i think the citizen’s access is sort os like when u have one computer or website and u make several accounts and act like different people. it doesnt say how they are going to save th world but supposedly by sparking up big debates they could become political leaders.

I think it was a good idea for the Battle School to put Ender with bad fighters in his army to test Enders ability to teach. But I dont get why they would move him up to commander so soon and change rools to make it harder for Ender. This seems really unfair for Ender and I think in some ways it could make Ender feel like hes a bad commander and not want to be one.

they moved him up so that he could be pushed to his full potential as a leader and a soldier. that way in times of trouble ender would already havr the knowledge of how to command an army to fight battles. its kind of like in math at school when there are really smRt students so they get moved up to a class that is not neccessarly their age group. i dont know why he would feel like a bad commander because he got his army in control in less than a day and he is doing better than all the other commanders he had.

Graff and Anderson are wanting Ender to play his game but I dont understand why they would do that, it would just make Ender think about his brother and not want to fight. Also wht are Graff and Enderson changing the rulers to make it harder for Enders group, because it is just wearing them out. Also I like how Enderson is seeing potential in Bean because he is so smart and helping Bean to be a good fighter.

they are wearing out the army so that they can see that ender trained them to not complain and to keep trying. i dont think they are being reasonable because 8 battles a week is too much.

i think that one team starts on the ” floor” and one is on the ” ceiling” where eahc of the gates are and remamber this is in null gravity so up could be down and blah blah blah.

Keep thinking about all the challenges. They will get harder and harder. Hannah, I like the analogy with math. Hope Europe is treating you well, we all miss you.

john i think they make him play the mind game because it helps with his fighting strategies and concepts. plus seeing his brother makes him wader and in a way it kinda makes him want to get farther into the mind game to get away from his brothers image

i feel bad for ender, beacuse battle school for ender is literally using him school for ender

it is really sad that Ender has no family or freinds. the battle school is just making his life worse and worse! And forcing Valentine to write the letter was super mean and broke enders heart!

john i dont really understand your question but umm i think the gates have to be down in order for them to attack eachother!

the game where ender meets the end of the world is really scary i think it is a good lesson because it teaches him to be on his own and think on his own. Although its kind of creepy how he sees himself as peter in the mirror!

I dont understand why Graff is telling Valentine that simething is wrong with Ender
June 1, 2010 at 10:05 pm
I think this section of the book gets a little cofusing. I dont really get how Peter and his sister are acting as two different people in debates through a citizens access thing on the national level. And I dont uderstand how they are going to some how protect the worldfrom doing this after the world defetes the Buggers. Also, at the Battle School, why would they progrom this game to make Ender think about his brother. This made Ender feel mean and violent like his brother which made Ender not want to fight. And on top of that Ender found out that the School made Valentine send Ender a letter just saying how Ender is not like Peter. But at least later on in Enders game he is nice to a snake and kisses it so the snake turns into Valentine. I think Ender feels better that this happened.
