Plot Summary of The Care and Keeping of Friends
"The Care and Keeping of Friends goes into detail about how to make good friends. It offers suggestions about how to approach a person and start a friendship (basically by just being nice and helpful and talking to new people), what to do while with your friends when your bored, how to become your own friend, and the problems friends can face.
This book deals a lot with the problem of only have one or two "best friends." Although it is good to have good friends, the book says you need to be careful that you're not making new friends because of your old ones. It is also important that your friends don't own you and tell you what to do and what not to do.
The book also discusses what to do when you have friends in other towns (long-distance friends, it calls them). When you can't visit a friend, it can be hard, but this book talks more about what to do with them.
Lastly, the book talks about how to avoid fights and what to do when they happen. It gives 7 Top Fight Startes, such as showing off or ignoring a friend. It also gives some remedies for these fights, such as not shouting and really listening to your friend.
In the back of this book, there is a place to fill in your friends names and different things about them. There's even a place to put their picture!"
