Discussion
similarities
thought it was cool how simmilar our responces to this sentence were. we differ on most of them so its interesting to see what we do agree on. im glad that the idea of a good friend seems to be universally dependant on the same qualities, trust, comfort and dependability.
difference
I have noticed that though responses to this question were mostly the same for both sides, as Luke has said, but there were some subtle differences. For example, the most oftenly occuring thought among French responses is that a good friend helps you, while in American responses - a good friend simply is there for you (though the other response happens for both sides, it's not nearly as prevalent). Why do you think this is so?
