Serena's garden-
Quote "I go out by the back door, into the garden, which is large and tidy: a lawn in the middle, a willow, weeping catkins; around the edges, the flower borders, in which the daffodils are now fading and the tulips are opening their cups, spilling out color" (Atwood 16).
-I really love how descriptive this quote is.
-This quote appeals to the sense of sight.
-It sets a mood of serenity and beauty, making the reader feel calm and at peace like Offred feels.
-This ultimately creates a better understanding of Offred and how she feels about the life she is living.
-She can see peace in other things around her, such as this garden, while she also longs for it.

I love how descriptive it is, too! I especially love the recurring images of the tulip throughout this book. They're my favorite flower so I can vividly picture what Atwood is illustrating.
