A summer’s day, birds chirped, music from nearby hours blasted, the sun shone strongly and temperatures soared to thirty-seven degrees. A Saturday afternoon, for many week workers is a time for family, but not for Serena Campbell. Whilst her daughter went on Holiday to Spain with University friends, Serena found her attentions drawn to casual lover Ric Griffin.
They held no rules, no regulations concerning their personal relationship, they just liked to have some fun every now and again, push the boundaries. It was not just sex; any simple fool could engage in casual sex, they liked to take it a little further. Role-playing often amused their sexual relationship; adventure took them places they would never go if they were in love.
Today fell no different; Lady of the Manor heiress and devoted wife to a resounding businessman, Serena sat herself delectably in a sun lounger, sipping a glass of Red Wine. She stared out to the man in her garden, her forbidden paramour, her handyman Ric Griffin.
His arm muscles bulged as he lifted soil with the garden fork, as much as she teased Ric for his old sauntering ways in patient care. The Ric she knew outside hospital walls surprised her no end. They became each other's dirty little secret, in the work of the seven deadly sins, the fed upon the lust and greed they held for each other added to their glutinous behaviour, this excessive consumption of each other’s body just to fill their needs. Needs that started to become wants and as she sat with the wine in her hand, Serena did not just want Ric; she needed him. They had a game to play, she could not just cave straight away and drag him inside, that stood weak, and that was not the aim of today.
Foolishly, Serena tipped out her wine on...

...? I think my foot needs looking at"
Ric smiled, "I think I can manage" he took off her flip-flop and could see no damage, and Serena felt no pain when he touched her foot. "I think you'll live, but I think I'll give you the once over. Lie back and relax"
Serena raised her eyebrow, but did as he asked, smiling as he placed a small kiss on her foot. He started to trace kisses up her left leg, pushing the long maxi dress Serena was wearing up, inch by inch with every kiss he gave, her arching legs, aiding such easy lifting to the dress and placement of kisses.
Serena would never usually find herself wearing a maxi dress, but she brought this one on holiday a few years ago, and rather liked it, but had not wore it since the holiday, her daughter Eleanor always mentioned how nice she looked in the dress, so Serena thought she may as well bite the bullet and wear it.

While Amy Tan grabbed the audience with both her title and first line, she never gave us more information about Robert, the minister’s son, with whom she stated in her first line that she fell in love with. Her essay included a great amount of detail when it came to her mother’s preparation of dinner, but if the story was supposed to be about his family coming for dinner, there should have been a few more details about it.
Here, she is acknowledging her lack of female expression while realizing how much male-dominance is truly present in their society. Due to a flowers distinct feminine appearance, they begin to become an outlet for Offred to express her remaining femininity. Later in the novel when Serena begins cutting off the tulips seed pods, “positioning the blades of the shears, then cutting with a convulsive jerk of the hands” (153). As Offred begins to question, “Was it the arthritis, creeping up? Or some blitzkrieg, some kamikaze, committed on the swelling genitalia of the flower,” Serena’s indirect attack towards Offred, who is linked to the tulips through color, is revealed. This action symbolically recognizes Serena’s role, to be an obedient wife who can not reproduce. As this scene comes to an end, Serena’s garden is described as subversive, reflecting “a sense of buried things bursting upwards, wordlessly, into the light” (153). Regardless of Serena’s aggressive tending of the garden, Offred is still able to notice the rebellion found within the garden.
