Well, wasn’t that interesting to read… Nothing in the article that was said was un true. Wow I actually enjoyed this article. Anyway, as we ALL may know, everything revolves around money. Even in times where there wasn’t a small green slip made out of paper with a considered GOD stamped on it, there was always something that gave people power. Today, whoever has money, they can fly meaning they have great power over anyone. Currently according to the author, we are in stage 3 which I refer to as “Time of Regret.”

“Short and simple” plays big in attracting anyone to read anything. SO many events have happened in history but Atwood managed to narrow it down to four stages. FOUR. To add on, from her mood to her diction, she emphasizes that us, as humans, are stupid. Having to describe money as “god” shows that money is powerful. GOD, “powerful” would be an understatement. “It FEAST on famines, songs of joy, lamentations.” This is to show how powerful money can be. SO powerful it consumes what humans need.

To move on to stage 4, she doesn’t describe the planet as “dead.” She describes the series of events that now the planet is just a large patch of sand that surrounds what used to be nature. “we did not stop in our industrious creation of deserts.” The planet did not just “die.” We KILLED it. And thats our path as human society…

REPORTING DEAD FROM THE DESERT, I AM HUMAN, BACK TO YOU…
