Hmmm, you might be reading more into it than Card intended. In my mind he doesn't make female characters distinct until the last couple of books in the series, until then they are just males with different organs.
I'm also curious about Mormon influences. Personally, I'm largely ignorant of the whole religion other than knowing that a lot of people here look down on it.
So has anyone read the short story? Was it a quick version of the novel, or a single event from the novel?
I'm asking because in my Sci-Fi lit. class we read the short story "Blood Music" by Greg Bear and then read the novel and he changed the ending, expanded the story, and changed the it from first-person to third-person.
