  1. 1. i like how ender is always smart in how he proves himself to the boys dont like him so much but what i dont like so much is the weird words they use like bugger it takes a while to understand what the author means.

    2. i think ender's gonna go to war and hes going to prove himself to everyone else and hes gonna be the best.
    3.if you cant do it twice you cant do it at alli like this quote because this is when he beats the boy in the game the second time and he really is starting to show everyone what hes capable of.

  2. So far Ender's game surprised me. When I chose this book I was expecting to not enjoy it that much, but I stand corrected. At the moment I am liking where this is leading and what has already happened. Currently there is not much I dislike about the story because I am exited about what will happen to Ender and what he will do. There are quite a few questions I have including what is Peter's real plan or purpose and where will this lead to? How will Peters and Valentines story connect to Ender's. The other main question I have is what are the buggers? So far we have only heard of them in propaganda and from the older soldiers. Why did the buggers really attack and are they really coming back? I am very exited for what in store. There are lot's characters in this book thus ton's of possible quotes, but one that really stood out to me is "They don't want to teach me everything," Ender said. "I wanted to learn what it was like to have a friend." Pg 69 Para 9. This stood out to me because this is what they are trying to keep from Ender, friends and I wonder how that will affect him in the future. Also, will Ender find a way to keep his friends or will he eventually be separated from them.

  3. 1. So far when I have been reading Ender's game I thought that it was very slow and boring for the first section. Although, once I got farther into the book then I began to enjoy it more. Reason being, the book began to have much more excitement throughout the pages. I have really enjoyed this novel so far and wish to continue enjoying the suspension between the pages of the book. There is only one thing that I have not enjoyed about this book so far. The thing that has slowed the book down a lot is that some of the scenes are very confusing and you can not necessarily see where the scene takes place and what it is happening at that moment.

    2. My question that I am going to make is that I am wondering where Ender will go if he ends up going to war? Will Ender ever see his family again in this book? My predictions to these are that I believe that the Buggers will come to them instead of the humans going to the Buggers. The reason I believe this is that the I think that the Bugger's planet will be taken over by beings of larger strength and the Buggers will then be pushed towards the Humans. The buggers will then attempt to take over planet Earth and Ender's crew will have to protect their home planet. I believe that Ender will see his family again saying that all books usually end in a happy ending and what other way to finish a book with a happy ending then a family reuniting.

    3. The quote I chose was from when Ahli and Ender see a devastating note on Ender's bed: (ENDER WIGGIN, ASSIGNED SALAMANDER ARMY, COMMANDER BONZO MADRID, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, CODE GREEN GREEN BROWN, NO POSSESSIONS TRANSFERRED.) I chose this quote because it is a very important part of Ender's life and it could change the whole plotline of the book.

  4. So far Enders game has been a good but slow moving book. When we chose this book I thought that it was going to be a very fictional type book that wasnt going to be too enjoyable but so far there has been a mix of both fiction and non fiction which I like in a book. I think that it could be a little bit more non fiction in the way that they are going up to space for training to be fighters. Other than that I am liking the book so far. One question that I would ask would be what is Peter and Vilintine doing back in their world? I think that in this book they could be tansfering to the modern world more often so that we can get a view of what is happening to Peter and Vilintine so that if and when Ender comes back to their world it wont be like "what happened to them?" Since Ender is training to be a fighter ans is fighting I has this strong feeling that he is going to get really hurt which I find makes this book a lot more intresting and makes you predict what is going to happen next and if he is even going to make it back to his home world. I have found this book to be very meaningful and have a lot of good quotes but one that really stood out to me was when Valintine and Peter were talking on page 131 paragraph 1 and Valintine asked Peter "are you going to kill me peter?" The reason for this is because peter acted like he hated Ender before he left and said he was going to kill him because of the things that he was doing with Valintine to make her like him more. Due to this Valintine took affence to this and always talks about Peter killing her as well. Overall this book has been very good so far and a lot of intresting things are to come soon

  5. I Like how no matter what the world throw's at ender he keeps getting back up. No matter how tall the mountain he keeps climbing. he keeps using the skills hes developed over the years to the best of his ability's wasting nothing. I wonder what challenge will ender face next and how will he react? "The giants corpse has essentially finished its decay" I like this quote because it tells us that enders actions have a lasting effect on the world.
