What is the one thing the writer makes you curious about? Why? - Alesiah Ward
Throughout some chapters, the protagonist has flashbacks about a boy named Luke and her daughter that was taken from her. In chapter seven she remembers things like being in a dorm room, Good memories of being a child and being with her mom. She also remembers seeing this image of her daughter holding a ladies hand. Some of her memories or flashbacks are good but some are bad. Another memory is in chapter ten and twelve where she remembers how girls use to wear bathing suits to show skin. I am mostly curious about where her daughter is now. In chapter twelve she thinks about how her she really doesn't have any memories of her daughter and how she thinks that her daughter is dead. She has been brainwashed by “Aunt Lydia” because she says that they should not be attached to things and should let them go. When I think of her daughter that was stolen from her I immediately start to thinking “what if her daughter is becoming a handmaid”?. She has continuous flashbacks about her daughter because that is her own flesh and blood. Most mothers would hate to have their child taken away in such a painful time, so of course she will have the flashbacks. The protagonist also has many flashbacks about how Gilead was before all the rules and childbearing because they were the good days where they were all free. All of the things that I have mentioned deals with her flashbacks because obviously she likes to visit her memories due to her current situations.
