Throughout Amy 's life her father relentlessly monitors her physical appearance with the "intensity of a pimp" (133), he believes that a woman 's physical beauty is her greatest asset.

She was scared that if she told someone that it would seem so real and possibly no one would believe her.

If Logan never got inside of Hannah and Amy’s dreams, Amy would still be misstated and have an undesirable life.…

Ansel did not grow up living in a happy family. His parents were always calling him invidious names, saying he was stupid and annoying. George and Amy, Ansel's parents, were both high school dropouts and had Ansel at a young age, they got married a year after only because they wanted Ansel to be raised with two parents.
