Ender's Game #1

I have enjoyed Enders Game this far. I find it very interesting how Ender seems to act so much like an adult. He always knows the future actions of those around him and has a very deep knowledge of technology. I keep wondering what the people who are in charge of Ender's new school are trying to train him for. We as readers know that there is a presence beyond humans in this book but we don't exactly know what these aliens are doing to threaten the humans. To me, it seems that they don't even know much about the "buggers"and are just blindly fighting them because they are afraid of how different they are from themselves. This misunderstanding is shown in the first chapter when Ender is playing buggers and astronauts with Peter. He questions if the aliens play games like the one he plays with his brother. This again, shows that there is this complete lack of knowledge about the aliens. I kind of connected with Ender and his Relationship with his brother and sister. Sometimes I get into fights with my older sister like he does with Peter, but in the end I know we have relationship like he has with Valentine where we would do anything for each other.
