IOP Journal 3

I have begun tagging passages for characterization before and after Gilead took over the United States in The Handmaid's Tale. Some of these passages will also count for flashbacks - another literary term I am considering discussing in my IOP. It takes awhile to go back through the book to find passages again. I wish I would have tagged more passages the first time I read this book, but I had no idea what to look for then. NONE at all. I should have talked to Relyea about that. But oh well, that is in the past. Anyways, getting back to the IOP - I will continue tagging passages and then begin to write in my outline of the characterization before the regime. I have already written a quick summary of the Gileadean regime for my intro of my IOP. Hope it works.
