Wave one LHOD
       Genly Ali comes from a planet like that earth . Where Genly comes from there are genders on his planet . His planet is not just cold it is hot as well.  He was sent to winter for a mission to get them to join the other planets or nation or whatever you want to call it. When he was there he met a Gethenian named Estraven . AS the story goes on Genly  felt like Estraven betrayed him, but I'm actually reality he did not. Estraven was trying to help and protect Genly. The king felt Estraven was a traitor to Kharide so he exiled Estraven. Estraven went to Orgoreyn. Chapter 6 is where they talk about Estraven fleeing to Orgoreyn. I believe the planet we're Genly comes down Men are superior to women because so far throughout the chapters 1-14 Genly references negative comments about women . In chapter 5 you can find a lot of negative comments Genly says about women . It’s hard and confusing for Genly to understand that they have no gender because he always refers to the as a “he” but they are not really “he’s or she’s” they are neutral until they are in kemmering. Genly was attracted to a Gethenian named Fauxe. Genly describes “him” as the most beautiful person he has ever seen . Genly masculine mannerisms causes communication barriers between him and certain Gethenians. He struggles to trust them . He also gets tired of trying to fit to their shiftgothor or however you spell it . He also is over he little they want to change . In kharide they are not really willing to change . Their cars or whatever they use only go 25 mph, once Genly even said he rather get out and walk .

  1. Genly only trust Faxe because he is in love with her Beauty. But I think Genly also trust some one else like Estraven mate because remember Ashe came to Genly for help. And Genly said yeah he'll help them out for his friend to come home.

  2. I think anyone put in the situation Genly was put in would be doing the same things. I know personally I would have an issue trusting people from an entirely new planet, especially when the only information you have is from other's who were there before to study for some time.

  3. It's pretty sad to know that here is this "alien" world where everyone is equal and here comes Genly, from a world where men dominate. He's also always trying to assign genders to Gethenians.
