What Makes a Good Friend?

Posted in My Writing by Tajh Ray on October 19, 2009

Have you ever questions if you could really trust your so called friend? It takes a lot to be a true friend. There are many traits a person can have to qualify them as a friend, and there are traits that can qualify them as a bad friend as well. Some examples of good friend would be Trustworthy, and Loyal. A few traits for a bad friend would be someone who is Optimistic, Dishonest, and a bad influence.

First a friend who is trustworthy is someone that you can rely on to be there when you need someone to talk to, or tell them something that you couldn’t tell someone else. It takes a lot to trust someone trust takes a long time to get. An example of trust would be 2 friends who are the best of friends in school, but others are jealous of their friendship and try to tear them apart. The friends know each other well and know to trust that they can rely on what each other say.

Second a friend who is Loyal would be someone who is with you through thick and thin even when the times get hard. It is hard to find a loyal friend because a lot of people may look loyal when really they aren’t. An example of loyalty in a real friendship would be two people that are the best of friends since 2nd grade. 1 of the friends get cocky when he meets a girl and is reminded by his friend to not get confused by a girls tricks.

And third a few examples of someone who is optimistic, dishonest, and a bad influence could be hidden in your crowd of friends so watch out. You may think everything is alright but the person could try to confuse you in to thinking that what they do is right and it can end up you being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There is so much in this world and so many opportunities for someone to just throw away.We only get 1 ride on this world so make it a good one. An example in a real friendship of someone who is Optimistic, Dishonest, and a bad influence could be 2 friends who are hanging out and a crowd comes near them and offers them marijuana. 1 boy says yes and the other is unsure the bad influence tells his friend it is good for him and that it couldn’t hurt him.

In conclusion there are many traits a person can have to qualify them as a friend, and there are traits that can qualify them as a bad friend as well. Watch who you hangout with and choose your friends wisely.

NATIVE AMERICAN CREATION STORIES

Posted in Book Talk by Tajh Ray on October 1, 2009

I believe the earth was created by god. I know this because it is said in the bible.The first people were made by god our of sand. I know this because it to is mentioned in the bible. It does matter why the earth and people were created because people need to know where they came from, and what they are.

The Native American stories are somewhat similar. They all thought god made the earth and it was just created by their gods. The Native Americans also have major differences. The Inca carved their humans out of stone, as to the Mayan just thinking what they wanted and having it appear. These stories tell me that Native Americans thought just as other cultures did. Many cultures thought gods created the Earth. Inca, Mayan, and Apache all had gods create the earth and people.

Some might have true parts in the but some are a bit detailed to be true. It isn’t really exactlly true to believe what you hear about the earth creation because our earth is so old and no one is still alove from back then. I don’t think my beliefs are completely true. Having a man create people using just dirt is a bit unbelievable, but who knows it may never truely be known why we are here. I just focus on being here rather then knowing why i am here. Life is to short to spend your time figuring out why we are here. We are obviouslly here for a reason so enjoy it while it last and treat your planet right.
