Interpret the quote above–tell us what it means to you, in your own words. Do you agree that taking an interest in other people is a way to make friends? What if nobody practiced that theory? What would happen then? As we begin to read our first novel, Stargirl, make a connection between the main characters and the quote.
ps–please, please, please use correct grammar and punctuation for this post. I was rather lenient with the grades for the last post. Capitalize I when referring to yourself.
Muchos gracias,

Well I think that you can have friends if you both have a lot in commen. Having a friend is much more than that. When you have a friend you don’t think about yourself, you think to yourself and say how can I help this person. I believe that if you do things you and your friend likes you’ll be okay. If your selfish and think about yourself you will have no friends and be all alone.

I think it dosent always hold true, but for a majority of the time it dose. Meaning if you approach somebody instead of waiting for them to come to you resaults will happen alot faster. If the person shows interest pursue a friendship. Im not going to say always be yourself, or bombard you with cleshays but what I will say is this. Its not the end of the world.

Did I forget that again, Rachel?

I agree with the comment by Dale Carnegie because if you show interest in someone and you have things in common, you are more likely to become friends. If nobody took an interest in other people everyone would be like Emo people. An Emo person tends to keep to him or herself and not communicate very well with others out of their group. People like to hang with others who have things in common.

I LIKE CHEESE

That’s great CJ. Cheese is good. And, great comment, too! Richard, your comment was very insightful. Here’s my question to you: Is it better to have just 1 good friend, or 10 friends who aren’t the best? Just wondering. Later!

I think it means that you should think about others before you think of yourself.I agree with the quote. If nobody thought of others before thinking of themself’s then no one would have any friends. Then everyone would be enemies.

Somehow Richard’s comment is posted under our last post on 9/11. So really guys, with my previous comment, I wasn’t just making stuff up that Richard said. Seriously.

Well it depends on the cheese and, or person, I myself prefer swiss because it is holy, and pepper jack because it is hot and spicy. I dont agree with what people are saying I’ve acted like that before but it never really worked so now I make myself, my own selves buisness only because I highly dislike the people who have gawked at me and made fun of me thats why i say its not true.

Yes it is true I have made more friends this year. I have becoming interested in a lot of other things, but one thing is certain I will always have one best friend. Your best friend will be with you through some of the good and not good times. This is how you will know who your best friend really is.

I think this is true. it is always good to start talking to new people, i know this because a cupple weeks ago i just started talking someone and we have been talking more and more we have always known of eachother but never said anything to eachother and now that we talk we have more in comon then i would even of known and it all started out by saying ”hey” and now we are pretty good friends. i think this is very true and you should always try and talk to new people that you dont know. you never know how much you and that person can have in comon.

Well I’m glad to see that some of you agree with this quote. It’s easy to just sit around and wait for things to happen, but what really shapes our future is our willingness to be proactive and take matters into our own hands. Now let’s discuss how this relates to Stargirl. Good job guys!

i have gained alot of friends and alot more people like better than last year i get along with the teachers better.
October 16th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Well Sid, you just have such nice and friendly teachers who are so easy to get along with–especially that English teacher of yours. What’s her name? Styles or something? Seriously, it’s easier to get along with people if they feel that you are geniuinely interested in getting to know them. It tends to work out well that way. And if doesn’t, then move on.

i agree with doug i’ve made more friends this year
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:12 am
I agree with the quote above. It’s easier to become friends when you’re interested in other people. When your interested in other people you learn a lot about them. It helps you to learn about other people and other situations so you can know more about life.

I am reading jaws the fish book. I do not recomend it to other people to read. I suggest watching the movie because movies are always way better than books. My favorite passage is (There had not been much sex in the brody household recently.) because there to old to do it.
