Transformational Books
The Handmaidens Tale is a transformational book for me. It shows how quickly the government could become something that controls people’s personal lives, including how they reproduce. The government in The Handmaiden’s Tale is so controlling that they even change the main characters name to Offred. Offred means “Of Fred”, the man of the household Offred is a slave in.This book is transformational because it made me realize that this could possibly happen in the future. It’s scary but I think it’s good that I read it because it made me think about the future differently.
