That might sound great but Ender's army , "the dragon army", started being only composed of unexpeirienced seven year olds which ,contrary to the usual rules, he isn't able to trade. For poor Ender everything continues being unfair and different from the other rules as when he only have 3 weeks to prepare his army for the first battle ( instead of 3 months). But everything starts getting even worse when Dragon army wins every single battle that happen every day, sometimes even twice a day ( instead of one every 2 weeks), because of that incredible amount of victories Ender soon finds himself in a position where almost every commender filled with jealousy hate him, one more specialy, Bonzo , hates him so that he plans on killing poor Ender. Ender soon gets attacked by Bonzo but because of his great skills he strikes back and leaves him lying on the ground. Ender now hates himself, thinks his a bully and is starting once again being depressed. On the other side Colonel Garff doesn't care and even if Ender is unable to fight his army is sent the same evening to fight aginst 2 armies at the same time with not any stars to hide behind.

Blog #3: What do you love/ appreciate most about the protagonist of this novel? Give 1 example of whom she/he reminds each of you of and why.

What I really love about this book  you can see grow up and know what happens in his brain and compare it with what is happening around him. I love seeing that even if Ender is very smart and quite powerfull he resists to being like all the bad persons that surround him and continues being almost completly his nice and caring self. What my mum loves about Ender is that he is a little boy that almost had any love and that is hated by everybody but succedes in not having this hate inside of him and continuing as a good person.
