ENTRY OF MY CHOICE<3

I saved this entry for the last! Again!:P

I would like to post my overall feelings towards this book. I loved this book! I think that this book will become one of my favorite books. Because this book was one of the school required books that I had to read, I thought that it would be another boring book. Yet, I was mistaken. Unlike like my first book "Fahrenheit 451" really boring and uninteresting that I kept sleeping as reading several pages of the book, this book made me keep reading more and more that I could just not stop it! Although Fahrenheight 451 was shorter compared to Ender's Game, I read my second book quicker without any feelings of not wanting to read. The librarian recommended this book to me and my friends. I could not usually trust the librarians because they usually pick out boring ones. However, this book turned out to be a really good book and I thank the librarian now:) I don't understand why Miss Nelson doesn't like this book =[

SETTINGS<3

Ender's Game is a sciene-fictin novel. Therefore, the setting is very imaginative and creative. First of all, the main task of this book is to defeat and destroy alien buggers. So obviously, the setting of this book takes place out in the space away from earth.
The first place that looked science-fictional and fictional was the spaceship(?). Ender and his other mates were first launched into the Battleschool traveled by the spaceship. The significant part was when they were putting on the seat belts to keep them from flowing all over the spaceship. I liked this part becaue I wanted to experiment it myself. What would happen if there was no gravity at all and bump all over the places of the spaceship?
The other fictional location that I found significant was the battleroom. The battleroom is where two armies fought in zero gravity. This setting let me use my full imagination and creativity: soft carpeted walls, transparent doors(gates) and no gravity. The soldiers bounced off the walls when they had made movements one to another. They could just not suddenly stop as they were flowing/flying unless they bump into a wall or each other.
I wanted to be in a setting where Ender's Game took in place because I can't really experience in real where I can be flowing around. I wanted to experience!

CLIMAX<3

The climax is distinguished in a story if it is said to be the most exciting part of the story with the greatest intensity. In this book, the climax would be the Third Invasion. Ender was heard that it was a battle that he had to accomplish for his final exam. However, it was really the Third Invasion. Even though he knew that the battle was an impossible mission to accomplish because he was way too outnumbered(1000 buggers against himself;;;), he fought off anyways almost committing a suicide using the Doctor Device which was a special weapon of mass distruction. It wiped out the bugger species and even the planet itself. After he wiped out all the buggers, he was said to be a hero. Yet, he was really scared, fearful, and ashamed himself of becoming Peterish; becoming a violent, sadistic, and atrocious murderer. I felt really bad for Ender because everything was part of the plan. One of the first plan was beating up of Stilson to remind the teachers that Ender wasn’t too sweet-hearted like his brother. Others were beating up of Bernard, Bonzo and the buggers. He cried out everytime that he made a violent movements. However, the last battle turned out to be good for Ender because he didn’t have to attend any more battles and fight. He could forget about his bad childhood and live happily in peace=D

CURRENT SITUATION<3

At first when I was reading this book, I sort of thought that it was a situation between us, South Koreans and North Koreans. In Ender's Game, the generals were selecting the top most intelligent children from the world who could become a successful commender who could lead the army and destroy the aliens. . There were already major wars between the humans and the buggers twice. The selected children are trainded to become a soldier to extirpate the "bugger" aliens and it was Ender who succesfully outraged them. In South Korea and North Korea, men in the age of their twenties are trained to be a soldier in a military in case there is another war. It is essential for all men to attend the military in Korea. I thought that there was a connection between the book and the reality in this country: people in both were preparing for another war.
