Personal Narrative: The Day I Met Emmaline Kent

Superior Essays
The day I met Emmaline Kent will forever be engrained in my mind. If only I knew then what I know now things might be different.

My loving and dedicated mother, my hard working and honorable father, and a beautiful and kind sister. Even more I had Sienna the love of my life. Back then I couldn’t have recalled a time when we

At least that was the outwards appearance. On the inside I started noticing things about her. How could I not I was with her the entire day sometimes even stood watch outside her bedroom.

But the most important thing that I came to realize was that she had to be that way, it was the only way she would survive. I could tell under all the coldness and indifference and that mask of selfishness was just a girl who had lost everything. She had no one left unlike me who had my family and sienna.
Still, her outward behavior made it hard to believe what I was seeing. She was cold and aloof towards everyone and did everything with an air of superiority. When she spoke to him it was only to give him a terse command or to make a jape at his expense.
Late one night I was finally off duty. I was so tired I had been working the last three nights. I was looking forward to videoing home and getting to see my mom and sister, maybe even Sienna. As I was walking back to the dormitory I shared with Mason my best friend I saw a shadow by the balcony. When I was close enough I saw it was her, Emmaline sitting on the ledge with her feet hanging off. I was instantly alarmed and tried to approach

    When she is first introduced she can be seen as somewhat cruel, as she jumps from man to man in the valley. This also gives her a sense of vulnerability because the audience can see that she is obviously searching for something but is apparently unable to find what she wants/needs. From there she is once again painted with a sense of cruelty as the narrator describes both her leaving him and what she says in the bar. He describes her leaving him as, “When she left, I did not think I would ever eat again, drink again.
