Day One Hundred and Forty-Six

8/26

The Book: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

ISBN: 0-812-55070-6

Suggested By: Audrey Scott

Where: Home

When: 2-3P

Music: None

Company: Alone

Pages: 112-167 (55)


The Lead In: The book is readable. That is all I will say.


The 411 on the 55: The side story of Peter and Valentine begins to emerge today. Peter has recruited Valentine to help him in an article writing project on-line, meant to change the course of events in the world. Valentine gives in because she is passive, though worried about where it is headed.


Ender is handed his own squad, making him an incredibly young (9) commander of Dragon. His first practice ends with the emergence of another character, Bean, also small and young who is scrappy and very Ender-like.


Line of the Day: “She had thought that only fools would follow him.” pg 138


Fact on the Fiction: Ender’s Game received both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1985.
