Chauffeur

The Handmaid’s Tale written by Margaret Atwood is a terrifying story indeed, to anyone even with just a mere fondness for equality. A beautiful one in its language. And a powerful one in its existence. Atwood really focuses on identifying the unique aspects of each individual social group that lies in this dystopian society.

describes the party because, compared to Nick’s cottage, Gatsby’s mansion is a whole other dimension to Nick. He describes even the smallest details that an average person would over look, when he's sent the invitation he describes the courier as, “a chauffeur in a uniform of robin blues” (41). Let's be honest no one else in the book would take the time to take note of the color of a mailman's uniform color. Very descriptive…
