All the people around me live different lives, yet their views of a meaningful life isn't that much different from each other. All the people I interviewed seem to share the same idea that friendship is an important part of their life that makes their lives more meaningful. They all seem to agree that friends are like another family to them, and because they cause happiness and are always there for them, that makes friendship meaningful in their lives. One specific interviewee, Alex, thought friendship was the most important thing for her, while others put family as number one in their list. When asked why, Alex simply replied, saying "Family is more troublesome then friends, and since I have a very small family, with no one my age and I hardly see them, to me friends are more important but only by a little".
The other five interviewee seem to think that family is more important and meaningful because they share the same blood, and grew up with them, so they have a more important bond with their families. After disagreeing and saying that friends are like family too, one interviewee, Belgica said “yes they can be, but family have the same blood as you, speak the same language, you grow up with them”. For that statement I just said “You can say the same thing for friends, I grew up with my best friend, knew her since I was a little kid and we both speak English and consider each other as family”. She agreed but argued that blood is more important because its apart of you, and that they can help you out whenever you need their blood. I asked her why family is so important in this world. She thought for a while before saying “I guess its because we were taught as kids that family is important, and to respect them, so I guess its like a habit that never ends” I found this interesting and tried to get her to explain it better, but she said she couldn’t explain it more then that.

ok, well I know you had time constraints so I'm going to cut you a break :)
I do think however that you managed to make it look longer by spacing your images out.
What was good was that you quoted people directly, and you didn't do it too much which was also good. You could have elaborated on this and analyzed it though.
I think that you should cut out the responses that you said, because they could have your opinion and this has to be opinion free.
Otherwise good rough draft, just expand and add more points
Yes, The quotes are pretty good and how you analyzed it too. I thought you brought up interesting perspectives on friends and family.
I think you should add 2 more patterns and...It is pretty hard not to add your own opinion..but I guess you shouldn't..I have to take that out on mine too lol.
The points you bring up are good just add more and expand like what henry? said.
henry's advice is good.
this sentence should either be reworked or you should be a little careful around your friend;
"they can help you out whenever you need their blood"
