Amanda was kind of a strange woman. When Jim came over, I know she was just trying to impress him and show that Laura came from a lovely family, etc. but she seemed kind of fake. Almost to the point where she was acting ditzy. It also bugged me a little bit, how she tried to force her children to do things they didn't want to do. Though she did mean well, and I admire her perseverance. She had tried to get Laura out of her shell and out of her comfort zone, even though none of her efforts availed until Jim came over. Amanda wanted so much for her daughter to feel more included, Laura ended up isolating herself because it was overwhelming. But Jim, instead of forcing her into public settings, just told her she was pretty, and that had much more of an effect. It seemed like Amanda could be a bit oblivious to what was going on, especially in Laura's case.
What do you think of her, Julia?
