Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-25755332-20141126045835/@comment-25755332-20141126060955

It was the part "I wanna be" that got me thinking, what if Ali really loved Emily and she was referring to the fact that Emily now is openly out and true to herself. And maybe that's the "I wanna be" part fits in. Ali wants to admit who she really is and be true to herself, but is too scared.

A more realistic scenario is that she meant that Emily always saw her good qualities and was one of the few people that didn't define her as a manipulative bully and pure evil. Emily was aware of Ali's dark side, but she saw Ali's loving and caring side and that's the person Ali wants everyone to see. That  she is human too and cares about people. I mean it's kind of hard to either redeem yourself or try to be a better person if everyone around you see you as evil and think that's all you can be.
