Why 2 Postings for The Handmaid's Tale?

Although the division doesn't fall exactly along first half/second half lines, there are two different relationships that Offred has with the (heavily technologically mediated) system she is in. During the first part of the story, Offred is mainly "acted upon" by the system. During the latter part, she tries to turn it to her advantage (with greater and lesser degrees of success.) I want you to look at the effects of technology, the role of technology, and/or the way that Offred (and other characters, if you so choose) negotiate her/their humanity in both kinds of relationships.
