Ender's Game #4

It surprised me that the identity of ender’s siblings wasn’t disclosed to the public. But then as the story progressed, I understood why they weren’t revealed. They were crucial to the war that was happening on earth and they were the some of the only ones strong enough to lead the people. People would feel uneasy if their real age was found out because adults naturally think that they should be smarter than children. I agree with Ender when he was with Valentine and he expressed his worries about defeating the buggers when he doesn’t even know anything about them. I think it’s totally unrealistic to conquer something you can’t understand in the most basic form. I don’t know if the people at the battle school don’t know anything about the buggers or if they are simply filtering all of the information they know away from the kids. I still think that it would have benefited them. I didn’t like how they set up Ender and the commanders in the end and lied about their battles being just a game. In my opinion, I think that Ender could have dealt with the pressure. It surprised me how Ender went back to the tactics he learned during Battle School and used them to win the war with the buggers. I thought it was kind of cool how Ender came to understand the buggers. I think that the government should have put in more effort to understand them so they all didn’t have to die due to people’s fear of them. I wonder where Ender ended up putting the cocoon because it implies that he did find a place to put it.
