Enders game final

The book Enders game is one of my favorite books.The plot of the story is so unique, you just don't find it that often.The most interesting part is the way in the end Endre is the one who is killing the buggers the he learned from. We  took an assessment on the book. The First statement was “Lying is justifiable if it's for the greater good.”I ranked it a two out of five at first. Their I read further into the book, I realized that it was justifiable most of the time. If they had not lied to ender and told Ender the truth he would not have killed the buggers.The next state bent is “Sometimes violence is the only way to solve a problem.”Before I read the book I put a one. I still would say the same thing even though Ender used violence more than once to solve a problem. In the book a boy named Stilson tries kill,. Ender is provoked and accidentally kills stilson. Ender also ends up killing a boy named Bonzo in self defense. He is not happy when they tell him that he killed the two boys. The next statement isIt is okay to kill someone in self-defense.”I put a one before reading the book but my answer is still the same.as i reiterate myself from the last statement violance is not good in any way, self defense or to solve a problem.But that is enough time spent on that subject. at the end of the book the buggers have built a place ender remembers a place were he killed a giant. the giants drink is one of the most dredfull games they have and you die every time, umless your Ender wiggin. Ender beat the game by burroing into the giants eye. the giant died and ender got to pas that part into fairy land. he soon found a playground and all the children who were there were bigger than him. he tried to play on the structure's but was to small to do them. he decided to go to the forest and the children followed and turned into wolves and ate him. he quicly out smarted them and went to I the ehd of the world. he has many trajitys there and finds that the way to succed is to love more rather than to kill. Anaways the buggers build the game and ender follows the path, but there are no wolf children and no dangers almost like the buggers want him to succeed and in the tower he is so fond of he findes an egg with a bugger queen inside it. to me this means that they personaly want ender to carry on there duty of recolonization.and young ender becomes the speker for the dead through the telopath connection between him and the queen.
