The Handmaid's Tale (5 points)

  The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian future as women are subjugated and are slaves in this universe. Many of the women are forced to reproduce children. People who disagree with the government are killed on the spot. When reading the setting and tone, it tells of a society where women are subjugated, like not allowed to read or write. In most dystopias futures, world is full of totalitarianism. An example is the book 1984. As I kept on reading the book by Marget Adwood, I realized the tone is very bleak and desolate. When the United States collapses, Gilead takes over as the government and it shows the dangers of this. The book is also a work of feminism, as it tries to explain what could happen if people are not given rights. The show and the book are very different. While the show takes place in modern day society. In the book, it takes place in the 1980’s. Although the same government and plot happens in the book. Handmaid’s tale has a world where newspapers and the press are ce...

Akata Witch (5 points)

I find the book to be more of a feel-good reading about witches, than one like the tv show American Horror Story season 3. The book is different than other ones. To begin the plot, a twelve-year-old girl named Sunny has amazing athletic abilities but she cannot go outside in the sun. Unbeknownst to her, she is a witch and has powers. Soon she learns magic with other students, like a coven. In most stories that have covens, they are terrifying. However, this is more whimsical than anything else.  Even the cover of the book feels happy and pleasant. It makes the reader feel free of movement in the plot of the story. To further elaborate, the story wanted to show that Sunny is a free spirit. The colors of the cover are to show how Sunny can use her magic. Indefinitely, the book wants to show it has pleasantries, not the horrifying book it should be.  I find even more interesting about the book is it is almost like a detective story as well. In finding a killer. The killer has mag...

Bloodchild (2 points)

  I was stunned when reading this. I was horrified by the events that happened in the book. For example, alien creatures that do not look normal. It felt like the short story was filled with terrifying moments like this one. I also was very conflicted about the themes related to the short story. Almost like I was dealing with the consequences that happened in the book, like how you make choices in an RPG video game. As well as being creeped out that males are impregnated with a baby.  A connection I was able to make with the book Handmaid's Tale. In that book, surrogate reproduction happens a lot because society has diminished in population; Bloodchild shows how an alien species cannot have children of their own. They help from the human species. The elements I was able to connections is with sex roles in the book. The main character has to carry an alien baby. I noticed that the author puts a feminist's role into the work.  In this short story, the author challenges the ...
