The Handmaid's Tale 99-50

These next chapters become more confusing. It seems the farther we get into the story the more she has flash backs and tells about stories. Her mom sounds like a spunky woman, but she does have a point when she says this is how she wanted it. I wonder what they were running from that Luke got seperated from her and her daughter. That some how he would have reached the river bank. Also, Birth Day gets all the women excited, especially if there's nothing wrong with the baby. The reward is that Janine will never be an unwomen even if she can't have another baby. THough, what happens to the baby. I'm sure they;ll raise her but how? Will she herself become a commander's wife or will she be turned into a handmaid too. I love the part where Moira escapes. She couldn't take the crap anymore and found a way out.
Later the story kind of drags on, until she meets with the commander. I still would like to know what the point of playing scrabble was. maybe, he just wanted to enjoy some company. His wife sure doesn't seem like a Joy to be around anymore, and all he wanted was to have a companion and feel cared for.
