I enjoyed how Le Guin used the option of telling the story from another point of view that wasnāt human. The author starts off subtle with how they met, he was kind in the beginning. Ever since the husband went hunting, his attitude has changed towards her and the kids. Suddenly his kids began to be frightened of the dad. When the narrator described the husband as āand the ears gone, and the eyes gone blueā¦.staring at me out of that flat, soft, white face. He stood up then on two legs.ā it gave me a description of what the husband looked like and heās definitely not human. My question is, are they really wolves or something else? Le Guin didnāt directly mention what they were. Why did he turn aggressive?

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Iāll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the endāsince I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times donāt work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means youāll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I agree, the author did start off the story very subtle which lead me to believe that I was going to read about an average family. The details throughout the story were very good and added a lot to the story as a whole.
