What is a Good Friend?

In the story "Viva New Jersey" I think Lucinda should take Ashley as a friend. If you don't agree with me I will tell you a few examples so that you do. Before that I will tell you the characteristics a  friend should have. Then tell you how Ashley has those characteristics. One characteristic a good friend should have is to be friendly. You wouldn't want to have a friend who is grumpy always. I have a friend that is always happy and cheerful.  Another characteristic is to be caring. You would want to have a friend who would help you when you had a problem. Whenever I forgot something in my car or something she would always come with me to get it. Last but not least is that a good friend would be patient. My friend always stays with me when I am late for something.There are many other characteristics a good friend should have but it would take too long to name all of them. Now I will tell you how Ashley has those 3 characteristics.First of all she always says "Hi" to Lucinda whenever she see her. So that shows that she is friendly. Also Ashley wanted to help Lucinda when she lost her dog. She cared for her. Last of all she is patient because when they were looking for the dog Ashley didn't leave, even though they looked for over an hour. She was patient and kept on looking. I hope those examples made you know why Ashley is a good friend.
