Inspiration
I encountered the Amish many years ago while on vacation. I found their beliefs, simplicity, and way of life interesting, so I started studying them. I researched their society for about 10 years before I realized, I had characters popping up in my head, wanting to live this perfect conflict. I love to watch people react to those around them. The Amish have a way of speaking without words, as most cultures do. However, the Amish seem to be an island unto themselves. Capturing the essence of Nick’s Amish persona was like viewing a deaf person suddenly thrown into a world of sound, questioning constantly where the sound came from, what it is, and what it means to him and the people around him. On the other hand, a hearer from their youth, knows what sound is. They don’t question it. Nick’s confusion in his English world is like the deaf person who can now hear.
