Another Satisfying Victory

I have recently brought home another victory over a book. Yes, I have finally finished Ender's Game, which I have been waiting to talk about for ages. It has an interesting twist at the end, and that is something that I will reveal later at the <<<---SPOILER ALERT--->>> at the end of the page. This one was a false alarm. Also: note that this post is on theme and development. It will be more insight on what was really going on, than a recommendation, but I still think that you should read it. ☺

I believe that the main theme behind this is: one can always be loved, and likewise, one can always be hated. Ender  has many friends, and many enemies throughout the book. You can tell by the way he thinks about them. I am going to start with the basic, and closest lave and hate that Ender has. Both of these people are within his family. Valentine and Peter Wiggin. Valentine loves Ender enough. that she wants to protect him, and also, she is the only one to remember his birthday. Peter, is the polar opposite of Ender, and Valentine. He wants to kill Ender at the beginning of the book because of jealousy. Peter also, is manipulative, because of his smarts. Ender is smart, but not manipulative.

Now let's get to Ender's friends and enemies at the Battle School. He has many friends, and just as many enemies, but I'll just name a few. I'll start with his enemies. Bonzo Madrid is the worst of these, followed by some of the other commanders of different armies.Bonzo specifically goes after Ender in one chapter. During this event, a fight takes place. The fight is set in the showers, when Ender is alone. Ender ends up winning the fight, and then on top of it, makes sure that Bonzo doesn't mess with him again. Now I'll get to his friends. All of these people were described thoroughly, and are major components of the story. Some of these are Alai, Bean, Petra, and many others that help him throughout the story. Each of them comes to help him at the end of the story.

<<<---SPOILER ALERT--->>>

At the end of the book, ender is actually in command school. He works with Mazer Rackam, whom was thought to be dead. (Twist #1) He then begins work in simulators. All of his friends from the battle school whom were aparently graduated into pre-command school, are actually also there. (Twist #2) The third and final twist is when the computer simulated game that Ender and his friends were trianing on turned out to be a link to the real bugger war, in which Ender won.
