True Friend High School Life
313 words
Honesty, companionship, and loyalty are the
components that configure a true friend. First,
honesty includes both persons remaining truthful,
sincere, and frank to one another. If there is not
a trust between two persons than it is impossible
to maintain a friendship. For example, when Susan,
a high school teacher, was a freshman in high
school her best friend consequently lied about her
true feelings for Susan's boyfriend, which in turn
led to a dispute. Although, this example may be
irrelevant...

from the gray encroachments of 1943, the escape we
had concocted, this afternoon of momentary,

Gilgamesh And Enkidu Bull Of Heaven

True friendship is egalitarian. Everything is
shared, loyalty to the friendship is equal, and
the basis of the camaraderie is wholly altruistic.
The friendship between the king Gilgamesh and the
man of the steppe, Enkidu, was not a true and
equal friendship. Loyalties and sacrifices to that
friendship were disproportionate. Friendship is
conveyed in more than one way in Gilgamesh. The
companionship between Enkidu and the animals of
the steppe is the first example of friendship.
