blog#1

chapter 5 is by far the most interesting chapter! the whole ritual thing really caught my attention, especially the last part of the ritual when Faxe turned into a woman with silver armor and swords i think? yea, the ritual thing was interesting but i didn't get the part where The Pervert started to touch this one man sitting next to him....i also think it is weird how Genlry is starting to think that Faxe is really pretty...i think Genlry will eventually fall in love with Faxe, but i don't know how that will work since Faxe is like a man and a woman sometimes. I guess Faxe will be the one carrying the baby if they do get married since Genlry can only be one gender while Faxe can be any gender. I also thought it was interesting how the people in the Winter have all these advance transportations such as trains and cars, but yet they don't really use it that much since they are never in a hurry to get to a place. I have a feeling that the people in the Winter really know how to enjoy life. "progress is less important than presence." this quote shows me that the people in Winter are the kind of people that would be laying on grass in a park in the middle of a work day enjoying the sunlight. They would also eat dinner for hours like people eating gourmet French cuisine, I think i can fit perfectly in that kind of lifestyle because i hate rushing from one place to another but yet i always have to do it because im always late.

  1. i hecka thought Genlry was guy when he started talking about how he thought Faxe was attractive and everything. like when Genlry first met him, he kept saying how amazing Faxe looked and everything. but apparently in my group, no one really caught that so i'm glad you caught it! yay!
    on the other hand, i don't think Genlry and Faxe can have kids because well it can only happen during kemmering right? and Genlry can't kemmer because he's not a Gethenian but that's an interesting idea you have =D!
    and i agree that the people in Winter know how to enjoy life really well. i'd like to live there too. and yes john, you're always late hehehe.
