In this analysis I tried my best to talk about David and my way to describe him. We didn’t know each other for the longest time, we met when college started but when our English Professor assigned us WLLN I literally got to know him in a deep way. In this analysis I open myself when it comes to the question ‘How would you describe David?’ and of course I gave some feedback about his WLLN. Like I mentioned, we don’t know each other for too long so I don’t have much to say or a lot of information to provide and like a lot of people say ‘You never get to know a person completely’. Even though I feel like I took everything out when it comes to explaining what I think about him, every thought, feelings, questions, worries, etc. I also hope that if he sees this analysis he doesn’t feel bad because I didn’t have any type of bad intentions.

          David touched sensitive aspects of his life to write his essay. I noticed that opened himself and he let his feelings go. I have met David since the beginning of the college year (Around the second week). When I first saw him I really thought he did not like people, I thought he was one of those people who hated to be close to others and were just minding their business, I was all wrong. He is nice, kind, thoughtful, and I feel he has a very innocent heart. When I read his essay I met a part of David I couldn’t have ever imagined of him. When I started to read his essay, one of the things I found interesting was the fact that we both came to this country at the age of 12. In my opinion I always thought that coming to this country at the age of 12 was one of the biggest mistakes because your mind is pretty much full and you know it’s better to learn such important things like a new language at an early age, I don’t know maybe at 6 years old. But when I read that part of his essay I felt a type of connection with him. We came here at the same age and we both had the same problem, we didn’t know English at all. While me and David were making our interview, I notice that he has a really good heart and not saying it to be nice or anything like that, it’s because I could read his body language he is has a calm person, very innocent but with a lot of things to say, a lot of thoughts and memories, I felt like he wants and needs somebody to listen to him.

          In my opinion, it’s a mystery the way David learns english, somehow he finds the way to talk about anything else but he never talks about things that helped him to learn the language. I know that throughout his journey he read a lot of books and he used to work at a resort in New Jersey but I don’t have any other type of information. Also one thing that is necessary in order to learn English is practicing, like having a conversation with a person who already knows the language and I know David is a little bit shy when it comes to talking. He is a very nice person but I think that he is starting to feel uncomfortable. I guess David was somehow dierent in that aspect and maybe he didn’t need to talk to others.

          I really don’t know, like I mentioned he didn’t give the right information, I’m literally talking from my perspective and a little information he gave about his past and connecting the dots, I can be wrong. David mentioned people but never told me how they helped him to learn the language. He talked about some girl called Sophie he met while he was in a psych ward. I know Sophie was an important piece of his life when he came to this country. I feel like I know more of his personal life than what I know about his journey learning English. I got to know him as a person and I liked his personality and his vibe, he is very calm. I think he is like an onion. You would need to peel the layers slowly to get to know the David without shyness, having patience and also trying not to cry because I know he had dicult moments that had guided him to do certain things I wish he would never try to do again. David is a great person after all, I feel he needs someone to talk to and someone who is willing to understand his Mountain language and listen to him. I liked to get to meet him. I’m glad I chose his essay to analyze. I can’t lie, it was easy because I had a lot to get from even though it wasn’t about the prompt, I got to know the life of one of my classmates and friends. Thanks to David for sharing such a beautiful story about him and how well he expressed himself. I hope this friendship continues after college and also after this analysis.
