Exam Essay "The Ultimate Gift"

Find a true friend.

We, as humans beings, don’t want to feel lonely in our lives, that's why we interact with each other. That doesn´t mean we like all kind of people. We decide what person is going to spend our free time with us, those persons are our true friends.

In the movie the second gift that Jason recived was a true friend. Jason had a wonderful life. He had no responsabilities, and his only goal was to have fun time. He spent much money with his “friends” and was from one party to another. Therefore, a lot of people followed him and Jason thought it was because they were his friends. When Jason lost his house, he started looking for some places to crash and started to call all his friends and everyone gave him an excuse. Then he realized he didn’t have any friends. Because Jason didn’t have any place to stay, he crashed in a bench. In the park, Jason met a Little girl called Emily. Whe the relationship started to evolved Emilily told Jason he was a homeless and seemed he didn’t have any money and asked why they should be friends. He didn´t have nothing to offer, and Jason realized the only thing he had to offer was his friendship.

When a person don´t ask for something in Exchange, like money and they only care to be with you no matter what, those are the real friends. For example, when Jason was kidnaped and Emily found out she started to worry about him and she didn´t enjoy christmas because she didn´t stop thinking about Jason's safety. When Jason realized that Emily didn´t had a christmas he decided to do something speacial for her. After they spent all day together, Jason asked Emily what her bigger dream was and Emily told him she already had reached her dream and asked Jason for his dream and then he realized he hadn´t a dream and Emily told him he could enjoy hers, that's other thing about true friendship, when you can enjoy the happiness of other people.

Finally, before Jason went to his journey, he fought with Emily and her mother, but when he came back and saw everyone was just fine, they were too happy and forgot the previous fight. For me, this is the ultimated goal of a friendiship, maybe you fight with each other and could pass a long time without see each other and when finally see each other after a long time, it feels like a blink of an eye and just remember the good things and you act like nothing happened and only feels too glad to see each other.
