Question

I read "The Left Hand of Darkness". My prof ask me to write an essay about how the book relates to the theme of "Self and Other".
I am not sure what he wants me to do.

Answer 1

no need to know about the book, I just ask what he means

Answer 2

Yes, how means exactly "in what way".
Does he ask you to prove? What grade/course is this?

Answer 3

I don't really understand what you mean by "is shown in lobe, in perspective and politics, do you mean like that's how the author shows?

Answer 4

ok, another way to say : LeGuin (the author) us narrative technique to show the theme of
Self and Other. By letting 2 narrators talk about the same thing, she let the readers have a 2-side point of view about the world.
Is it the way to talk about "how"?

Answer 5

Answer 11

recalling:

Answer 12

Are you asking me to prove or show, why is it legit for the author, or why is it a good way of writing a novel, using 2 side point of view, and how this book proves that?

Answer 13

no, no, I just want to ask you what should I do with that kind of question. Do I have to show the way that theme is applied in the book or do I have to talk about the theme itself? For the second part, I mean : I have to prove that the author use that theme in love, in politics and in gender of the narrators.

Answer 14

You can ask him what he wants you to do.
