When Genly is in the truck on the way to the prison/factory, he reflects about kindness. He thinks that even when people have nothing else left, that they still have kindness. I sort of agree with Genly, but I think it more or less depends on the person. Some people have a lot but are very mean, and some people have nothing, but are very kind. I think that even when everything else is gone, people still have emotions, a contious, and feelings. It depends on the person as to how they use these things.
I was really surprised that Estraven went and saved Genly. Even when it was basically Genly's that Estraven got exiled. We learn alot about Estraven's character in this chapter. Even though he hasn't seemed like it so far in the story, he is really quite selfless.
I'm confused about what dothe is? Is it just a period of time where a person has super strength, and then once it's over they get weak and must recover?
Genly and Estraven's conversation about their trust for one and other was interesting. It never occured to me that this whole time, Estraven was trying to help Genly. He was even willing to help him to the point where he got exiled, and to the point where he could have been killed while trying to escape. Estraven is definately starting to seem like a much more trustworthy character at this point in the book.
