How the conflicts changed Amy The conflicts in In The After had great impact on Amy. They helped to change her personality, her way of life, and feeling toward her family and people in general. The conflicts changed Amy for the better, and for the worst. The first conflict that changed Amy was the Floraes taking over the world. This changed almost everything about Amy and her life. Amy was lonely. She all alone for the first few months living in The After. She was just there, trying her best to survive and mourning her family and friends. Amy had lost almost everything she had known. Amy had lost her family, her friends, and eventually her house. Amy had given up on her family being alive. She thought they had been eaten by the Floraes. Amy also had to become more independent. She was living by herself, getting her food by herself, and surviving by herself. She only had herself, and after a while, Baby. …show more content…

Amber was another major conflict that changed Amy. Amber was loud. Amy and Baby had found Amber while they were looking for food.

  • Alyce in Karen Cushman’s The Midwife’s Apprentice

    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the book Alyce proves to be a very empathetic and caring young girl. One of the times Alyce shows her empathy, the Midwife was trying to help a woman give birth, but the lady was having some trouble and Jane tried so much that in the end she just gave up to go help someone else she knew would pay her more, deciding to abandon the woman who was in need of help. Alyce decided that it wasn’t fair, and that a lady shouldn’t be left like that when she needed help, “The memory of the proud, frightened, Joan of a moment ago kept her there. And she asked herself, What would the midwife so if she were here? … Alyce took a deep breath and returned to Joan’s side” (59), so she decided to help Joan even though the midwife was too selfish to do so. Alyce also respects the people who don’t respect her, so when the village boys that had recently stopped teasing her were doing something that would have definitely gotten them in trouble if the midwife had seen them, she knew they’d have been in trouble so she went up to the midwife and talked to her to hold her off so the boys could get away. Alyce likes helping people that need help when no one else will help them, for example when she’s found a job at an inn after she’s given up her career as a midwife’s apprentice and a few people ride to the inn asking for help because they claim the lord’s wife is being eaten by a stomach worm but Alyce immediately realizes the lady is pregnant and decides to help her even though she’s a bit uncertain at first because of her recent failure.

  • Analysis Of Mary Louise Adams's Article 'Excerpts From The Trouble With Normal'

    As highlighted by the author, Mary Louise Adams in her article, “Excerpts from The Trouble with Normal”, ‘a norm’ “can be defined as something that is usual, typical or standardized” (Hacking, Adams, 2003). Norms are often already so established that most individuals do not realize how much they have shaped society and the people who live in it. Audrey Lord tells us that being a “White, thin, young, heterosexual, Christian, male” defines the characteristics of being “normal” and “privileged,” in which she calls “the mythical norm” (Perry, 2011). We use our sexuality, race and class as a way of giving ourselves an identity for the world to see. This identity will ultimately allow us to understand our place in the world and give
