Ender's Game is about a 6 year old boy named Ender (what else?). He lives with his brother Peter and his sister Valentine. Peter is a torturer with a deathly spirit, while Valentine is a kind, loving character. Ender is more of a mix of those two. Because a group called the I.F. can see through peoples eyes and ears, Ender gets an invitation to Battle School. Battle School is a place where intelligent kids train to defeat an intergalactic enemy, known as the Buggers. People keep talking about a guy called Mazer Rackham who won the second war with limited fleet members. Yet, the videos have all been censored out for a strange reason. Ender is called to be the next Mazer Rackham. He is quickly advanced through Battle School an goes to Command School.
If this book was in real life, I would probably be freaking out about the Buggers. If a rating had to be given in stars out of five, I think this book deserves a 4.8. The author doesn't leave out many details in plot. We can typically understand what is going on in the book.
A certain fan requested that I should do what I learn in school and talk about the characters values and beliefs. Well, here goes nothing. Ender highly values his sister Valentine. He thinks of her as a gift. She was the one he missed most when he went to Battle School. You can tell because it says, "' Valentine loves me. " With all her heart. Completely, unstintingly, she's devoted to you, and you adore her. I told you it wasn't easy." That line shows that Ender loves, and always will love his sister. He believes that the Battle School is useless. In the book it says that, '"But as for the game, screw that. That's what they're doing. Screwing up the game." That says that he hates the game in Battle School.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the third blog post! By the way, I have decided to make this blog a monthly blog. A new post every month. Enjoy!
