There are many stories in which the author
purposely makes the story vague until the end, The

this. Around ten o' clock, June 27 th was a very
vivid day in the lives of the villagers, It was a
beautiful summer day, the wind was slight and the
flowers in full bloom. This was in fact an odd
setting for the events that will take place in the

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

written in 1986), and imagine how could become
society if people do not do anything to arrange

attitude by men towards women in her story, A Jury

far, possibly further. Though the female gender
had come quite a l...
