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

It is a pleasure to nominate Dave Giles for the "Most Outstanding Person" award. He is a former alumni of Carl Sandburg College. My first impression of Dave came in 2012 when he gave hands-down the best speech on the importance of education that I had ever heard. He truly enjoys spending his time helping the community’s youth. He has also continued to live up to that impression of being a passionate man who is optimistic‚ supporting‚ and is as committed to children as he is to bettering our society

In Amy Giles’ novel‚ Now is Everything‚ the vocabulary that she uses is very informal‚ and casual. Giles uses an untold amount of antecedents to tell Hadley’s fictional story. The climax is not fully discovered until nearly the end‚ because the novel was written in a then and now format. Descriptive imagery‚ similes‚ and most of all‚ anecdotes‚ are all factors of how the author communicates her diction. A remarkable example of how Giles uses precise terminology is when Miles finds Charlie’s jacket
