Post B #6

Dear Orson Scott Card,

I greatly respect your ability to write in such a manner that one finds themselves unable to stop reading. The suspense you have created is immense and grand that I actually ended up reading all three hundred pages in about three days. This is pretty impressive because they were school days... But anyways, You are a very amazing author and I had to reread Ender's Game after this and I finished that in like two days! This novel easily relates to the modern world in that if someone is accused of adultery, nothing really happens. In the olden days, people were killed for this crime, but now it is but a shameful action that can very well lead to divorce.

Also, this rebellion that is being started has caused much controversy. Ender believes it to be good to encourage the rebellion in order to unite the colony, but many of the villagers wish to just send Miro and Ouanda to Tronjheim. This would cause a great disruption to the colony, and thus Ender and Peregrino decide to rebel. This is kind of like France during the revolution of 1848. They had a council that decided upon revolution in order to unite France and have the power to combat Prussia. Finally, the Lithuanians hold Ender in great respect. This resembles the situation in which Napoleon was in. He was not French, but Corsican. This coupled with his lack of hight would have made him a man that was not respected in France, but because of his amazing ability of tactics, Napoleon became a household name and one that was treated with great respect.
