Reading diary blog #3

8.Now that you are this far into the story,what do you look forward to learning next? what conflicts or problems will the characters face?What qualities of your character (honest,loyal,cruel,dishonest,angry,vengeful) will affect how the character handles the problems and conflicts he encounters?


     Now that I am pretty far into the story I want to learn if the buggers are even real. I would like to know this because in the begining of the book everybody is scared of the buggers but while ender is in battle school the teachers mess with his army and act like its just a game.Another thing I would like to know is when will ender graduate battle school? I mean he has already become a commander and he is #1 on the leaderboards so honestly how much more is there to do in battle school?


          Farther in the book I think one major conflict he will have to face whether the buggers are real or not is himself eventually he will have to decide who to beleive colonel graff or dink. Now if the buggers are real I think he will have a very hard time beating them. Now if they are not Ender will have a hard time getting over that he just spent about 4-5 years of his life at a school he didnt want to go to for no reason at all. Also if the buggers are real and he loses the fight I think he will have a hard time telling everyone on earth that they have lost the war and the buggers have won.


       I think one quality that should help Ender win against the buggers is he is vengeful. I think this will help because he wants revenge on the buggers for invading them in the first place. I also think he will win because he is very smart and he also would want to prove to the people that doubted him that he can command the fleet and can win the war for the human race.

Reading Diary part 2

 12. Are you puzzled or confused about anything in the story? What is it that confuses you.and why do you find it confusing?    


        Yes i am confused about something that happened in the story. The thing I am confused about is how the trades work in the story. I dont understand how ender was traded from salamander army to rat army. I mean i know this sounds like a weird thing to be confused about but I truly am honestly confused about this. I also want to know why they didnt say what he was traded for.
