If we do not heed the warnings in Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel the Handmaid’s Tale, we, similar to handmaids will lose ourselves to society’s conveyor belt: go to school, graduate, attend college, graduate once more, raise a family, and then work away the rest of our lives.

Likewise, in …

From the story, I learned that most change is often resented, and when change is pushed, it usually ends negatively.

Poverty has been affecting children in elementary school for many generations. It affects their lives by decreasing their chances at a better life outside of poverty through their education.
