Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain

I would be friends with Tom Robinsons. As can be inferred from the novel, tom Robinsons is friendly and helpful. He helps Mayella Ewell with her chores while on the way back home despite the indifferences between black and white. He is friendly towards her as described in the book. Even though he had a lot of opportunities for indecencies, he does not do anything to her disadvantage. This proves his clean down to earth personality.

Not only does Tom Robinsons fulfill the criteria to becoming a good friend, it would be interesting to have a nigger friend. By interacting with a black, maybe I would get to acquire knowledge on the bangala culture. By learning and understanding, the mysterious reasons of hatred for blacks will become clear. Also, a first step into understanding the other race may help in fostering better bonds between the two races.

Therefore, as Tom Robinson is kind, helpful and friendly. I would be his friend. Not only will he make an exceptionally good friend, there are also other advantages to making a new friend.
