What is true friendship?
Recently, I am thinking about a question: what is true friendship? I am very puzzled about it.
Since I entered the university, gradually I become very sad and negative. Everyday I just feel very lonely and unhappy. At first, I thought I couldn’t adjust myself to the new environment quickly, so I am in the difficult about find the right way of releasing myself. However, at last, I find it is because that I can’t find true friends. Maybe you will be curious about that. But it is the real reason. Though my companions and I stay together all days, it seems that our hearts are apart from each other. We talk together and eat together. However, there still is estrangement between us. Why? It makes me remember my best friend Nicky. She is my classmate in high school. She is one day older than me. We have our own tacit agreement that we are always missing each other without any connection. We stay in the best conditions to be the best friends. Maybe we don’t communicate with each other very often, but our hearts are always together. We put the other side into our heart. I am very cherish the memory of the time in high school. I love that feeling when we accompany with each other.
Now, this kind of feeling is missing. I can’t find my true friends in the university. I can’t find the true friendship between my roommates and me. How can I deal with it? I am very happy and it just is superficial phenomenon. I am very tired to pretend myself. I just want to find some friends, to share the happiness and pain with me; I just need true friendship, to make me live a happy and joyful life; I just want to find someone who can truly understand me and care me. And in my opinion, the friendship is like the air to our human-beings. It is very important to me. I can’t live without it. Who can understand me? Who can help me?
Here, I just want to say it out to make me relaxed. Of course, I will try my best to open wide my mind and spend more time on discovering the beauty of others, because I can’t imagine that what my life will be without any friends. -
Go, everybody — The book review of The Old Man and the Sea
The book The Old Man and the Sea is written by Ernest Hemingway. The auther came from America and he is very famous until now.
The story is very easy. It tells a story that an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream had traveled for eighty-four days without catching a fish. Then he hooked a heavy fish called marlin finally. But the fish was too big and was keeping escaping. It was tired out after removing the boat on the sea for three days. What’s more, when the fish died, its blood attracted sharks. These sharks had come up from deep down in the water as the dark cloud of blood had settled and dispersed in the mile deep sea. They had come up so fast and absolutely without caution that he broke the surface of the blue water. The old man Santiago was attacked by the sharks. But man was not made for defeat. A man could be destroyed but not defeated. At last, Santiago was back carrying a great long white spine with a huge tail at the end.The story was based on a real person. The author said,” I tried to describe a true old man, a true boy, a true sea, a true fish and many true sharks. However, if I can write them enough true to nature, they can also stand for a lot of other things.” Faced with the misfortunes, many people always bear filled with courage and demeanour merely. However, the old man, Santiago, he was in the adverse position at first because he had traveled for eighty-four days without catching a fish. Everyone thought he was definitely and finally salao, which was the worst form of unlucky. At the same time, many other fishermen laughed at him and regarded him as a loser. The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neek. Though he had so many difficulties, his bravery lied in that he must do what can’t be realized. He made his mind and sailed for the sea in the distance. When he hooked the heavy marlin, he held the line to the end with strong mind. ” Fish ,” he said softly aloud ,” I’ll stay with you until I am dead.” Confronted with the sharks, the old man wasn’t afraid. Nothing could destroy his strong will. Here it pointed out the connotative meaning that a man could be destroyed but not defeated.
I love the story. It pointed out the true meaning of human nature. Everyone could be destroyed but not defeated. This sentence contains rich intention that can encourage people and inspire the fighting spirit of people. Through this book, I have learned a lot. I believe, when I am faced with any trouble, I can speak loudly,” I’ll stay with you until I am dead.”
Go, everybody! For your better tomorrow, never give in to difficulties! -

The leather clothes
As we all know, there are many kinds of materials used for making clothes. For example, cloth, silk, cotton, jeans, wool, they all can be made into clothes. And as world turns into more powerful, a new trend in clothes material is becoming more and more popular. That just is the leather.
