Gone Girl

          In Gone Girl, there are two main characters, Nick and Amy. The story is told from both of thier points of view and as Nick investigates the sudden dissaparence of Amy, we read excepts from Amy's diary from further back-- leading up to her dissaparence. By telling the story this way, we (the reader) solve the mystery with both the direct clues (Nick's story,) and the internal clues (Amy's diary.) By exploring how Nick copes with his wife's absence, and seeing how Amy felt during this marrige, we see both of the main character's at their best and worst, learning a lot about them.
          NICK: We were introudeced to him as a shy, relatable, innocent person. But as I read on, I notice how he is not who you keep thinking he is/wanting him to be. Nick is cheating on Amy, lying to the poliece, and manipuliting his family. The reader keeps assuming that Nick is innocent, the perfect husband, and the way the story is told, you excuse everything he does by holding onto the character you were first introduced to. I began thinking that there was no way Nick could be a suspect, but now he is high on my list.
          AMY: Amy is introduced in many different ways, her real personality is the actual mystery of the book. She is seen as the bitch, the perfect girl, the mess, the innocent victim, and the not innocent victim. Amy is an enigima and through her diary entries, we have no way of getting any clues about her dissaparence at all. She is infatuated with her love for nick in once instance, and extermley unhappy with her marrige the next.
          There are still many mysteries in my book, and the plot based one is the least important. While the poliece search for clues about Amy going missing, the reader serches for clues about who Amy actually is. While the poleiece search for clues to help Nick, the reader searches for clues about Nick. I am excited to keep reading to solve the many questions I have in Gone Girl.
