For a few past weeks in our “Skills 4 life” sessions we have been watching the movie Cars and we’ve been noticing the friendship that formed between McQueen and the citizens of Radiator Springs. At first when Lightning accidentally destroyed the main road in Radiator Springs everyone thought that he was a snobby race car that thought popularity was better than friendship. He expected that everyone knew who he was and that he needed to get to California ASAP for the Piston Cup race.
Friendship is having friends that care for you, stick up for you in “mean word” fights, and are trustworthy. Popularity is just having people know who you are and don’t really care about who you are.
His friendship level changed during the days he stayed at Radiator Springs. He was forced by Doc to fix the road he destroyed. So Lightning does a messy job. This proves that he has no intention to stick around in Radiator Springs. Doc then forces him to scrape the messy road job off and do a better job. Sally allows Lightning a cone at the Cozy Cone, trying to get Lightning as a friend. Mater explains after coming back from the tractor yard that McQueen is his best-friend and relies on him for everything. McQueen just says “Yeah…” showing that he knows nothing about friendship. Soon after fixing the road a crew of cars come in and find McQueen in “the middle of nowhere”. McQueen begs the cars to go away so he could spend a little more time with his new friends including Sally. But he gets taken away for the Piston Cup race.
I think a good friend is trustworthy nice and friendly i dont have a best friend.
