The dystopia novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), written by Margaret Atwood, and the film adaptation Children of Men (2006), directed by Alfonso Cuarón, both examine the abuse of power by totalitarian government regimes which come about as a result of chaotic disasters. These oppressive governments’ abuse of their given power creates a dystopic world, and with it come restrictions to individual freedom. By viewing the two texts together, we are able to gain a greater understanding of the composer’s context.…

The secret hidden door on the same side of the tattered down bed, with the unwashed bed sheets visible to the eye. The mysterious gadgets and vials that appears to be contained with different colors, pink, and purple, even green getting sucked into an enormous liquid tube. The unimaginable stench that is hard to not turn away at the very whiff of the air circulating in the dark hub that is called a home.
