Due on Tuesday, 10/30 - Friendships & Identity

WRITE: In your notebook:

Think about your friends. Do you regard them all

In the same light? Would you group them in any way? On what basis would you group them?

Do you believe that friendships transform as time passes? Can you think of an example of a friendship evolving? Dissolving?

Using a scale of 1-10, how important would you say your friends are to you?
