Woman on the Edge of Time by MARGE PIERCY
The Handmaid?s Tale by Margaret Atwood.


Identify a significant aspect of these two novels (plot, characterization, history, narrative structure, power structures, limitations, roles, boundaries, goals, fears?) and explore it in each text. with a clear thesis, a solid introduction and conclusion, effective paragraphing and transitions, and clear explanations and connections.

the essay should be more than a catalog, more than a listing of how X, Y, and Z play out in each novel. Why is it significant that both of these novels contain and explore and represent this element? What do they suggest, taken together, about the assumptions of their authors, or about the commentaries on our future (or present) these authors may have intended? What do they suggest about the nature of power, gender, politics, or other structures?

Go beyond facts to ideas. They both explore X, and this is why that?s interesting. Your essay should have a clearly stated thesis, and that thesis should go beyond stating that both novels contain X. Why is it important that they both contain X, whether they represent it similarly or differently? What do these representations suggest about X, about dystopian fiction, about the directions in which our society might be going? Someone reading your essay should feel that your insights have added to his or her understanding of the novels, of their significance, and of the specific topic (X) you?ve chosen to explore.

You can refer to our present, to our recent history or current state, as a way of exploring your topic, but the focus should be on the novels and their representations of possibilities.
