Journal 4

The climax of Ender’s Game is when Ender and his army fights in a war, which they thought as a game. It is interesting how the author managed to write down all the actions and not bore the readers. In the climax, Ender eventually succeeds of getting rid of the main hive of the buggers. When he takes his headphones off, he sees people cheering and praying. Rackham tells Ender that he was the actual commander for the army, and Ender notices what is going on. I was kind of sad from the beginning to the end of the story. The way Ender was treated made me think that he was only a tool for defeating lives that are not favored by the world. The saddest part for me is the end of the novel where Ender blames himself for killing buggers, who have done nothing wrong. This part of the story also made me a little angry. Because of the adults, a child had to be used as a weapon in the war. One of the saddest types of people to see is teenagers with their youths taken away. It is important to meet the world’s criteria, but it is more, much more important to develop during youth. Why give up such important time in life for the world? What has the world done for us except for poisoning children and teenagers with messages from media that does not make sense? This book is a book that has numerous actions, but also with numerous messages.
