    Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale -- raise its
    political questions? And does it raise these
    questions effectively? For example, would you say
    that the novel's "reconstructed" style helps or
    hinders its political agenda? And what about the
    novel's ending?

  • Prof. Braile wrote  On the plagiarism issue, I
    found a few years ago that there were several

    plagiarized papers.
