This book Amy Carmichael was so interesting for me to read. I chose to read this book because I found out some very intriguing information about Amy and what drove her to be the loving, and kindhearted woman that the people of India saw. I was also curious to read one of Kathleen White’s books because I had heard that her book were very detailed and fun to read. Amy was so self-less and as I said before loving, Amy was able to take care of her siblings without bickering. Amy was also able to get along with her parents fairly well because of her tranquil and easygoing personality.

Nicole triumphed a landmark discrimination in 2014, victoriously suing the Orono school district in Maine for not allowing her to use the girls restroom.

Amy Tan, in ?Mother Tongue,? Does an excellent job at fully explaining her self through many different ways. It?s not hard to see the compassion and love she has for her mother and for her work. I do feel that her mother could have improved the situation of parents and children switching rolls, but she did the best she could, especially given the circumstances she was under. All in all, Amy just really wanted to be respected by her critics and given the chance to prove who she is. Her time came, and she successfully accomplished her goals. The only person who really means something to her is her mother, and her mother?s reaction to her first finished work will always stay with her, ?so easy to read? (39).

Some of those conflicts are having to adapt to living in the After, dealing with the Floraes, how more than likely all her loved ones are dead, keeping herself and Baby alive, etc. These conflicts slowly shape her from how she is at the beginning of the book to the end of the book, and show the ranges of reactions she has to these situations, which can vary from apathetic and stoic to emotional and panicked.
Throughout her entire life Amy, the main character in Gone Girl’s movie adaptation, was faced with unobtainable standards that were impossible to reach. This is enough to drive even the strongest of people mad. Due to her parents novel of “Amazing Amy”, she was forced to play the part of the cool girl, and never truly was able to express herself throughout her life.

The article starts of on Amy reflecting on how for years the way she approached work was to be a nice thoughtful person to everyone, even when it wasn't necessary. She states how she would always say please and thank you and express concern for other peoples problems, in their work life or in their personal life. She very clearly stated that she was not a boss, but had a mid level position in the company, and implied she never understood why she was stuck there and had not moved up in rank in the company.
Starting out as just a girl who performed in small jazz clubs, that quickly changed. She never saw her self as “famous” and quite frankly didn't ever really understand what that meant. Anytime someone said, “Amy how does it feel to be famous” her response would be “What does that even mean?”. Making music was something special to her, something she used as an outlet. With having depression, it was a way to express her feelings and escape the dark feelings and thoughts that came with depression. Fame was never a necessity to her, but its exactly what she received. Through the film she makes it apparent even when the spotlight was on her, thats exactly what she didn't want- she couldn't handle it. Amy had media attention from all over the world due to her exceptional talent in Jazz music. As Amy got more famous you see people in her life use the fame to their advantage. Her father, was constantly welcoming press and photographers to private events even when she was trying to stay out of media and on the road to recovery.
