Reading Diary Blog # 5

14. Why do you think the author wrote this story? Where did he or she get the idea or the characters? What message do you think that the author is trying to share? 

         Ender's Game, is a science fiction novel written by Orson Scott Card. My post is in reference to, Ender's life changing journey through Battle School and Command School. I think that the author wrote this story to show readers that Ender Wiggin started off as a weak little kid, but ended up as a strong soldier, saving the world. I also think that he wrote this story to let readers know that Ender was underestimated in the beginning, but he never let anyone bring him down. I think that the author got the idea of the story and the characters from the real world. Many people are looked down on or doubted by, even if the person hardly knows them or doesn't know what they can really do. This is similar to the situation Ender went through. I think that the message the author is trying to share is, don't underestimate someone because you don't know what they're capable of. I think that this is the message of the story because Ender was doubted by many people, but he moved on and showed everyone what he is able to do.

  1. I think that you are extreamly right on what the author is trying to teach from this story. I have underestimated many people in my life possibly to many and ended up paying for most of it.
