The idea of mirrors being a way to look into the past is an interesting thing. when mirrors are found later in the book do they have the same meaning? The motif of flowers could be expanding the ideas of beauty and gardening being a way of creating life. The Handmaids are no longer able to worry about their beauty and the idea of creating life is tainted. The gym parallels to the Handmaids because the basketball games played in the gym are played with a lot of effort and the players become sweaty and clammy, and a Handmaid has to give birth which requires a lot of effort and she would also become sweaty and clammy.

The thought of simple fun is no longer something that could be enjoyed was such a subtle idea and was interesting to think about. What you discovered about the balcony was such a wonderful find. Your conclusive idea about the "cardboard devils" was also a very creative thought which is often overlooked.

You were the first person to mention the technique of structure which always is a key thing to pay attention to. It was also great work on trying to identify the time of the novel by looking at such subtle hints in the passage.
