The Handmaid's Tale: Ch. 31-35
As I mentioned in class, your challenge tonight is to predict Offred's fate. Is her increasing bravado going to be her saving grace--or her downfall? Will she make it out of this regime alive? Will she thrive? What is going to happen to Offred??
The key here is to ground your prediction in textual evidence. Last night's reading provides lots of little clues--for both sides. Focus in on some key passages/words that you feel like are deliberately preparing us for the end of this novel.
