Reading response December #1

                                                    Ender's Game--12/3/13(95 pages read)

I just started reading Ender's Game. This book is about a boy named Ender Wiggin who is about six years old and is in a military like school.  One day Ender gets his monitor taken off. The monitor is a device installed in the back of his neck that monitors everything about him. The monitors know what he feels, sees and hears. One day they take off his monitor. The older boys decide that they want to beat him up because his monitor is gone and there is no one to help him. The older boys call him names and start to push him around then they held him. Ender pointed out how it took a whole bunch of them to beat him up.  They let go of Ender. As soon as they let go he kicks the leader and kills him. He threatened the other kids that if they try to beat him up he would do the same to them. In the next chapters Ender goes home and believes that he failed school because they took his monitor off. Everybody thinks that Ender failed. His brother peter makes fun of him because he is a third child and is useless. Peter is mean to Ender and tortures him physically and mentally. Enders sister valentine is nice to Ender. While they are having a family dinner General Graf comes to the house to take Ender to battle school in space. Ender family at first thinks that Ender is in trouble for beating up the kid. Ender said that he wanted to all the next fights not just that one.
