Atta girl, Atwood...

Margaret Atwood is a poet and historian as well as a successful novelist.  Of special interest (and specifically mentioned in the Epilogue) are:
-  the government's regime in Iran in the 1980′s (and now- it hasn’t changed!)
- Romanian policy under President Ceaucescu regarding the birthrate in Romania
-  the influence of the American right-wing Christian community on politics (again, this is just as true now as it was in the 1980′s). 
What I find most interesting about Atwood is how she manipulates real events with her imagined fiction to create a powerful identity for the "others"...no, not these others but this.

So here's what you need to do:
First, check out photographer Wing Young Huie's work( http://www.wingyounghuie.com/ ) and blog( http://know.wingyounghuie.com/ and select one of his pieces to use in your first(!) post.

Then, provide a summary of your selected photograph that includes: 

- The document itself—make sure the author, the date, and  the place of publication are included
- A denotative examination of the text (little picture- what do we see on first examination?)
- A connotative examination of the text (big picture- what do we "discover" by looking deeper?)
Finally, respond to the following: How do Wing Young Huie (in your selected photograph) and Margaret Atwood (in The Handmaid's Tale) present the concept of "othering" through  image, layout/format, language, and/or color? You may compare the two texts/approaches, contrast, or both. 

*You might choose to consider one or more of the following:  stereotypes, popular culture, elections, legislation, public information, the diversity of audiences, use of style and register,  forms of bias, deliberate manipulation of audience, and the selection of text type*

  93. Maybe you can try a new trip, in this virus-ridden time. Why not try Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This game has been well received since its release this year. Create your island with ACNH Bells and go to other players' islands to see their designs through Nook Miles Tickets. You will fall in love with this freely creative, free travel game.
