Emoji's After: An Analysis Of The Story After

Decent Essays
I’m reading the story "After' (a watt pad story) and in the story the girl is a freshman in college and gets stuck with a roommate who has some unusual hobbies. One of the scenes in the book is when she goes to her first party with the roommate and her 2 friends. The emoji’s I would use to describe this scene is the laughing image and the shocked looking image because she ends up getting drink spilled on her, she is ready to go home, her friend gets drunk, she doesn't really fit in, and she walks in on two people in a room. In the text the author states," Yea. no... I went to a stupid party with my roommate and now I am stuck at a stupid frat house with nowhere to sleep and no way to get back to my room". The girl gets stuck at the frat house
