Wave 1

                Genly definitely struggles to see Gethanians as themselves and not humans. There society is completely different than us by not having gender play a role in there world, meaning that everyone is treated the  same. On Earth we classify ourselves and differentiate ourselves with what gender we are and we treat each other differently. In chapter 8 Genly struggles to realize that the king is pregnant. Genly classified the king as a man before the news of the king's pregnancy came out. This is one example of how on Earth we try to classify ourselves and Genly struggles to except that on Winter you can be both and be treated the same. Overall, this goes to show that it shouldn't matter weather you're a boy and a girl we should all be treated equally.
