Decisions, decisions. They range from the tiny (Should I have tuna or turkey for lunch?) to the immense (Should I accept that scholarship or follow my dreams and become a cowboy?) If you could go back in time and change one decision you’ve made, what would it be
and why? Slide4

Epigraphs
The first epigraph Atwood chose to include in
The Handmaid’s Tale
comes from Genesis 30:1-3. Consider the significance of the passage (a.k.a. explain the social implications of what the passage talks about). Then make a prediction about what relevance that passage might have in
The Handmaid’s Tale.
The second epigraph Atwood includes is from Jonathan Swift’s satire,
A Modest Proposal.
Any thoughts about why??????
Decipher the third epigraph to the best of your ability. What possible meanings could it have? Discuss two or more.Slide6
