Look through the entire novel quickly but with enough attention to the page to find passages that have struck you as you’ve read.
Try to find the following and note them briefly by chapter and page number in your journal:
- Two moments where an important value or idea from a world view you’re familiar with (e.g. democracy, Christianity, feminism, minimalism) was distorted or used to dystopian ends
- Two of the most horrifying mundane details from life in Gilead
- Two moments where you found yourself disagreeing with Offred or questioning her decisions/opinions
- Two or more neologisms that the Republic of Gilead has created
- Two things you found frighteningly familiar
- Two things that seemed unrealistic or hard to believe
- Two moments or scenes where you particularly sympathized with Offred
