Enders Game part 2

As Ender was flown up to the battle school on the asteroid belt surrounding Earth, Ender faces more trouble. Ender has already been singeled out as a third but Graff, I believe, wants to isolate Ender even more. He does this by singling out Ender. Saying that Ender will be the only successful at the battle school and that the other students were to be frank, useless idiots who would be bugger fodder. This although a cruel tactic by Graff, trying to make all of the other students turn on Ender, was effective the students started bullying Ender right then and there, but that all ceased. As Enders deadly instinct to kill came into play and broke a child's arm. This obviously made Ender look like a threat in the eyes of the other students and was shunned as soon as they all landed aboard the battle school.

Ender had to have been feeling horrible, after breaking that child's arm and that he had been made an enemy of the other students by his own teachers mysterious intentions.  When they landed Ender asked Graff why he had singled Ender out, Graff simply replied to Ender's question by stating that students would be even angrier at him if they saw Ender talking to him now. While effective this tactive was showing a darker side to colonel Graff than even before. From reading between the text and even just from the text you can see that Graff cares about nothing but the I.F.'s success.

These chapters are mysterious an interesting about Graff's true intentions for Ender. It also shows just how heartless powerful forces can be so that they just use children as tools. This also demonstrates the social commentary displayed in the book as children get sent off into the military in many places around the world and are treated even worse than the example in Ender's game.

Ender's game part 1.

This week I thought I'd go back and see which books I thought were best. As I traced back through the timeline of every book I've finished all my thoughts lead back to this one: Ender's Game what more can be said, you already know just by looking at the title that this book is going to be a fascinating read. Orson Scott Card must have known that he had written a masterpiece so gave it a title that suited it. When you start to read the book though that's when the magic happens.

Ender's Game like all sci-fi starts off in the future. At first Earth seems no different from Earth to day except new technology. An example of this is a monitor, a monitor is a device that is wired to your mind so that the military know what you're thinking,feeling,seeing,and doing. All this so that they can choose the best young minds (5-6 year olds) to bring to battle school. Andrew Ender Wiggin  is different from other kids. Most children get their monitors removed at four or five years of age but Ender still has it, and he's six. This is peculiar and means that the military are interested with him, another thing that sets him apart is that Ender is a third, having a third child at this point in the future is illegal because I presume America is over populated. Which means that the government had to allow it.

Do to his differences Ender gets bullied by the other children in his class and by his brother back home. His sister though loves him tenderly as he loves her (in a family way) this is a reason why can even stand life at home.That all changes though when Ender gets drafted to go to battle school. The man who comes to draft him is colonel Graff the man in charge of battle school, who then proceeds to lie to get Endeer to accept his proposal..  What I wonder about though is whether Graff lying to Ender was the best way to get him to come without making  the society Ender believes turn into a dystopia.

I will continue Next week or sooner.
