Jenni And I: Multiple Issues Of A Roommate

918 Words4 Pages

Jenni and I since being roommates have had multiple issues, progressively worsening over time. The issues include no idea of personal space, boundaries when speaking, and just overall the idea of what the difference is between a roommate, a friend, and/or a significant other.
Over the course of the summer and beginning of the semester these issues were addressed between Jenni and I and involved other people to help mediate things, including; Caitlin the Mann Hall Director and Dean Sharp. The meetings only worked for a little and had little improvement on Jenni’s actions. Jenni continued to push boundaries of personal space and what a roommate should be.
Since Jenni and I have not been roommates she has gotten worse when it comes to seeing …show more content…

However, around two weeks ago Jenni became worse than ever before at the cafeteria and came to my work again. While at the cafeteria Jenni approached me three times, which is more than usual during my twenty minute period to eat. Jenni came up to me and said “I can’t handle this anymore I want to talk to you”. I told her no and said she would have to deal with it because I don’t want to talk to her. She asked why I told her she knows why. She just kept trying to talk me into talking with her even though I kept pushing her away. During the last approach she even began to cry. While I was sitting and eating at a table with two other people Jenni stared at me for long periods of time as if dazed and appeared to be oblivious to her surroundings, this was before the crying.
Later that night Jenni came to my work and stayed outside of the doorway staring at me for around 5-6 minutes. I was extremely uncomfortable, the same way I feel in the cafeteria. I haven’t felt safe in a while because of Jenni, I am always paranoid while on campus and even while off campus, if I have to go to Wal-Mart, which is where she works. Jenni has never respected the boundaries I have had set in place even with the signing of two different contracts; one with Caitlin and then later with Dean

Even when we talked in private, she told me she didn’t need anything. I noticed that she has a wall up, and doesn’t like to talk about it. Part of the reason I believe is because we haven’t worked as much together for her to feel comfortable to let me know about her personal life. After making an arrangement to get her family dinner sent home twice a week, you could tell in her eyes she was feeling better. Because she lives in a large household, and their circumstance; I could see why sharing her dinner might bother her.

What Johnny can then do is use language of responsibility and explain why his friend is affecting him. He should give a low-level abstract explanation in order that Ken can understand how his friend is affecting his sleep and his school work. For example, he can say that one night, Ken and his friend stayed up late and made a lot of noise, which distracted him from his studying and had a bad night’s rest and resulted in a poor test grade.

Citizen Kane challenged the traditional narrative and technical elements of classic Hollywood cinema mainly in the area of sound. Orson Welles was ahead of his time when he created his works of manipulating sound to transfer meaning in the film Citizen Kane. Welles used concealed hanging microphones to obtain different levels of sound throughout the film. The manner, in which the story was told, from Kane’s death flashbacked to his life of success and ultimate failure, was also a new style of storytelling for films. Welles also used symbolism with his last mumbling word “Rosebud.”
