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...

Anansi Boys (6 points)

  A fantasy novel to talk about, ok. Anansi Boys has some of the best writing of Neil Gaimen, who also wrote American Gods. I thought that this was the longest novel not in a trilogy series. So where to even start in such a long book and when I mean it is long, it’s that long.  The book just felt alive. It had all the fantastic elements to a fantasy book. I mean magic was a huge part of the book. It was done in a way that felt like a Neil Gaimen's book. I saw the tv show American Gods but never read his books. So to read a book of his was just great. One of the main characters I really liked is Spider, yes his name is Spider. At the same time not really. His realism to the world that is created makes that believable. His lore develops him as a character. Spider is a great example of character development.  I also enjoyed reading about the magical combining in with the realism of elements. For example, a part in the book is when Charlie alters reality, another character in...
