Logan's Abuse In A Family
I predict Amy wouldn’t have told anyone about Herb and that Logan’s dad will find peace with his untimely death. Amy did not want to believe that her own uncle could do this to her. She was scared that if she told someone that it would seem so real and possibly no one would believe her. When Hannah, Logan’s girlfriend, discovered the abuse she told the family and they did not want these things to be true because they didn’t want to think that type of evil was in their family. Amy is only nine years old and possibly did not understand what would have been the best was to deal with her situation. Herb found it easy to use her age and fidelity to her family to manipulate her so she wouldn’t tell. Amy found it hard to actually admit that she was abused, so she thought it best to not tell which was disastrous to her now and her future. If Logan never got inside of Hannah and Amy’s dreams, Amy would still be misstated and have an undesirable life. …show more content…
Logan’s dad took his death the worst out of the family. He did not show any emotion and had it all bottled up inside of him. As the family grieved that Logan was gone his dad just was confused to be sad or upset with the fact he is gone and he took his car in the first place. Logan got one visit and he chose his dad because he was the person to most deny that Herb was abusing Amy. He tried to get through to his dad, but it didn’t work until hours later when he went on a drive to cool down, let his emotions out, and think about what happened. At the end Amy ended up being the key to help Logan’s dad take in that fact that he is dead. Logan’s dad was extremely upset that Herb could sneak around the family and hurt his only daughter. Because Amy never told her family about Herb’s abuse and Logan’s dad never took in his death I predict that everyone will now be at peace with

    In Amy Giles’ novel, Now is Everything, Giles distinctly portrays how domestic abuse can take a toll on a person. I feel that she makes the reader fully aware that abuse of any kind, whether it be emotional or physical, is a substantial issue all over the world. Victims of abuse shouldn’t feel embarrassed or anxious to come forward about it, and that is the painfully clear message that Giles is sending to her readers. From my point of view, for her not having a personal encounter with abuse, Giles unveiled to the audience the actuality of living in a home with an abusive father, and a mother who is not willing to put an end to it.…

    My reaction to the documentary Telling Amy’s Story was not surprised nor shocked at all. I believed I knew what the result would be I was just waiting on the inevitable. This man showed multiple times that if he couldn’t have her no one could so I’m not sure what made her believe that she would be able to just leave her husband in the end. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but I feel she should of just ran when she had the chance from the start of the relationship when he started to show signs of being controlling. This is what surprised me the most Amy met Vincent McGee in her place of employment and within a few months he was making her feel uncomfortable at work and rules were placed on her.…

    Definitions of child maltreatment vary among the literature because the lack of homogeneity in what constitutes child maltreatment differs by country. Though one consistent part of every definition was that child maltreatment is the physical, psychological and sexual abuse, and neglect inflicted by adults towards children (Butchart, Harvey, Mian, Furniss & Kahane, 2006). To further grasp this issue you need identify and understand the definitions of each sub category that makes up child maltreatment: Physical abuse is often difficult to identify as there are many different cultural acceptances, religion. Children may also feel loyalties to parents and siblings, which often prevent the open declaration of the levels of abuse that actually exist (Butchart, Harvey, Mian, Furniss &…

When Amy wondered and groped about Charlie’s death, no one could tell her what had really happened or how he felt or what he was thinking before he died.

    Their thoughts decisions and actions were solely based upon their own personal feelings. They were only trying to save their own lives and almost no one wants to help Kane defeat Frank Miller. Some even fled to disregard the situation even more. Even Pell, the other deputy sheriff was so caught up in jealousy and his career that instead of helping Kane he picked a fight with Kane, gave up his gun and badge and left Kane to deal with saving the town alone. Helen Ramirez was an interesting character because she is now with Pell despite having past relationships with Kane and Frank Miller. She sees no benefit in staying in the town when her past and present lovers meet again. She focuses on what could possibly benefit her the most without thinking about what is her moral duty. Amy's morality was also questionable according to Kant's theory. She was willing to go against any morality in order to avoid both her and her husband facing any violence. Instead of showing courage and loyalty to her new husband, she decides to lean on her religious belief and leave her husband to deal with problems by himself. It was not until the end when she decided to have his back and expressed her loyalty and support. Her decisions were based on her personal feelings and her religious backgrouind and not by her natural duty or goodwill. So, from a Kantian view, Amy is not acting in an ethical…
