theme of domination present throughout the story (Maynard 1). After reading “Bloodchild” and “Lessons from Culture” I agree with Maynard’s statement that this story is not about love, but about the slavey and manipulation of the Terrans by the Tlics.

democratic republic, government, and public life. The conditions we live in today do not call for the stretching of the original meaning and it is not an improvement, it takes away our liberties and goes against the First Amendment.
