THE HANDMAID'S TALE (BLOG #2)
IN THE BOOK HANDMAIDS TALE BY MARGARET ATWOOD, THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK JUST TELLS YOU REALLY THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WOMEN ARE ABLE TO DO AND NOT TO DO LIKE THEY BASICALLY CAN ONLY BE HOUSE WIVES AND WHEN IT COMES TO BEING OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE WOMEN ARE NOT ALOUD TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF GUNS OR WEAPONS IN POSSESSION... THIS BOOK IS NOT THE BOOK FOR ME IT WAS NOT ALL THAT INTERESTING AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE..

It's a hard book to read. These women are basically prisoners in a futuristic world that has suffered through a nuclear war...their job is to repopulate the world by being "breeders" -- that is, by having babies. They have no rights at all. It's a scary idea of what might happen in the future.
