Paper Summary:
This paper presents an examination of how the author develops the concepts of childhood, adolescence, and the transition to maturity in this work. The paper focuses on plot and characterization as well as the author's personal philosophy.From the Paper:
"As with most authors, Ursula Le Guin bases most of her stories and novels on her beliefs and disbeliefs. She is an atheist and relies more on philosophy than religion. Perhaps that is why "Standing Ground," a story that deals with abortion, was written with no objectivity. Le Guin had no religious beliefs interfering with her intended theme. Many of her stories are based on Taoism, where there is good in every evil and evil in every good. In her writings, Le Guin addresses enduring human problems."More papers on Ursula Le Guin's "Standing Ground":
