Hey folks,
Great to see so many signing in. Who, by the way, is D. Fiend? :)
We'll soon be adding periods 3 and 2, so this blog should start to rock. Hope you're enjoying this novel.

This book seemed confusing till about chapter 3... now I'm at Veni Vidi Vici(I arrived, I conquered, I saw) FYI. I would be finishing the book now if I didn't have to write speeches for History. Oh-yeah, about Ender, I think there's more to him then meets the eye.

Uhh *Yawn* I just woke up from this weird nightmare.
I was just walking around when all of a sudden this landslide occurs, so I jump from rock to rock on the brink of death, when unexpectantly the landslides turns into bread dough, and finally when I make it to the top, this HUGE giant dares me to drink this weird liquid, but I decide not to, so I stab him in the eye and I fall down into this place called "fairyland". Seeking refuge, I find this park in the middle of nowhere with these scrawny little children. And just when it couldn't get worse,the children turn into hungry, ferocious wolves and they start chasing me. I'm like running on and on and on, and then finally I wake up, whew!!
That was sca...ry.. I..........ahhhh. eh...............nd.........ah *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

In the later chapters of the novel, Ender seems to slowly become more related to his older brother, Peter. His actions are becoming more violent and he is starting to bring out a new side of him.

D. Fiend can't get any credit for posting if the "Puppet-Master" doesn't know who he or she is. :)

I started reading the previous posts, but I don't really feel like reading 47 of them, so sorry if I repeat anything.
Ender is a pretty awesome kid. I think he can be harsh at times, but only when he has to. I think he is unrealistically smart (as well as the other kids in Battle School), but maybe everybody in the future will be like them.

As I read further in Ender's game I feel like Ender is becoming a more lazy, whiny, emo, pascifist kid. He losses interest in the "games" and he does not have a care about the buggers taking over the earth. All he wants to do is sit in a boat on a lake, get bitten by mosquitos, and cry.

Josh, It doesn't change the fact that that is how he is at the moment.

I would probably do the same as Ender, but it doesn't change the fact that that is how he WAS!!! I was just putting down of what I thought of Ender! The blog states, "Post what you think, so far, of this fascinating 6-year-old" and that is what I did!

(!!SPOILER!!)DO NOT READ UNLESS FINISHED WITH THE NOVEL!
Towards the end of the novel, Ender turns back into a normal, happy, kid. However, I do not understand why he is showing compassion towards the 2nd form of buggers!?
(!!END SPOILER!!)
