memorization of proven classics written by
previous generations. The cont...

Wanted To Show Handmaids Tale
1,324 words
Some critics say that The Handmaids Tale is a pure
Science Fiction with little or no relevance to the
actual society. Margaret Atwood wanted to show a
way of how far contemporary errors lead to.
Actually she took facts from today (the book was
written in 1986), and imagine how could become
society if people do not do anything to arrange
lifes quality. Moving, vivid and terrifying, I
only hope its not prophetic, as Conor Cruise
OBrien, from The Listener. This fear is almost

In many controversial topics around the world,
such as abortion, gun control, legalized drugs,
the death penalty, and cloning (to name a few), we
