So the intensity of Ender's Game picks up in the last few chapters. As Ender is exposed to life as a solider in Battle School, his mindset and purpose at the school changed dramatically. He is put into armies and begins his battles, showing great skill and determination to win his games. I found it interesting being inside Ender's mind the entire time.
A few questions that I had while reading these chapters were: Why did commander Bonzo get mad at Ender when he prevented another team from winning a game? Are the buggers really a myth or a fantasy? What is the point of the game Ender plays on his desk with the giants and the playground? Why did Peter appear on Ender's screen in the game he was playing?
Through the book, the idea of xenophobia still lives on in the talk and fear of buggers and the open space around the school.
So far, I am still enjoying Ender's Game. It is becoming more fun to read with each turn of the page. I really like how as you read you are put into Ender's mind, then pulled out of it. It seems as though the book switches between 1st person and 3rd person very often. Even though it gets kind of confusing at times, it keeps me on the edge of my seat!
