Enders game

Enders game
By: Orson Scott Card
# of pgs. 40/226



The book im reading is called Enders game and it's science fiction. Its about a boy that gets in a big fight at school and always fights with his brother. The people from battle school see the tests that he took to get into battle school. They come to his house and the first thing they talk to him about is the fight and why he did it. Then they ask him to come to battle school. Though it is a very though decision to make. He would have to leave his family though not that he loved them all only his sister Valentie and it means that he would have to leave her. His decision was soon final he wanted to go to battle school.  The setting of my novel is first in Enders community in North Carolina then in battle school for training for the army and being a soldier. This book takes place in the future. The quote that indicates what the setting is: "War games. All the boys are organized into armies. Day after day, in zero gravity, there are mock battles. Nobody gets hurt, but wining and losing matter. Everyone starts as a common soldier, takes orders."(pg. 17)

  1. Sounds like a good book. Is it a series?

  2. Very interesting however you forgot to include some details such as what year it is, or where is this battle school you are talking about. Also, be careful with your wording. You wrote, "Ender's Community". I have read the book so I know what the state or city or in general area is like but to others it will sound like a "Utopia" (I use that term loosely) from the giver. Other than that though you were quite proficient in explaining the first bit of the book and making others want to read it so that they can learn more.
