Friendship

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the three friends (Harry, Ron, and Hermione) deeply rely on each other to get through their struggles in and out of school.  The same could be said about Ree and her two younger siblings in Winter’s Bone.  Both books put a strong emphasis on helping and relying on others.

            In some way or another, almost everyone relies on other people for help.  If there were ever any problems I needed help with, I know I can rely on friends and family to help me out. For example, I was in a really bad accident last year around this time. I was driving down one of the dirt roads near my home, and hit a patch of black ice. My car spun out of control and struck a bank. I was in really bad shape so I got on my cell phone and called my friend Dave, who lived a couples miles up the road. Dave called for help and immediately rushed down to where my car was totaled. He waited for the tow truck to come and let me go back with him to his house to make sure everything was okay.  Later on that night my parents came by to pick me up.  I then told them the whole story and they were completely fine with the car being totaled and that the only thing they cared about was me being unharmed.  This is one of the main reasons why people need others to rely on because every person needs help with their problems.
