Write an essay stating your position on whether it is better to have many friends or a few close friends.

It is better to have few close friends instead of having many friends, why? Because you would know who you could tell and always trust that it will be kept a secrect no matter what. Instead of having alot of friends where it wouldn't be really helpful because then you have to worry about information not being kept secrect, even though having less friends makes you feel lonely at times it is a good way to keep information hidden and not being gosspied around all over school, with less friends you aren't exposed to fake friends and if you are it'll probably be that 1 person that you have to let go instead of your whole friendship circle.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
