Ender's Game is a very interesting novel that is a great example of science fiction. A few things that show that it is science fiction is the implication that it takes place in the future, their advanced technologies and their ways of life that do not seem realistic, at least for us in the 21st century.
So far, there are only a few small examples of xenophobia. They speak of "buggers" and how their interactions with them are violent and frightening. They talk about not knowing anything about these creatures as well. Along with a few small examples of xenophobia, there are many extrapolations. First of all, the children are taken to school by rocket and are learning in space. A few other extrapolations are their monitors, the guidelines on how many children each family should have, and eating through a needle.
As of chapter 5, I am enjoying Ender's Game very much. It is not a dull story, however it is fun and very easy to understand. It was hard for me to stop at Chapter 5!
