I'd like do know what "I was like" in the underlined.
I'd like do know what "I was like" in the underlined.
I felt a little bit strange when I read ' I was like' in the sentence.
I think "I was like" means "I thought" in that line, right?
Can this expression be used well? or not?
The scripts go like;
1.This embrace is one of mother to son.
Renee Varela and Eric Ford, proof you don’t have to give birth to give someone life.
“ I thought I was gonna cry much more, but I’m, I’m so..” “and I’m so emotional I knew I would.”
The credit for smiles and laughter this day goes to Anthony Varela, an 18 year old killed by a drunk driver last august. His mother, Renee, had seconds to decide if she would donate his organs.
“I was like, he’s young, he could help somebody and he would (be) just that type of person.”
2. Eric Ford Transplant Recipient:
“It was a matter of life and death. It was, either I’d do, or I’d die.”
