Today in class, I'd have to say Saruul, Amy, and Catriona, had, by far, the most creative class discussion ever. I love love loooooved the whole pairing up and rotating inner/outer circle concept!
Also, I'd like to add that their discussion questions were very open-ended and had came up with many interesting opinions as well.
The question i had was a quote from p.233, about the "left hand of darkness" and its "right hand" which was light. I interpreted this quote as two factors, light and darkness, two of which work hand in hand and need each other for existence. For example, how we do know what light is? In order for us to really know what light is, we have to know what darkness is. And same goes for darkness; we need to know what light is to experience what darkness is. One of my partners, Paula I believe was her name, had mentioned that this particular quote was similar in the concept of the Yin and Yang.
I personally, loved the discussion i received because i was able to recall a poem i once had read in my sophomore year in Ms. Innis' 10th grade english class. I can't recall completely the title of this poem or who wrote it but I do remember that it had the same concept of the quote on p. 233, that one needs the opposite in order to exist. My own example: how would you know if you are healthy or not? You'd have to hav been sick at least once before in order to know your state of health.
