Rough Draft
During life you can go through tough times, and sometimes you need a
friend to comfort and help you through it. Friendship is a thing that every
person needs, and without it you have no one to stand up for you and stick with
you in times of need. Some friends are just fun to be around and hang out with.
Although, there are some friends who are always be there to support you through
the good and bad times. The friendship between Mercutio and Romeo is very
similar to a lot of friendships, including mine.
Friendship is something to be cherished and should never be taken for
granted. As Tybalt approaches, wanting to fight Romeo, Mercutio stands up for
him and draws his sword (3.1.75). Mercutio is trying to be a good friend to
Romeo by standing up for Romeo and fighting Tybalt himself. Tybalts disrespect
towards Romeo and himself angers him, as he feels the need to draw his sword and
fight. After Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt, he cries “Why the devil came you
between us? I was hurt under your arm”(3.1.103). Tybalt is outraged that he lost
the fight and feels the need to blame someone else for his loss. Tybalt is the
type of person who always thinks he has to be the best, and can never admit
defeat in something, so he finds excuses for everything he loses; and this time
it so happens to be the fight. Tybalt is trying to be a friend to Romeo by
fighting for him, but he is stubborn and blames Romeo for his defeats, and real
friends don’t do that.
Happiness can be caused by many things in life, and friendship is one of
them. One time I was getting made
fun of by this one kid who didn’t like me, and my friend stands up for me as he
punches him in the dome. I didn’t ask my friend to do this, but just as a friend
he stands up for me. Friends don’t have to be asked to do stuff for a friend,
they just know when to do something for a friend when he or she is in need. The
kid then fights back and beats up my friend; my friend is hurt, and apologizes
for not being able to beat the kid up the kid as he was only trying to help.
Some people might blame you for their mistakes, but friends admit defeats and
make you feel better. My friend is ashamed he did not beat the kid up and hopes
he did not disappoint me. I am not disappointed; as I am very thankful to have a
friend that would do all that he did for me.
Mercutio and Romeos friendship may have been a good one for a while, but
it didn’t end or turn out well. Mercutio in the end blames Romeo for his
misfortunes, and to me that is not something a good friend would do. A good
friend sticks with you, supporting you till the end, and that is what my friend
has done. During the bad times, a true friend is there to support you and help
you through it.
