blog 7 the last post

okay, so today we had a in class essay and it was something that i had been thinking about while reading the book. I see that the highest authoritative person is the commander, then comes the eye, guardian, aunts, wives, handmaids and the ecowives. In that order, i think it is the order of who in the society can read and who can not. i feel as though, women are put far at the bottom. Later on in the book, i know that these women obtain really scary qualities like ofglen kicking a man in the head, or offred wanting sex all the time from nick without getting pregnant. The women in this society gossip a lot and everyone apparently knows everything. rumors spread quickly and people seem to think the worse of others. i see that too in our society where people always talk about others behind their backs and how they spread lies and secrets among others.
