Sometimes everyone gets the feeling of a constant rush of uncertainty, anxiety, and tension because of what they think may or may not happen.

Amy Tan’s talk, Where Does Creativity Hide? was interesting. She talks about her process of creativity. There were some elements that I could identify with and others that I found conflicting to my beliefs of creativity. The first thing that I identify with in Tan’s speech was when she said, “…one of the principals of creativity is to have a little childhood trauma”. I too, had traumas growing up as many do. My mother was diagnosed with MS when she was pregnant with me and I had a brother die…

that it is a “promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning briefcase of enthusiasm, thinning hair” (Fitzgerald 135). But whereas the “promise” of the first scene is a promise of “mystery”, thereby indicating uncertainty (Fitzgerald 68), the “promise” in this scene is far more certain: Nick literally lists the promises that his future now holds,…
