Amy Shrumer Role Model
Amy Schrumer is your typical girl of the 21st century. She loves her gadgets and always active on social media. Tomorrow is their family reunion. She will do everything she can to avoid her family and just live in her room during that day. She doesn’t like to socialize with people, but online, she is a very outgoing person.
During the reunion, she was sat in her bed, scrolling through her Facebook news feed. Her mom comes knocking at the door and yelled, “Amy! Come on outside, it’s time to eat!” As soon as her mom’s voice left the door, she grumbled and grabbed her decent clothes and changed. She was still in her pajamas and she didn’t want to look like a lazy person in front of her family.
At the dining table, everyone was bustling around.

    Both face-to-face interaction and social networking sites (including Myspace, Twitter, and Facebook) are forms of staying in contact with friends and family. While Nora from Turkle’s “Alone together” communicates her engagement and wedding date via email to her closest friends and family, she could have easily announced it face-to-face, at a party or through a Facebook event. While there are many ways of communicating information, the authenticity of these interactions as well as its importance is up for debate. For Turkle, face-to-face interaction is to social networking as the tortoise is to the robot: some can be moved by authenticity of the tortoise (face-to-face interaction) while others may find “a shame to bring the turtle all this way from its island home in the Pacific...[when] they could have used a robot.”(Turkle, 265) To be authentic is to be “accurate in representation of the facts; trustworthy; reliable”. It is an attribute that according to Turkle can only be found in face-to-face interactions. In calling social networks "a deliberate performance that can be made to seem spontaneous,” she adds another dimension to the definition for authenticity: spontaneity. Turkle finds that face-to-face interactions is marked by spontaneity, allowing you “to be upset in front of someone else” as opposed to giving you the time to compose your thoughts and thus hide your true feelings. (Turkle, 264) Ironically, Turkle’s notion of authenticity is more readily apparent in social networking than in face-to-face interaction; by giving control and fostering transparency, social networking builds more authentic relationships and diminishes the need for face-to-face interaction.…

    That’s why she differs so much from the rest of the people around. They’ve not had enough time to experience life the way that she has, and learn the lessons she has. Amy recalls being scared of Widow Glendower as a little girl. She remembers her father saying ““That old woman has helped many another person when they wasn’t no one else to doctor them and now some of them same people call her a witch” (68). Her father knew she was a kind woman with wisdom people didn’t comprehend.…

    This can be seen when Matthew is expressively explaining to Amy as to why he thinks her life isn’t great. As one of his points, he argues, “You don’t have any real friends because no one acts like themselves around you. You’re always with an adult,” (McGovern, 22). This is significant because Matthew shows that his outside inferences make him believe Amy is unable to make friends since cerebral palsy requires her to always have an aide. Due to this necessity, Amy is unable to share her interests and feelings with anyone, and isn’t able to fulfil her dream of having solid friendships in her life. To add onto that, a scarcity of social life is also evident when Amy is being told by her parents that she is not allowed living in a regular college residence. Amy, infuriated, asks her mother (in her computer-generated voice), “‘SO I HAVE TO LIVE IN THE INFIRMARY?’ ‘Of course not. You won’t be in the infirmary. You’ll be next door,’” (McGovern, 259). Even though Amy knows her capabilities, her mother assumes that she is not able to live on her own. What she doesn’t know is that because of moving Amy, she is limiting Amy’s sociability with everyone else at the school that lives together. Amy is in fact a very friendly and talkative person, despite the obstacle of using a voice computer machine to speak. But due to her disability and the problems connected with it, she suffers…

    Logan's Abuse In A Family

    • 385 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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.…

    Angela is a teenage girl who strongly dislikes school and is trying to find her true self, by trying out new things and acting how she never used to. She is pretty selfish because, she dyes her hair red on her own. Also, she brings her new friends, Rayanne and Ricky, to her house without telling her mother about them. Furthermore, Angela decides to quit yearbook suddenly, and leaves the class room on her own convenience. These acts also show that she is a quite unrestrained girl. Also, Angela goes to a night time party that her mother does not agree to. Angela seems to be a negative girl at the beginning because she expressed how she hates school as “battle field for heart” and is like a “prison movie” which does not show anything positive. When she narrates her feelings about her mother, she puts out negative thoughts, such as, “I can’t even look at my mother without even wanting to stab her repeatedly.” She is a delinquent teenager considering the inappropriate clothing she wore, the night when Rayanne invited her to go out. The act of Angela trying out new things…

    In todays society it seems as if everybody is connected to social media somehow, especially us college students and young adults. It’s a way for us to connect with friends far away or even nearby. The thing is, social media is destroying young adults mentally and physically because it’s disconnecting them from the physical world. Texting, emailing, tweeting, and facebooking have become the preferred forms of communication for many young adults in the past 10 years and shows no signs of slowing down. We’re now in a society where interacting online has become the social norm. You’re probably more likely to speak to friends and family through electronic devices…
