Personal Narrative Analysis

I stood upon 2 separate roads and thought to myself, “which one should I take?” There is the one road that I always took, and then there’s the one that I have never taken before. Of course, due to my curiosity, I took the unfamiliar one without further thought. I kept walking up the road thinking I was going to reach my destination, but after making a couple turns, I ended up in a place I was unfamiliar with. By then, I realized that I was lost.

I was on my way to meetup with a friend who was waiting for me at the ice rink. I was walking my usual path, but I made this turn to the other direction thinking it was a shortcut. Now that I am lost, I wasn’t able to make it. I tried to turn back, but I couldn’t remember which way I came from. I

was unfamiliar with the street numbers and didn’t have a phone to use. I was in an unpleasant situation; with no phone, I wasn’t able to call for help, or even letting my friend know that I wasn’t able to make it. It seemed that I was left with no options, but there was one more way to get out of my situation: I had to ask a stranger for assistance.

Asking another person for help wasn’t easy for me. I was a very timid individual who would never start a conversation with another.
