The idea of knowing a person and create a relationship consists of many factors. I would probably answer that I would like to be friend of Samuel Johnson. But I really dont know how the person is emotionally neither if his intentions are good. But, lets think about a situation were these factors doesnt exist. Samuel Johnsons is a person who is brilliant, is brilliant because of the ideas he posses and all the writing material he has composed and create. First of all we must give Johnson a credit for his big a idea of creating a English dictionary but, the English Dictionary would be probably created by another person. In few words the creation of an English dictionary was manifest destiny creation. Throughout history many civilizations had posses dictionaries of its own language. The English dictionary was a book that was meant to be written. The thing I like the most about Samuel Johnson is the love he has toward London. London is a placed that I really like and enjoy, like Johnson do. We would probably exchange many ideas about London’s life and would be very interesting knowing Johnson point of view toward London. The quote he wrote about london: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. It express the complete idea and all the feelings he felt at that time about that city. The dictionary words have an special meaning and also the authors point of view toward some of them. The examples used to tell the readers about the use of the words are very complete and usually exhibit the style Samuel Johson used during his written works. The next dictionary he wrote was a lot more extensive and was more complete, and that created a revolution toward the English literature. Samuel Johnson with his written work help many people, I assume, in writing and expressing his ideas with more words and also helping them understand what some things meant in some situations. Many of the words written in the first dictionary change throughout the passing of time and the meaning we can say that evolves into new slangs in our modern society and English speech.
