For the past couple of days, we've been working on our wikis. at first i was very confused on what it was all about, but my groupmates were kind enough to clarify any of the confusion i had with the assignment. we took a closer look at the kind of language Offred uses throughout the chapters and have noticed that she uses a lot of dramatic effects such as fragments and her uses of punctuations to emphasize her point.
also, after reading a couple chapters, getting deeper and deeper into the book, a lot of sexual things happen, or she speaks about a lot of sexual stuff. like with the doctor, i dont recall what page, but i think its on p. 76? i dont have my book, but i'll once i get the chance, i'll update you guys on it. well anyways, Offred i believe was at the doctors and had called her honey, which by the way was against their society's rules. she was very descriptive in telling what happend, i was just a little surprised thats all. well the doctor made a move on her and she was very polite and courtious about it, only because she didnt want to get in trouble from the doctor (a higher ranking than her) when she says she doesnt want him to do anything to her. well i have to start working on my group's wiki presentation for tomorrow, so I'll continue this discussion on the next blog :] kbye!

i see that you also agree that the women in this book are very much subservient to the men in the society. Have you noticed that there are more "higher" roles for men than women. Its like the role of domesticity that we talked about on our wikis since men are out doing the jobs that women can also do, if given the chance. I would like to tell you that you're very funny in making this blog as if you were talking to another peer, which made it very simple for me to understand. Bye Kim!
