Handmaids Tale questions

Chapter 1: What are the questions that come to mind when you read chapter 1?

*Why weren't they allowed to talk?
*Why was there a chain link fence?
*Who are the guards?
*Why do the guards have leather belts?
*Why re the people in the gymnasium?
*Why can they only go for two walks?

Chapter 2
Task 2:

What comparison does Offred make to herself and the rag rug?
"There's a rug on the floor, oval, of braided rugs"
"no further use"

This connotes that Offred believes that she has no further use. She is useless like to rug. In adddition rugs are walked all over therefore she thinks that people are walking all over her and there's nothing that she can do about it.
