“ The yellow line that represented at all times the state of being of his wife, the Khadilha Althea, was definition not where she should have been. It was interrupted at quarter-inch intervals by a small black dot, indicating that all was not well with the Khadilha.” (210). In this part of the story the Khandilh has a disk that tells him about his life and it tells him there will be a problem between him and his wife. This affects his future opinion with his wife because he very well knows she will do something bad to him.
“As the only female Poet on the planet, the Poet Anna-Mary was much alone; as her duties were not arduous, she had much time to brood. And though she was a Poet, she remained only a female, with the female's inferior reasoning powers." (214). This quote is important because it shows that they live in a society where women can’t have a higher authority and no matter what they do they are not important. This can affect the future because since there is a woman who has some superiority more women would be able to achieve the goal of power.
“He sank back in his chair, deaf to the list of the multitude of honors and happenings that would come to pass as a result of this extraordinary thing. Seventh Level! How could such a thing be?” [230]. This part of the story is when Khandilh finds out that his daughter is going to the seventh level of education and he finds it surprising that a woman has achieved such a major goal. This is important because if one minority can struggle to the top them all of the others of that group will do the same. In the example of the women they would be able to have the opportunity to reach level seven since it has been done before.
