I  ask here  [the question][1] since it hasn't been answered in 
Math Stack Exchange. 



I am working through Greenberg and Harper, Lecture notes on Algebraic Topology, and I am having trouble with one exercise. I have spoken with a professor and he encouraged me to ask here or look for it in books since the exercise (which i will insert below) is related to 3-manifold theory, which isn't covered in the book and I have never studied it before. Here it goes what is explained on the book:

[![h1][2]][2]

[![h11][3]][3]

[![h2][4]][4]

[![h3][5]][5]


I have managed to solve Exercise 21.29 and to prove Proposition 21.31 in an alternative way using Mayer-Vietoris (with some help: [here][6]). My problem is in Exercise 21.30 since I have no idea of how to start or how to deal with it.



In the beginning I thought I could use Exercise 21.29  and see both [C] and [J] as the images of [C] by the isomorphism I showed in Exercise 21.29. And then all I had to do is to show that there are the same number of "windings" that "under-crossings", 2 of each. However, I think this procedure is not rigorous.  



I am afraid I can't show no more progress on the problem besides the idea above. I have been thinking for a few days but no more useful ideas have come to my mind. 





Any help would be appreciated, even if it consists on pointing me to a book or reference where I can find something related. And please I would really appreciate detailed explanations if you have any idea since this is the first time I deal with something like this.
