alien point of view theme
Someone struggles to understand someone else because they are physiologically different kinds of beings.
Notes
There are a lot of stories that feature beings that are said to be alien, or otherwise non-human, but that for all intents and purposes act just like humans. This theme should only be applied if a point is being made about a physiological difference. The motivation should indicate what it was.
