Amazing Amy Quotes

Amy wants Nick to know that she would like at least the comfort of her own bed in a new place. Instead of saying this, however, she is passive aggressive and tells him to leave it because he already promised the bed to one of his friends. This quote is in one of Amy’s diary entries, which is later revealed as an unreliable source. So we do not know for sure if Nick is being mean to her, like Amy makes it seem, or if he is genuinely asking her what she wants to do.

Edgar Allen Poe is an American short story writer,poet and literary critic.His famous short stories are based on not only horrific events,but also on psychological distortations as in "The Cask of Amontillado".In his literary critic on short story writing style,he says a short story should turn around a central event and all the other things must have use for that main point.In this short story,his main point is the result of obsession of revenge with impunity and all the other actions serve for the protagonist's punishment against provoking.Poe uses the elements of symbolism generously and for this purpose,he benefits from mythology.He uses Dionysos,the god of wine,to define Montresor's inner self.He uses the feast for Dionysos,the time

The discussion immediately preceding the characterization is most pressing on an interpretation of this self-characterization, as it provides a clear example of Nick's dishonesty just moments before he claims to be perfectly honest. Nick says of Jordan Baker, "Her grey sun-strained eyes stared straight ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment I thought I loved her" (63). But, however, before he could actively pursue Miss Baker, he acknowledges, there was one little matter he had to deal with:

Nick is an unreliable narrator. He seems, from the beginning, to be level headed and wholly observant. However, he blacks out when he gets drunk, and we lose time. Also, he is deeply embedded and prejudices us against Tom and for Gatsby.

Nick is a bumbling oversharer, tripping over his own words and jumping to absurd conclusions. For example, when he sees Amy digging a whole in the yard, he thinks she is burying her boyfriend's body; because the film is so grounded in his perspective, the film almost seems to have a tinge of horror to it in these opening scenes rather than romantic comedy. The zany Amy adds a quirky element of dark comedy—further, the running joke she creates cleverly becomes essential to the film's climax and resolution. Dani's smart sharpness is well portrayed and plays well off of Nick's blundering. Nick's friends Andy and Jules are refreshingly frank, their opinions about Nick's behaviors and pitfalls providing the film with a clever

Amy enters relationships with unrealistic expectations, and to keep up the appearance of these standards, she cons her friends, boyfriends, and husband into appearing abusive or insane (Flynn 386). Amy’s addictions to control and playing the role of the victim allow her to continue manipulating the truth. She graduates from claiming she was stalked, to insisting she was raped, until finally pretending she was murdered by her husband, Nick (Flynn 387). Unlike with the obsessions of Gatsby and Dick, Amy’s obsession stems not only from her failure to keep of the façade of a perfect relationship, but also her inner need to be seen as innocent. All three characters are blinded by their compulsions to hide the truths of their lives and put on a front of perfection. The impossibility to give up perfection leads to the end of rationality and an unyielding determination to uphold the façade. A dreamer is bound to be disappointed, but will continue to manipulate his or her reality, hoping in vain that excessiveness will allow the dreamer to overcome their failures. Trying to manipulate reality for a veneer of perfection leads to the development of an addiction to the perfection, causing indulgences and irrational decisions that continue to destroy the lives of the

She is just nosy and wants to get him involved with her friends. Nick assures her this is not true but she is not sure because she did hear it from distant relatives of Nick’s.

     We next see Nick and his reactions to relationships. In “The End of Something” Nick breaks up with his girlfriend Marjorie. He expresses to her that he is bored with his life and that they cannot stay together. This shows that due to Nick’s past, he is not ready for relationships with women. He does not want to live his life in the traditional manner that Marjorie expects him to. Due to his lack of development, he cannot communicate

After reading the book, I ponder that Nick forfeits a respect to her as a adult’s perspective and I pity her whenever he shows such an attitude.

Nick says "Though I was curious to see her I had no desire to meet her – but I did. I went to New York on the train one afternoon and when we stopped by the ashheaps he jumped to his feet and, taking hold of my elbow, literally forced me out of the car," (Fitzgerald 24). Nick is making it sound as if he is being forced to meet Tom's mistress, though he has already agreed to meet her by getting on the train in the first place. Nick is so caught up with the excitement of it all, that he looks past how unethical the situation is. He chooses to not see anything wrong with meeting the woman Tom is having an affair with, because it is not as though he is the one having an affair; he is just a bystander. What he doesn't understand is that he is being just as dishonest as Tom is, because he doesn't saying anything. In his own eyes, Nick considers himself "one of the few honest people that [he has] ever known," (Fitzgerald 59). But Nick doesn't realize that being honest is not only, not telling a lie, but it is also telling the truth even when one's not being asked to tell the truth.

Amy, Amy, Amy.” This is a huge example of the importance of family in The Passage. Wolgast is thinking of Amy as his daughter now, because that is what she has become to him. Family is not always connected by blood, and in this case, Wolgast and Amy are even closer. Wolgast is thinking of Amy, who has been the only positive thing in his life, as a way to be calm as he reaches what he knows is

Everyone was against Nick. They all thought he did it. Except for two of his closest friends, Alexis and Ruby. Ruby never believed Nick was capable of such a crime. She knew about his obsession with violence and him owning several knives, but she still doubted the police. In the book, she is the one who calls Nick’s mom and tells her to get him a lawyer. She tells her she thinks the police are interviewing him a suspect. Ruby even help Nick run from the police when they show up to his house to arrest him. She takes him to a mall in a different town, gets him different clothes, and she even buys him a burner phone.

The poem titled Sea Rose by Hilda Doolittle tells about a rose, but not just a rose like any other. The poem instantly begins by going against the common connotation of a rose, the reader is given this passage “Rose, harsh rose,” (line 1). When the thought of a rose comes to mind the last word used to describe the soft petals and beautiful color would be harsh. H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) wants us to think about this rose as not an ordinary or normal rose but to see it as something more or something less. She goes on to say, “marred and with stint of petals” (line 2). To mar something is to disfigure or impair the quality/appearance of something, in this case a rose. Stint means to have an ungenerous amount; by this line we can understand that H.D. has begun to take a rose something commonly associated with beauty and love and twist into a disfigured and battered depiction of what it once was. The rest of the stanza goes on to say, “meagre flower, thin, sparse of leaf,”. A rose is meant to be a strong symbol of love and beauty, yet the depiction of the rose H.D. is giving the reader goes against the preconceived notions of what a rose should be. H.D.’s language and perception of the rose challenges to the reader to think of the rose as something more.

As a main character we may get a different impression of Nick since we are now analysing his personality and how he interacts with the other characters in the story. We read numerous pronouns in the first chapter, ‘I’, suggesting that he is self-indulgent and pompous. For instance, once at Gatsby’s party, Nick only kisses Jordan Baker because he ‘had no girl’, conveying he only kissed her because there was no one else there. This makes Nick seem selfish and arrogant as he is only thinking of himself. To the reader, we

A major theme in the novel Gone Girl is disenchanted marriage. Amy and Nick both chose to grow apart with manipulation but do not physically stay away from each other in the end. When Amy went missing, that was the first clue something was not right with her and Nick. When Nick came home from work he did not know where Amy was so he searched for her and could not find her. In the novel Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn Nick says “She wasn’t on the water, she wasn’t in the house.
