Enders game 11

Pg 290-317
I’m almost done with the book! The games Ender plays in the college turn out not to be simulators. In fact, he was piloting actual ships in battle! He also destroyed the bugger’s home planet. He was furious when they told him he killed millions of aliens who probably weren’t even planning a third attack. He never wanted to be a killer like his older brother, Peter. Commander Graff said that since Ender grew to understand the buggers, he was able to defeat them. Graff said deception was the only way they could make him the fighter they wanted. However, after the day long celebration, the world leaders break down on their peace treaty and fight each other for Ender. Thankfully, Peter’s alter ego, Locke, was able to make a pact that settled the matter. Even so, Valentine and Ender took off in a colonization ships towards new planets and Ender became governor of the colony. I only have a few pages left, I will definitely read the sequels!

Enders game 10


224-235
            In these pages Ender leaves the academy and Bean become leader of his own army. There is much sadness among the dragon army and Enders friends. He then was taken to Florida and suffered problems you’d face by being in space all the time. as he rediscovered Earth, the leaders of the military are discussing the fact that he killed Bonzo in the fight. Meanwhile, Valentine and Peter have gone under the alter egos of Demosthenes and Locke. They spread conspiracies and write columns in news sites. Peter’s, or Locke’s plan seems to be working. However, Colonel Graff knows who Locke and Demosthenes are. So he asks Valentine to talk to Ender for some therapy. Ender has changed, Valentine finds out with shock. When she tried to tickle him on his knee, he caught it by the pressure point, and then realizes that’s were he was ticklish. I would feel sad if my little sister changed like that, only thinking like a soldier.

Enders game 9

PG 212-219
           
 In this reading it talks about how Ender is getting really tired of these games. He feels like the people in charge are doing this just so they can beat him, to wear him down. He doesn’t want to play anymore; he just wants to go home. Sometimes I feel like ender, getting endless jobs just because people think about it. However, unlike ender, I know they are really just trying to teach me math or science or something else I can use when I get older. I’m glad I have those people to push my limits.

Enders game 8

            PG 200-213
So far it turns out that Enders team is trying to be worn down by the teachers by giving them games relentlessly. Even though, Ender still prevails, which angered the older boys. So they planed to beat him the only way they could; in the shower room. When Ender went to take a shower, he noticed his enemy Bonzo had entered with six of his friends. Ender did not go after his towel because he knew that doing so would humiliate him when he ran down the corridors. Instead he stood up to Bonzo, who was ready to kill him. However, Enders brains prevailed in the end! He simply applied soap to his body and turned on all the showerheads to make steam. Doing so, he could evade Bonzo’s grabs and kick him in the crotch. It hurt so bad that Bonzo didn’t even react to the hot water he rolled into. When Ender related this to his brother Peter and his earth-school bully Stilton, I realized that some things in his life tend to repeat multiple times.  For example, they always picked on him in groups, yet only one boy had to go down for them to fall back. He also added that the teachers never helped him in these cases, which is tormenting him.
