Original paragraph:
The first time the audience is
introduced to a woman in Timothy’s life, they meet Amy Huguenard. Amy
accompanied Timothy on his thirteenth and final summer in Alaska with the
bears. Amy’s relationship with Timothy is displayed as confusing to the viewer.
One cannot get a true grasp on what is really going on between the two of them.
Amy is described as fearing bears in Timothy’s private journal and in over one
hundred hours of Timothy’s footage she is only pictured two times, the latter
time being extremely close to her and Timothy’s death (48:24). The mystery
surrounding Amy gives the documentary an eerie feeling at many points. The
viewer is forced to assume that Amy died doing what she loved with the man that
she loved.
Edited paragraph:
The
first time the documentary introduces a woman in Timothy’s life, they meet
the shadowy and unknown, Amy Huguenard. For the first time in over twelve
summers spent in Alaska with the bears, Timothy brings a companion along to
accompany him in his filming; he brings Amy. The peculiar relationship between these two characters comes across as confusing to the intrigued viewer. The desire
to understand and obtain a true grasp on what is really going on between the
two of them drives the mystery further. Described as fearful of bears in
Timothy’s private journal, Amy appears only two times in over one hundred hours
of Timothy’s footage, the latter time being extremely close to their death (48:24). The enigma surrounding Amy gives the documentary an
eerie feeling at numerous pivotal points. These unnerving sensations force the
viewer to assume that Amy died in love with the man and his work.
