The thought that Sissela Bok about the “whole truth” being attained is that it is impossible that it can be attained. She believes that people are lying deceived everyone, and sometime is used to protect the person. She also thinks that people that are lying is more important than anything in all of the decision that a simple lie brings. I believe she doesn’t have any faith that everyone could tell the truth. The truth is something that is hard to say, and people at times need to lie to protect their love ones. In the beginning of the chapter of “The Noble Lie” she explains how there are different lies. She explains how the lies have different reasons to for people doing it. For some of those reasons it is impossible to be completely truth. Some have to lie to protect others, and cover up the secrets that can be told. There are plenty reasons that there are to lie to people. She states, “The lies are often seen as necessary merely at one stage in the education of the public.” (Bok 166) This is something that everyone does growing up, and no one in one time of their life cannot lie to anyone.

Toni Morrison, the author of the book Sula, uses defined words to guide the reader in thinking much deeper about what she is trying to narrate. A specific part of the book that stood out for me was chapter “1939” (Morrsion, Sula, p. 112). Already starting to read the section, the title gives us a clear understanding of the time frame were dealing with. 1939 is the start of World War II and we can also indicate that discrimination and inequality still played a huge role in society. Every word Morrison chooses to use has its own deeper meaning that leads us to understand how she portrays the story and its characters.

In the book, Atwood tells the reader how women were used as political instruments. The state in the story is rigid politically, and its structure is based on controlling reproduction as the birth rates were too few in the state. The women’s’ duties were to reproduce. The state or government here oppresses women by controlling their rights to own property, be employed; voting rights and all other rights that would liberate them from subjectivity were banned. They were not supposed to be independent as it would make them look down on the government or their husbands. The women were thus not treated as human as they were only perceived as owners of a womb and ovaries. Offred, the main character reflects on it and comments that before the state of Gilead she had seen her body as her instrument of desires but now she felt as a mound of flesh that surrounds a womb whose use would make her worthy.
