drug, a repetitious teaching, a strict abusive punishment, or a few of
these combined? Atwood's text confuses me, as it jumps back and
forth from remembering the past and trying to forget it. Then fitting
into the present, yet looking forward to a better future as the past
they remember use to be before the war began. Before this crazy
mandated mind control society took over.
I plan to research different types of mind control to see how
they are administered and the effects of them. Referencing the long
term and short term effects and duration of them. To see if people
can really be made to forget their past lives or just suppress it be-
cause it is forbidden.
I chose this mind control topic to help me better understand
Atwood's writings about a world controlled by this. How the people
are like pawns in a world they have their jobs and duties and yet do
not have freedom of choice anymore. Yet down deep inside most of
them the past ways are not forgotten just suppressed for a time.
These suppressed memories rear up from time to time and are un-
acceptable. This is why that personally I believe mind control really
down deep inside does not work at all on people.
