The novel ‘the outsiders’ is making the same point about friendship as the film ‘rebel without a cause’ as they both convey the idea that during this time, friendship was very important to all teenagers as they are more independent and spend more time away from their families, and aren’t as close.

The first factors that helped Rameck stay on the right track, is the support his friends provided him with. The lives of most vulnerable young kids are defined by their friends, no matter if their friends are black, Asian, Hispanic, or white and no matter if they are poor, middle class, or rich. For all of that, Rameck knew that good friends should support, motivate, and rise with you. He also knew that friends could lead to trouble and breaking down of dreams, hopes, and possibilities. Fortunately, he had two friends were on his side and supported him to stay on the path of success. Being close to George and Samn was so important to Rrameck, because they influenced him in a good way, for example, George convinced him to apply for Seton hall; he said,“Man, we could go to college for free” (72). This is when George shared the idea of going to medical school and

The traditional idea of American friendship has evolved drastically over time. In this age, no longer do you see the close group of friends chatting at the ‘Central Perk Café’ or engaging in many misadventures in the basement of Foreman’s house, such as they did in ‘That 70’s Show’. The aged image of a group of friends and their wise, perceptive teacher, Mr. Feeney, happily standing in the halls of John Quincy Adams middle school is fading out. This overused 1970’s-1990’s idea of friendship no longer applies to most American friendships today because our culture has swayed into a more modern viewpoint, due to the

“The Pact” is a piece of nonfiction by Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt it’s about three people grew up in the intercity and made a pact to go to college and become doctors. The theme of “The Pact” is loyalty because the novel demonstrates that quality in many ways.

I would recommend, “The Pact: Three young men make a promise and fulfill a dream” to eleventh grade students for several reasons. First factor, throughout this whole novel it gives you a wakeup call.

Throughout this novel you will see how hard they had it and they still chased

He constantly reminded them of the benefits of graduating from college and succeeding in what they wanted to do. Sam and Rameck might have had other options but their plans would not be beneficial in the long run. Some of these options included, starting a rap group, selling drugs back in their home town, and playing basketball. These might have sounded good at first but they would only last for a certain time. Graduating from college with that degree and helping out those in need was more of a priority and turned out to be a better plan, the key plan during that time was to follow through with their higher education.

Rameck would often skip class to hang out with them. He spent some time in juvenile correctional facility for beating up a white man, breaking his nose.

In The Pact, Dr.Rameck Hunt began with a tone of adulation shifting to a more gloomy state with the intention of informing his youthful audience about working through the struggles of being in love. Love is uncontrollable and powerful which can be good and or in this case bad; making the person in love prone to getting hurt by the other person or leaving them vulnerable. In the book the author shows the character being infatuated by his girlfriend; this exhibits to the reader that when you fall in love nothing else may seem to be as important other than your partner making things unrealistic. In the book the author incorporates this tone of adulation when the character Rameck states that he “wanted to marry” his girlfriend even though they

In life, people make, break and regain a myriad of relationships. As we continue this process, we will find that not all confrontations and friendships leave us with a positive impact. Although there will be a multitude of unsatisfactory bonds, it is imperative that people are able to seek out friends that will always be there for them. The ability to find and maintain supportive friendships is one that Melinda was not always able to do and it often kept her from being able to break out of her gloomy shell after her being raped. When one has healthy relationships, they experience happy emotions, such as feeling included. Melinda failed to recognize the benefits of healthy relationships, as she often excluded herself from social events. After a basketball game at the high school, David Petrakis, Melinda’s lab partner in science, invited her over for pizza. Melinda’s mind was torn about what she should do. One part of her was thinking that she should have gone to have pizza with David, while the second part of her mind was thinking that she was scared of boys and that she would be better off

A quote from Author Truman Capote “Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.” Buddy, from A Christmas Memory, has one friend, his distant cousin, and is loyal and kind to her all the time. Like the quote, Buddy does not have many other friends and is very friendly with the one friend he has. Jimmy and Bob’s friendship starts to deteriorate, because they don’t spend enough time each other.

William Damon is an educator/researcher on psychology and education. In William Damon’s work, he has proposed that children’s friendships are developed in three specific stages. In Level 1, children are about 4-7 years old. During this level children see each other as momentary playmates. During this stage children are all about having fun, with limited perspectives. Children want things their way and do not wish to hear different opinions other than their own. As the child gets older, at the age of 8-10 years old a more profound friendship is formed, this is called Level 2. During this time a child start to build trust and start to think of other rather than just themselves. Children learn the value of sharing and learn how to compromise. Lastly, Level 3 is during the approximate age of 11- 15 years old. During this time, friends are valued the most to a child. This is a more mature stage where children build trustful relationships and a high level of emotional closeness is built. Regardless of age cliques and crowds always develop among children and adults. A clique is a group of member that share common interests, often are of the same gender. The members of the group are often labeled or stereotyped. Crowds are very similar to cliques, both shape the minds of children on how they should act or how they should be. Both add pressure to adolescents under peer pressure such as drinking, smoking, skipping school, or sex in order to fit it. Cliques and crowds develop as a way
