Either as.. .or as...
Hiya!
In the next sentence, I'm not sure how to interpret the part "either as... or as...".
"From that moment he always thought of the world as a whole, either as a “one-town world” or as “spaceship Earth"."
Does this mean that he thought of the world as those 2 things as well, or he thought of it as a whole, rather then as those two expressions, like he did before?
