Entry 7 -- Ender's Game
What is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
It is quite hard to tell the mood of this novel, because it changes every time. First, intense, then, sad, then exciting, and so on. I really found this novel sadden me a lot the part when Valentine, Ender's older sister, sending letter to Ender. Valentine was asked to send letter to Ender by Colonel Graff, because Ender could not continue playing his game. She send a letter to Ender that encouraged Ender, and Ender cried at the thought of his family, and eventually, he could go on with his game. In his game, in the part when he was keep squashing the head of the enemy snake, he kissed the snake instead, and the snake turned into Valentine, and she helped him to complete his tasks.
I almost cried at the thought that Valentine loved Ender forever when everyone, even his own parents had forgotten about him. I could imagine how it would feel to be separated from the parents at that age.

Entry 6 -- Ender's Game
What is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?
I think the climate of this novel is the part when Ender plays his last game, which was the real war against buggers. Ender just thought it was another game, but it was the real game. He had won against many buggers, and began to be loved by others. The event of this novel make me feel quite confused, because the the last game, that I thought was just like other games, suddenly turned out to be a real war.

Entry 5 -- Ender's Game
Who are the main characters in the novel? do you like them? why or why not? what is special about them? what do they reveal about the universal human experience?
The main character of this story is named Andrew, but mostly called Ender. I don't like him, because he is more unique, strong, and smarter than anybody in the story. Many students who were older and bigger than Ender could not beat against him with brain and power.

Entry 4 -- Ender's Game
Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? what are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
The novel doesn't relate to the current situations much, because the setting of this noble is the future world, and has a lot of mechanical devices that are not currently functioning in this current world. But there is one thing that relate to the current world: there are bullies in every place in world. In Ender's Game, Ender got bullied by other students wherever he went, and he realized that there are no places without bullies. In the real world, there are bullies everywhere. I have seen bullies wherever I went, just like Ender in the novel. The novel never showed how it can be resolved, but it suggested us to act just perfectly normal. Ender was treated as a special child in his school, and that caused the other students to bully over him. So, you'd better be perfectly normal in order to survive from the bullies.

Entry 3 -- Ender's Game
what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
The major theme of this novel is, I think, that we should not judge people by just looking at their appearances. Bonzo, who was the older student, tried to bully Ender because he was smarter than him, and he got beaten by Ender.
This theme is important to the teenager, because many teenagers in this world are tended to judge people by just looking at their appearances; for example, they listen to those who have good faces, but they sometimes ignore those who don't look good. Sometimes, older people try to bully the younger ones just because they seem to look weaker.

Entry 2 -- Ender's Game
Ender got his education and army practices in his training school. He was first bullied by other students, but he got used to it, and even he broke the arm of one of the students, who was called Bernard.
I think he is too abnormally smarter than any other person in the school. He never made mistakes, and he was even stronger than other students. So, personally, I envy him a little.

Entry 1 -- Ender's Game
Ender took off his moniter from his back of his bone, but his classmates started to bother him, just because that he was a third. Ender beat one of the classmates up hard so that they would never bother him again. One day, a person named Colonel Graff came to Ender's home and took him to the training school.
I think he is more adventurous than I. He decided to go to the training school even though he knew that he wouldn't come back to home until at the age of 18. If I were him, I wouldn't have decided to go to the training school. I love my home and my family more that any other place or person.
