In this often phony and topsy-turvy world, it seems to be difficult for a true friendship to grow. In fact, a true friendship only requires a few things, selflessness, support and consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

True friendship grows when you do not take account of what you get.\u00a0 In the story Holes<\/em>, Stanley, the main character, goes to see the Warden because he is accused of stealing sunflower seeds.\u00a0 While Stanley is gone, another camper Zero helps him to dig his hole.\u00a0 When Zero is digging Stanley\u2019s hole, he can\u2019t have known Stanley would teach him how to read and write afterwards.\u00a0 But their friendship begins to blossom.\u00a0 When Stanley starts teaching Zero how to read and write, their friendship grows deeper and deeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

True friendship also grows when the two start helping and supporting each other.\u00a0 In the story, when Stanley and Zero are heading towards a hill called Big Thumb, Zero feels so tired and dizzy that he isn\u2019t able to carry on. \u00a0Stanley immediately carries Zero and walks for a long period of time. \u00a0In fact, Zero isn\u2019t the only person who feels tired. \u00a0I believe Stanley is tired as well, as he is rather obese.\u00a0 He can actually choose to leave Zero alone and go on himself.\u00a0 But when he has made this decision, it obviously shows that Stanley sees Zero as his really important friend. \u00a0In doing so, a true friendship grows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, true friendship grows when the two are thinking for and being concerned about each other and overcoming difficulties together.\u00a0 On the way to Big Thumb, Stanley and Zero once keep asking each other if anyone of them is thirsty and tired. \u00a0\u201cAre you thirsty?\u201d \u00a0\u201cAre you feeling tired?\u201d \u00a0Sometimes, these simple words and questions could work like magic, just like a bit of sunshine on a cloudy day. \u00a0They can brighten the day and warm someone\u2019s heart.\u00a0 Though their way to Big Thumb is difficult and tough, their concern and consideration give them the drive to go on.\u00a0 Eventually, they reach Big Thumb, and their friendship is cemented.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

A true friendship contains understanding and mutual trust, where deception and lies are not allowed.\u00a0 Life has wonders for you to feel and enjoy.\u00a0 A true friendship is one of them.\u00a0 A life without a true friendship is like Facebook with no friends, Youtube with no videos and Google with no results.\u00a0 Get yourself in a true friendship and discover what it\u2019s like.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
