Quote I Took From Todays Reading

An important quote in today reading was, "No, not where we are now but where you love me. " This shows that Amy is either still in love with him, which obviously she isn't, or that she is a different mental state and not all there. After she comes back on her own will her and her husband are surrounded by the press so they are both saying things that people would want to here. She is obviously a, "Crazy Psycho Bitch." As Nick would say. This quote will determine the outcome of the story, either he will love her again or he will try to get away from her somehow.

Description of the Main Character in Detail.

The main character in the story is Nick Dunne. He is a dynamic character with a few different misleading twists. At the start, it seems as if he is a good, true, loyal, loving husband. All of a sudden there is a twist and he is a cruel, twisted, deceiving fool. Physically he is a handsome, young but mature man with a good stature. Emotionally, towards the beginning he was crazy about his wife but then he falls out of love with her. He is on a emotional roller coaster, or a downward spiral in life. He has a young lover and a sweet, smart, beautiful wife. He is caught in between a love triangle and he is unhappy. Personality wise, he is not a bad guy. I believe that he just makes foolish decisions, it is not his fault for  falling out of love with his wife. He is caught in a large amount of hard situations in this story. He is a good person, that lands "In the wrong place at the wrong time."

One Object That Symbolizes the Story

An object that I would choose to symbolize this story is Karma. By Karma I mean payback and revenge about doing the right or wrong thing. The revenge in this story is a little more extreme than it should be. Since Nick cheats on his wife and acts loyal and faithful he  gets what he deserves. He is deceiving to his wife when he lies and tells her, "I was out playing poker with the guys." As soon as Amy finds the note with the number on it the tone of the story portrays that something big is going to happen. Amy is acting recklessly and stupid so the author foreshadows her actions. The Karma represents this story because, so far, it is the main theme of all that has happened. It represents both Nick and Amy, and their actions.

What Does the Dialogue Tell Me About the Characters.

The dialogue in the story is more of a formal verse. Even when Nick and Amy are talking towards the beginning at each other the dialogue is awkward. It is also very boring and complex. Later on in the story when they argue at each other it has very adult language. There is a lot of obscenity and explicit gestures. From what I have heard  and learned from others later on in the story there is more adult language. I like the dialogue sometimes, when they are happy with each other it is funny and makes you think. I like the vocabulary usage and amount of jokes and the dialogue shows how bored and upset the characters are.

Would I Choose the Main Character of the Story to be My Friend?

No, I would not choose the main character of the story to be my friend. Amy is very tricky and hard to follow. She is a 2-faced person and seems like she would go behind peoples backs. Her husband kind of deserves what is coming to him but what she does is majorly wrong. She sets up a whole scandal and framing of him just to get back at him, if I was her friend I would be afraid to make a mistake around her because I would think she would get back at me in a very complex way. In order to be her friend you would have to think before every action  you made. For these reasons I would not want her to accompany me as a friend.

What Will Happen Next?

During today's reading I learned that Amy goes missing. I am going to infer that her husband, Nick, is going to either be framed, or a suspect to her disappearance. There is no supporting evidence or clues that would show me where she has disappeared to or who has taken her. I'm very excited to see what happens next whether I am right or not. I believe that Nick will be taken into custody because the officers seem weary and suspicious of him. This story has a huge amount of loose ends. I am excited to figure out what is going to happen.

What I do/don't like about this story.

There are a few things about this story that I don't understand and don't like. I don't like how there are two different points of view, one of Amy and one of Nick. Also, there are the points of view from different time frames and its confusing. I like the characters and the complexity of the actions they portray. It is a very adult book and I like it. There is a very large amount of loose ends but they will come together as the story goes on.
