The book continues to keep me interested as I continue my reading. Some main events that happened in this section of reading are: Ender was assigned his own army, the Dragon Army. The Dragon Army rises out of nowhere and begins to beat all the other armies even when they are given a very heavy battle schedule and put into unfair scenarios. Ender begins to be disliked by many commanders, especially Bonzo, and ends up getting in a fight where he kills him. Ender is promoted to Command School.
During this section of reading, the theme of xenophobia is not as prominent as it has been in previous readings, but the fear of the buggers is still the most important factor of xenophobia in the text.
A few questions I have after reading this section are: Why did the teachers think it was a good idea to put the Dragon army through such a rough schedule? Why was Ender given the weakest soldiers for his army? Why did they want to bring the underdog Dragon army back to the school? What is going on behind the scenes with the teachers, what kind of plans are they coming up with?
So far, I am still enjoying the book very much and find that it is a major page-turner. I can't wait to finish it up!
