Literary Essay

Have you ever felt lonely without any friends? In the story I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 by Lauren Tarshis, Chet realizes that friends are important. 

Chet is upset that his friends don't like him anymore because he played a bad prank on them. He worries that he will not be able to become friends again. "He kept thinking of that furious look on Sid's face when Chet came out of the water" (48) He understands that he needs friends to be happy, or else he will be lonely, and his old friends will never come back to him.

Chet's friends will still not come back and make up with Chet, and Chet is too scared to go back to them.
