Our theme park is based off the novel The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The book is about the republic of Gilead and their dangerously low reproduction rates. The handmaids are the only women that are able to have children for the elite couples. For my role I was given the responsibility of the character sketches. To prepare for my role i made sure that I spent more time focusing on the behaviors of the characters throughout the novel and when we completed the novel, I read the character analysis of my three selected characters, Offred, Aunt Lydia, and Nick. Then i went back and revised the book to find key quotes to support my descriptions and highlighted them with sticky notes. When we completed the project i feel that i gained a deeper understanding to the meaning of the novel and Margaret Atwood’s reasoning for writing it. Though trying to finish it in time was a bit stressful, doing this project was very informative about how Margaret Atwood came to writing this book and the journey along with it. It also gave me the opportunity to expand on my analyzing skills for English Literature.
