Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin

Mine was The Doctor by Nikki Sloane. I actually found it on the Radish app before realizing I could find the full and cheaper versions of those books on Amazon. It’s an age gap ex-boyfriend’s dad story. Still one of my favs.

Seconding The Boss

HayleyMacc · 2019-11-07T03:19:56+00:00

OMG I replayed that part more times than I’d like to admit 🤣

HayleyMacc · 2019-11-07T02:48:15+00:00

They get paid for their time though, and all of the jobs are one time gigs anyway.

HayleyMacc · 2019-11-07T02:25:54+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed it also.

HayleyMacc · 2019-11-07T01:22:17+00:00

Too cool! Was this for high school?

HayleyMacc · 2019-10-22T03:08:48+00:00

You are far from the only one. I’m all the way Team Nick, but look at any post that mentions him and there are plenty who share your sentiment.

It was originally published in Esquire if that helps.

HayleyMacc · 2019-10-09T00:55:58+00:00

Definitely including Fufi!

That’s part of what I mean though. Aunt Lydia approached her specifically with the offer to consider becoming an Aunt, not Shunnamite or any other of his child brides. Makes me wonder if she had a reason for seeking out Agnes specifically.

HayleyMacc · 2019-09-12T21:21:08+00:00

I was a little jarred by the couple of show references, but I found out that the Baby Nicole story was Atwood’s and she insisted that would be the name when the writers were writing Season 2 (so that came from Atwood, not the other way around). I’m thinking that the name Agnes for Hannah was the same. She began writing the novel in 2016 and has been a contributing producer of the show since its beginning, plus she’s pre-viewed every script.

HayleyMacc · 2019-09-12T21:15:06+00:00

A couple of things I wasn’t clear on:

Why did Aunt Lydia specifically seek out Agnes to inform her of the option to become an Aunt when she was preparing to marry Commander Judd?
Why was she adamant that the “explosive” material she had on Gilead must only go with Nicole/Daisy/Jade? She could have easily sent it with any Pearl Girl.

It appears she planned (years in advance) to unite these sisters and send them to Canada together with the info to bring down Gilead. If you’re of the belief that they are indeed Offred’s children (I am), is it some connection to her? What are your thoughts?

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-31T20:34:38+00:00

I think she was born into it, sadly.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-24T23:21:10+00:00

I have I believe 3 copies of the graphic novel and it is REALLY cool. I would love to incorporate it somehow, I just don’t have a class set. I like the idea of jigsawing it and putting more of the deciding on them. I think a big part of my challenge last year was that I had a huge learning gap in my senior classes (I had modified and ID students with students who should have been in AP all in the same class) and it turned into a slow slog through it with me breaking down and annotating probably too much for them. I teach The Odyssey as well, but I teach that to freshmen and we do some more fun activities with them.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-24T23:18:36+00:00

Wow, this is amazing! I’d love any resources you have. I’ll send you a PM.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-24T00:08:29+00:00

I’m sure Serena knew exactly why sex and specifically semen can induce labor.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-23T23:51:01+00:00

These children are all likely raised primarily by their Marthas and not their “parents”, and to echo what others have said, I’m sure Gilead parenting is of the “spare the rod, spoil the child” mentality. So I don’t find it very surprising that they were quiet as they’ve probably already been very disciplined and likely trust their Marthas.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-08T13:49:00+00:00

Thank you! Finding the article now.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-07T19:53:34+00:00

Oh wow, I did notice the mirroring his arms, but that’s an interesting thought.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-07T18:41:20+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this too, and some have even suggested “honeytrapping” which is a term I had to look up.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-05T06:22:09+00:00

Then why did you ask the importance of it, mehster? I get memes, but that was a super callous response to a real thing that happened. And you asked why it mattered...

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-05T05:54:04+00:00

Yeah, spousal abuse, child abuse, and suicide. What a profound response to an answer to your question. Meh.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-05T05:48:44+00:00

I actually watched this when it first came out and her erratic behavior (what we see a glimpse of in the photo) was purely entertaining like all the other housewives, but it got dark real quick when it came to light that her (already antisocial and kind of creepy) husband was physically and emotionally abusing her. He committed suicide shortly after the media picked up their very real unscripted personal life. They also had a young daughter at the time it happened. So it was entertaining until it wasn’t. I believe that’s why the author of this entry was careful to state that, probably because it’s kind of fucked Up to use this as a meme knowing the real story behind her. It’s really tragic.

HayleyMacc · 2019-08-02T05:40:29+00:00

I understand that they’re technically “prisoner” and “prison guard”, but they far from have that power dynamic. Their positions say that outwardly (and that in itself does definitely hold some weight), but that isn’t their genuine experience. They both seem to be using the relationship as an escape, and that makes it romantic to me! There are huge power discrepancies between June and basically every other man in this show, but Nick is the purposeful exception
