How Did the Conflict Change Amy from the Beginning to End “In The After” is an action book and a thinking book. This book is mostly action, but some things will make you think about what just happened. The book is about a girl who is named Amy. Amy is just a regular girl and then an alien invasion shows up out of nowhere. Amy has to survive the invasion, but there is something surprising when you read the book. Amy in the beginning of the book has been like the other girls goes to school, likes to read, plays, like girls do. Amy did not know what was going to come to her later in the book. Amy was watching some T.V. when she came upon the News and saw that there were aliens invading Earth. Amy was scared to death when she heard that. Amy
was weak and had thought that she wasn’t going to survive this. Amy in the middle of the book Amy has learned some things about the aliens. Amy thinks that her parents are dead, but later in the book she will find out that her mom is alive and her dad died. Amy has found a baby in a supermarket a few blocks away from her house. The baby was named baby by Amy (which is a really creative name). Baby is really quite and has a scar on her hand, which makes you wonder where did it come from. At the end of the book Amy has faced a lot of stuff, good and bad, but mostly bad. Amy has found her mother in this place called New Hope. Dr. Reynolds a person she had met in New Hope is giving Amy medication to try to remember stuff that she is having a hard time remembering. The people who run New Hope has decided to kick out Amy and force baby to stay. Amy was devastated and walked on to find this other place called Fort Black. This book has been really good it is entertaining and interesting. Some of the parts of this book were confusing, but you’ll get it when you read later on. In conclusion the conflict changed Amy so much in this book. Amy used to be very unaware of survival, weak and scared. In the end Amy has found out how to survive, she is strong, brave, and etc.
At the beginning of the story, Amy is a gangly and awkward pre-teen, not caring what others think, playing in mud, and painting on her skin with the blue clay from the creek. As summer comes to an end, Amy stops dressing in her grungy t-shirts and cut off jean shorts, and more like her popular preppy friends at school, as it is more important to her that she wears what her friends wear, rather than what she likes to wear. At school, all of her friends’ names end with an “i”, so hers changes to
There are many times in which a reader will interpret a piece of literature in a way that was completely unintended by the author. In her article, “In the Canon, for All the Wrong Reasons”, Amy Tan discusses people telling her the meaning behind her own stories, her experiences with criticism, and how this has affected her approach to writing moving forward. While this may seem ironic, considering the topic, I have my own interpretations of this article. Firstly, Amy Tan addresses how people will often tell her what her own work means and the symbolism in her writing.
The author demonstrates a personal example of how communication became a barrier because of the way Tan had to assist when her mother would speak. Tan would often have to relay the meaning of her mother’s message, because her mother’s “broken English” was difficult for others to comprehend. When Amy was younger, she remembers having to act as her mother on the phone, so that people on the other end would treat her mother with the respect she deserved. On one occasion, when her mother went to the doctor to get her CAT scan results on a benign brain tumor, her mother claimed that “the hospital did not apologize when they said they had lost the CAT scan and she had come for nothing” (Tan, 544 ). It was not until Tan had talked to the doctor that the medical staff seemed to care about any of her mother’s complications. Tan seems to come to the conclusion that a language barrier affects both sides. Not only does it affect Tan, but it also appears to affect the people around her. For instance, this happens when Tan changes her major from the stereotypical “Asian’s become doctors” to an English teacher. She eventually learns to write fiction and other writings that she was constantly told she would never be successful at.
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).
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.
Then, the authors switch to the past story of Bishop family in Braintree, along with tragic death of Amy 'sibling, Seth. The structure of this essay help readers better understand the psychological development of a young girls Amy Bishop, and the external influence has created an Amy Bishop today. After the death of Seth, Keefer mentioned about the lack of mental therapy, counseling or absent of Psychiatric evaluation, and most important, the over protection of Judy, Amy’s mother, to avoid her child from being in jail. Amy did not receive enough mentally help, and a heavy psychological shadow has created a mental defect later in her life. "Amy continued to eat meals in the kitchen where her brother had die, and to walk past his bedroom with old woodworking project bore the chiseled letters S-E-T-H.” This quote is very important, because imagine if you were Amy, and living in an environment that is always reminiscent of the worst memories! It will ruin anyone's soul. In later investigate, Amy said that she felt stress, hallucinations, and "hear the voice" off and on, but her family did not aware of such changes. This detail is similar with other mass shooting in the United States, the lack of sophistication to recognize the "walking bomb." The purpose of Keefer's essay is to look at the past of a mass shooter, we can understand their motives, and

The book Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis is about a young boy named Wyatt, who chooses to change his sexuality to a female who later became known by the name Nicole. Nicole triumphed a landmark discrimination in 2014, victoriously suing the Orono school district in Maine for not allowing her to use the girls restroom. Although, she sued the school there is a bigger movement in this book that happens centrally. How do you think people that are transgender and not transgender feel about the book? The book was made to support Transgenders whether or not there was a negativity in the book that is how all readers felt while reading this book. People reacted very differently to the different sexuality that the people prefer to be. People in this world need to live with an open mind and not so much negativity. Hurting, bullying, name calling, suicide, is not going to prevent transformations from male or females in the world. People are meant to have their own opinions and live their lives as they wish to or not worry about not trying to please the world or anybody else. For example, in 1965 two identical twin boys were born with penis complications which had to be treated with surgery, but the doctor had a mishap and accidentally castrated the new born .

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. Her boyfriend, Blake had an assumption of her taking care of him once he knew she was well off. Amy’s character through this continued to remain humble, until the drugs took over her entire body causing her to lash out to press, her father, and even her
