For eighteen years, I felt that Kyle was my enemy. In fact, I found it ridiculous that people thought older brothers looked out for their sisters, protected them and fought off their sisters bullies (恃强凌弱者). Huh? My brother was the bully.When we were little, his fights with others caused my black eye, cuts in my lips and even a nosebleed or two. I often wished I were an only child!Time flew. We ended up attending colleges two thousand miles apart, yet, strangely, thats when we began communicating. Through email, we kept in constant touch. Mostly I complained about serious homesickness, impossible roommates, difficult classes, and . dating. I felt I lost myself.

Eighteen in all.Each one was from a different guy. They complimented (恭维) me. They invited me on dates. And they tried to convince me to make a trip out to Knox College and meet them.I loved it.

I picked up the phone.“Kyle, the box came and I cant believe what you did.” But Kyle wasnt accepting compliments. “Oh，” he said, “I was just tired of reading your oversensitive emails.”Big brothers, I decided, really did protect their sisters. And mine fought off the_biggest_bully Id ever met. Now I return to my true self, full of confidence.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了哥哥Kyle对自己的保护使她改变了对哥哥的