A material made up of tanning hides and the flesh of animals is called leather. The most used animal skin for preparing leather is cattle hide. There are different ways to convert the skin of an animal in to a supple or a strong material called leather. There are different types of leathers.Vegetable Tanned Leather is not stable in water as it tends to loose its color when kept in water and going to shrink when it is dried and soaked and becomes less hard and less supple.
The Chrome Tanned Leather was created earlier in the year of 1858. The leather is made up of a salt called chromium sulphate and other salts of chromium. When compared to vegetable tanned leather, chrome tanned leather is more hard and more supple as it does not loose its color and shape even it is kept in water. Chrome tanned leather is also called as Wet Blue leather because of its color formed by chromium sulphate.A leather skirt is made up of pure leather. The reason for preparing a leather skirt is it looks in a variety of way when compared to a normal skirt. It is made up of a durable material that looks in a certain fashion trend. Normally girls use to wear leather skirts because it is very comfort. Leather skirts are especially useful in fashion designing and the girls use to wear for participating in a ramp shows and in the modeling. Short leather skirts are useful for party wears and long leather skirts are useful for office works as it looks more professional than compared to other skirts. Nowadays girls used to carry leather purses for shopping and etc.
Today leather pants play a key role in the trend and the fashion. The people used to wear leather pants and leather shirts especially for attending functions and for modeling purpose. Leather pants and leather jackets have made a revolutionary change in the dress style and in the fashion world.But as far as my concerned, the leather used animal skin is illegal. It harms the animals’lives. Nowadays, more and more people hunt animals for their skins , the animals are in the danger. Here, I call on everyone to buy the man-made leather instead of the leather made from animals’ skins. We should live with animals in harmony.

The funny T-shirts
We all like to be the center of the world, but we don’t have the chance. We all like to be the hero in others’ eyes, but we don’t have the ability as superman. But we can be the superman in our own minds and the persons around us. We can bring laughs to others and make them happy. We can bring the happiness to others to make them joyful. We can do a lot of things.We humans are social creatures and whilst some of us are more introverted than others we all still need and crave the respect, admiration and approval of our peers and this is a fundamental need which is possessed by all humans regardless of status in life, personal wealth or power. We are all eager to make our mark on the world, to stand out and allow our individuality to show clearly and prominently and this is why funny t-shirts are so popular because it places us firmly in control. Many of us feel the need to conform with our peer group and so purchase and wear exactly the same apparel as them meaning that our individuality and personal freedom is sorely restricted indeed. Funny t-shirts provide us with a convenient escape plan meaning that we can have our cake and eat it.
The bitter irony about being human is that whilst we are social creatures and therefore need social interaction in order to thrive and survive, we make things extremely difficult upon ourselves by imposing long winded and arduous obstacles and rituals. The number of rules of etiquette and methods of behaving in different social situations is large and complex indeed and it is little wonder then that many of us are left out on a limb whenever we meet someone new.
Both parties have to fight the natural urge to spend the entire conversation talking about themselves, lest they appear too self-absorbed or impolite whilst at the same time professing to enjoy what the other person has to say even when they so clearly do not.
Funny t-shirts are an excellent way to “break the ice” in any social context, whether it is a party, family get together or even a date. It provides common, emotionally neutral ground upon which both parties can meet, and provides a convenient talking point for them both, from there, more substantial and meaningful conversation can be achieved. On that basis then, funny t-shirts can be fairly described as the necessary catalyst which will help lubricate the final success of any social interaction and so whilst the purchase of funny t-shirts maybe little more than a impulse purchase for most people, they serve an extremely beneficial and strategic role in the long term.
People who are contemplating purchasing funny t-shirts raise the question:” what if my date does not get the joke, or otherwise find it not that funny ?”
Just because your date doesn’t appreciate your particular brand of humour does not mean that the date is a total loss, after all if they take an interest in your T-shirt , this means that again, the ice is broken. Funny t-shirts are also the ideal gift for someone because they are so personal and individualistic, serving to accurately and effectively representing and conveying the personality of the wearer in a more graphical and overt form.Do you have the idea that how to be the superman? I suppose you have had!
