Telling Amy's Story Documentary Analysis
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.
I can say I was able to identify with Amy’s

    Story Analysis: From Libby Day

    The story is told from three different POVs: From Libby Day in the present and from Ben and Patty Day in 1985. There’s a fourth narrative near the end that provides a surprising twist. You jump from past to present, slowly piecing together the story as Libby does. Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of multiple perspectives and constant flashbacks, I think that Gillian Flynn has this technique nailed down to a tee. It was a day in the year of 1985 when Ben – Libby’s older brother – allegedly murdered three members of his own family – including his mother, Patty, and two of his younger sisters – in cold blood. Only Libby somehow managed to escape the massacre. It was Libby’s coerced testimony that condemned Ben to a lifelong imprisonment. Now, after…

    Interrogating Chasing Amy

    The "sexual natural attitude" that is reflected through our Western culture differs greatly from that of other cultures. Our sexual natural attitude includes human beings falling into two distinct and complementary categories: male and female. Our culture denotes normality as only when two people of different genders have sexual relations or get married. It is a male dominated society where norms are often based on androcentric beliefs (McGann 2005). Our society labels people as heterosexual or homosexual with many inherent stereotypes that go along with the word "homosexual". An alternative point of view is the "sexual script" theory which states that sexuality is socially learned (Seidman 2003). In the film Chasing Amy, many features of the "sexual natural attitude" are both evident as well as challenged. The film also shows many of the characters to have "sexual scripts" which seem to be based on age, race, and class.…

    Personal Narrative: Ms. Lena Parks

    "We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word admire then means marvel at." This quote by B. F. Skinner shows exactly how I idolize certain people. I admire those who can make me realize who I am, who understand where I stand on and who is not afraid to say what is on their minds. One incredible individual, who I have met recently, changed the way I looked at the world. Ms. Lena Parks has a different air around her that I do not find most in others. I applaud her for the discipline she imposed on herself to reach her goal, for her sense of humor, and for her individuality.…

    Personal Narrative: Awesome Tapes

    On November 20th, I attended Awesome Tapes from Africa at BAM Cafe in Brooklyn, NY. When I first arrived, the DJ, Brian Shimkovitz, hadn’t started his set yet so they were just playing regular music to pass the time. But I was shocked to see so many people had showed up just to see him. This was the first time I’ve heard of him and I was excited to see what he was going to play. As I was waiting for the show to start, I was expecting to see him walk in with guards or as soon as he walked in for everyone to ask for an autograph but I noticed that he was just walking around like he was also waiting for the show to start. He walked past me a couple times before I actually noticed and recognized him. From what I gathered from the BAM Cafe and…

    Amy’s isolation and disconnection from her culture and other characters worsened after Charlie’s death. 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. Amy remembered back to when the news came to her of Charlie’s death. It was two officers at her door, Amy welcomed the officers in and they told her to have a seat. Only one officer spoke and said “on the Bruckner Boulevard Expressway….head on collision…dead on arrival… didn’t suffer too long…nobody was with him, but we found his wallet.” Amy didn’t want to believe it she was saying the officers were lying, but she finally realized that it was reality and that Charlie was dead. Charlie’s death really hurt her deep and worsened her emotionally.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience In Her Trailer

    I had notice this face from a few weeks back when I came in her trailer. She had nothing unusually that she wouldn't have dress on before. Her head was down, and she made her best attempt to seem happy. Something in my heart knew something was wrong, but having fun in her trailer and watching t.v shows that I could not see in my house because of my chores over weigh the little things I noticed.…
