The book by name ' the hurt is a lonly hunter' describes two friends, that both of them are MUTE People. I think what makes a good frined is not who he/she is, but the actions and the sucrefise that he do towoards the friendship .I also can say that in tha book the two characters are true friends becouse of the way that they stick togather and help each other too the  end. When one is in truble or hurt the other will help.

now also i can say one thing that can contraduct that they are ordanary friends ,is the fact that they are mute. Its actualy very amazing friendship between two people. Becouce you dont see such a thing every day!
