7,14 Independent Writing: Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Two people can become good friends even ifone of them has much more money than the other. Currently, there are a burgeoning number ofpeople concerning about the question whether two people can become friends evenif one is much richer than the other. As always, there is a solid opinion thatfriends can only be the same social class. Richer people are always lookingdown upon root grasses. On the other hand, some may debate that there is noboundary between friends whether you are the noble or the grass root level. I,given the chance, prefer to endorse that two people can become good friends eventhough one is very rich. First of all, the bond between friends isnot based on the same social class or the similar financial ability but thetrust between them. If one is very well-off while the other is stuck in poverty,that does not mean there is no possibility that one can become the other'schum. I think the most important thing between friends is nothing but thetrust. Compared to those fair-weather friends who have a lot of money, theopulent one often tend to find a person who is much more sincere and frank evenif he may be a bit poor and superficial. Developing a friendship is a mutualprocess, especially needing the mutual trust. I believe the loyal friend isalways the best one. Moreover, the same hobby and interest canbreak the constriction between the different economic strengths. People whohave more economic strengths are more likely to have detachment problem. Theyare more desired to find a truly good friend than anyone else. If you share thesame hobby or interest with them, you can always be friends with them. Thereason why most people who are not rich do not like to make friends with therich men is that they are so self-conscious that they are afraid of whethertheir clothes, their weight or even their teeth can match with others.Actually, those are not problems. For example, my family was not very opulentwhen I was young. As I was a high school student, I met a boy who had the samehobby with me, playing table tennis. His family had opulent assets and he woremuch more expensive clothes than mine. However, that did not matter. He stillbecame my buddy, since we had the same hobby. Last but not the least, if one has a numberof money, it can offer them a lot more chance to do much more joyful things.For example, a friend of mine is very rich. Whenever he has free time, he willcall his friends including me to go somewhere interesting to have a party. Hewill rent a big car and take camps. Then he will take us to the beach or amysterious and isolated area to have a big party. We will sing and dance. Wemay light a fire and barbeque. I cannot imagine how can we have such anexciting party if we do not have such a friend who has a lot of money. After ruminating those threeabove-mentioned reasons, I am fully convinced that two people can become goodfriends even if one of them has much more money than the other.
