Ender’s shadow-Orson
Scott Card February 1 (50)
This week I read about Bean choosing Enders battle team.
Bean includes himself in Ender team. Sister
Carlotta finds out why Bean is so intelligent. She finds out that Bean is part
of a genetic experiment to create super human intelligent babies. A scientist discovers a way to make humans super
intelligent but with a very short life span. Another scientist illegally alters 23 clone
babies to make them super intelligent. Most of the babies are destroyed, except
for Bean who escapes by hiding. A young couple help him for a while but, they are not allow to
have children so they send him away when they think the government may
find about they having a baby. Sister Carlotta tries to find where the
scientist got the original baby to clone the other babies so that she can find
Beans real parent.
This explains a lot, Bean is not a natural intelligent kid;
he was genetically engineered to be smart. I wonder if that is possible in real
life today. I also wonder is someone
would really choose to create have a super intelligent baby even if their life
was going to be very short.
In Battle school Bean meets Nikolai Delphiki, another student. They become best friends, Bean can talk
to Nikolai. Bean includes Nikolai in Ender team, even though Nikolai is not as
good as the others. Sister Carlotta discovers that Nikolai Delphiki and Bean have the same parents so they
are brothers. Ender seems to treat Bean the same way that Ender was treated by
General Graff. He makes sure the other know Bean is the smartest in the team.
This makes Bean uneasy.
