Sometimes I envy the handmaidens. They get to have sex all the time. Although, I think that it might be a little embarrassing having to have sex whilst laying on top of a wife. I think using women just for children, is very dig-rating to them. I remember before, women were treated with respect, and they were equal to men, and I had a family. I miss the old times. I miss Elizabeth.

Assignment #2 Due April 2
Today was another day for the ceremony. Offred stood there so beautifully, her red dress may not be her color, but it looks as it always does, ravishing. As we all silently pray I just look at her feet. They are not small, but not big either, they're more square than Elizabeth's. As the commander, Serena Joy, and Offred walk to the room, I close my eyes and imagine. I imagine myself as the commander, I am the one who gets to have sex with Offred. The only part I don't like about this scene is Serena Joy. Maybe if Offred was my wife, and we didn't have a handmaiden. Maybe if Elizabeth was still alive.

I really don't know why you envy the handmaids. I just hate them. They have the worst job ever and i just think its disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you thinking? She is a handmaid and you know what a handmaid's job in this society is! I do agree that women were treated with more respect before. We were equal to men, but everything has changed now.
ReplyDeletei agree im very jelous too its so hard to watch them do it and not do anything about it
ReplyDeleteI totally feel you.. that's how I feel
ReplyDeleteWish you were me?
ReplyDeleteThis is... more than a little disturbing, actually. If money was still used, your pay would be docked for such ungodly thoughts.
