Everything Up To Chapter 17

Really my first thought about what I've just read is, ummm... After getting past ummm, I finnally know the main characters name which is Offred. Then after getting past her name, I realize how much this book infuriates me! One of Mr.Coltrane's questions on Moodle was about the names of the handmaid's. Two other handmaids have the names of: Ofwarren and Ofglen. I decided I'd search the names to see if the have any relation to each other, other than that they all start with "Of". When I searched each name google would divided the name into two words, so Offred would become "of Fred" , Ofwarren would become "of warren", and Ofglen would become "of glen". Then I began to realize something, in the Republic of Gilead nobody has their real name, they all have names that are given to them. The handmaid's do not get real names! Other characters like the Martha's get names like Rita and Cora. The handmaids get names that start with of, and of signifies the property of someone.
