Now in Enders Game, the plot is starting to pick up. The government visited his house and met with Ender and had a very deep conversation about him joining the military. Ender is hesitant at first to join because he would have to leave his family and not see them again for many years so that he can train for the military, but then the government starts to talk about how they have had special people like Ender before to help save the human race from the "buggers".

Ender decides that he will go to the military because this is what he feels like he was meant to do in life. His parents first child, was too aggressive, their second, was too mild. So the government made them have Ender and they tried to make him a mix of the two. Ender goes with them and it is a very emotional split, but hopefully he can stay focused and save the human race.

This week I'll blog about Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I have finished part 1 of the book and it is very interesting so far. I like the futuristic society setting and how the setting really contributes to the story.

The setting contributes to the story because the society controls everything that they do. It controls the jobs that you can have and it doesn't let you read books.If they were aloud to read books and the firemen still burned the ones that people didn't want then Montag would have had the books legally, instead of having his house burnt because it wouldn't be a crime to have the books in his possession. It would have also killed Montag's curiosity towards the books.

The setting of the book is a very big part in the book, and is the reason that Montag doesn't have a house anymore and might not be able to be a fireman anymore.

I just started reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Caro. Even though I'm not that far into it, it is a very interesting book overall. It has a futuristic setting and their are things that are very different then what we have from society today.

Ender is 8 years old, and he just recently had a chip removed from the back of his neck. This chip allowed someone from the government to look over him constantly and see what he was doing from his point of view. The government removed this chip when they felt like the kid could function without needing someone to watch over them. Ender is the 3rd of 3 kids in his family. His older brother is a really big jerk and bullies Ender for having the chip when he is 8, because most kids get there's out a lot earlier than that. Ender also has a sister that tries to protect him, but the older brother is too big for both of them so she can't do anything about it.

I think in their society fighting is allowed, but with some rules. Like you can't hurt someone when their on the ground because that's what animals do, and humans aren't animals. But also because Ender was getting picked on by a group of kids and he beat up the leader of the group and he didn't get in trouble for it. Also Ender and his brother play games around the house that has them fight a lot and hurt each other and nobody cares.

This book is very interesting so far, and I'm excited to get farther into the book as I keep reading.
