I am reading a science-fiction book called “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card and so far I read 219/396 pages.

The main character in my novel is named Ender Wiggin and he is from America. He is six years old when he is sent to the battle school in space. That’s the place where the most intelligent kids in the world go to train so that one day they become military commanders. He loves his sister, Valentine, but hates his brother, Peter. He doesn’t like violence though his whole life is about violence. Ender also analyzes things in extreme detail since he is very intelligent and thanks to that quality he always wins in strategy games. I imagine him tall (for his age) but skinny, with blond hair and pale skin.

Ender at age of six beats up a boy pretty badly, and hates himself for having been so violent:

“Kicking him in the groin, kicking him repeatedly in the face and body when he was down-it sounds like you really enjoyed it” “I didn’t” Ender whispered. (Orson Scott Card page 46)

In the book they don’t talk much about the antagonists which are the buggers. The buggers are aliens (that look like bugs) who invaded Earth and who took millions of human lives. Planet Earth was able to repel the buggers and since then, humans are preparing to withstand the buggers again. The buggers use their minds to communicate among themselves. The single buggers don't take any decisions.  They blindly do everything that their queen decides.  Everything each of the buggers sees and feels, the queen immediately sees and feels herself.  I imagine the buggers like ants but a thousand times bigger.

This quote shows us how violent the buggers can be:

 “Cheer up. The buggers may kill us all before he graduates.” (Orson Scott Card page 65)
