This novel uses the emotions of the narrator, the actions and events in the story and the way that they connect with and clearly stem from society at the time that the novel was written, to make the novel easy to relate to for a reader and allows them to take on board the lessons and themes of The Handmaid's Tale in a more personal and meaningful way. A fictional novel can be made to feel real to a reader by use of details. If a book uses a lot of small details and intricacies it creates a world around the novel that can feel convincing and suck the reader in. Often books that invent a world tend to play off the world that already exists around them and then alter things so that the reader has a way 'in' to the plot and a level to connect with it on and then can open their mind to what the author chooses to add. Some famous series that do this include Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling, Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkein and Naughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman.

Most of these immigrants were attracted by three cities namely, Chicago, New Orleans, and New York. The 1800 were therefore a period of continuous immigration from the US (Aguirre, 2003, p. 8). It is apparent that the non-European immigrants have shaped protestant character of American culture by depending on structures such as social, legislative, and social established by the US government. They are doing this by following legal policies framed by the American administration and some of the social structures that
Interest groups play multiple roles in influencing government. One specific way in which interest groups influence government is through issue advocacy. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Persons (NAACP) has an over 100-year legacy, with 300,000 members, in advocating for laws dealing with discrimination against African-Americans. The Race Riot of 1908 in Springfield, Illinois highlighted that urgent need for an effective civil rights organization in the U.S. Mary White Ovington, William English Walling, and Henry Moskowitz met in New York City in January 1909, and created the NAACP. a) Arguably, the group’s greatest success in achieving its goals of anti-discrimination has been through the targeting of the United States' judiciary.
