Justin Diary Entry Analysis

Decent Essays

Cher Journal,
Today Victor left for Ingolstadt. He just left but hours ago and I already feel the vastness of my cousin’s absence. It’s hard for me to see him go for I have been within his presence for as long as I remember. It must be hard for him to go as well, especially with the recent passing of his mother, my dear Aunt Caroline. I feel partially responsible for her death; she caught the sickness from me. I am still so very thankful that the sickness did not take the same hold on me as it did her. This family has never seen the sadness we all behold now;I doubt we could take even one more.

My uncle has been patiently waiting for a response directly from Victor as well. If we do not hear from my cousin soon, I assume Uncle will travel there to check on the wellbeing of Victor himself.

I do doubt that my dear friend would leave that vital information out of the letters if that were the case. The time has gotten away from me and the moon is high in the sky. I will wait another day with baited breath for a letter or Victor to return to Geneva once
