Does it make you feel better to know that in the next 3 books Ender does everything he can to help the hive queen find a new planet to start all over? As an adult, he has great guilt and remorse for killing them and his mission becomes one of trying to fix his mistake. Hope it helps a little.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-31768661055393792232011-03-23T18:56:54.396-05:002011-03-23T18:56:54.396-05:00Marriage does only have one definition.

On Orson Scott ...Thanks for the award by the way. <br /><br />On Orson Scott Card, I'm going to leave it up to you to google him. He's extremely vocal about hating gays (again google). He's also extremely intelligent. I know he knew what he was writing. And I'm a firm believer that writers pen intent into their writing especially of the caliber of Card. Go read his wikipedia article.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-92227859066649787092011-03-23T18:11:30.449-05:002011-03-23T18:11:30.449-05:00Oh wow!

Do you think it was one of those things that were intentional or just something that people kind of assumed?Brooke R.

I too read that book (a few month's back) and wanted to know if you caught all the allegory that Card wrote in the book. Bugger is a slang term for sodomite (in the UK) and basically it's a huge homophobic rant on how only genius children trained by the military will have a chance to put an end to the homosexuals that threaten to destroy the world. Being gay, I found the book extremely insulting.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-7662002302817625382011-03-23T16:48:39.315-05:002011-03-23T16:48:39.315-05:00Why thank you, Anna. ^^Why thank you, Anna. ^^Brooke R.
