I like Enders Game so far. Although, I can say that it’s very similar in many other books I’ve read in terms of its plot. Such as, The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Divergent. Here is the plot based on what I have read thus far. Ender is a genius and is gifted with being more intelligent than some of his classmates. It’s unknown why this is but it can be guessed through the altnernate lines of dialogue at the beginning of each chapter. But Ender is not only a genius, he is also a war expert. He can come up with complex war strategy’s in his head to determine the outcome of certain events. He uses this talent against bully’s at school. This vital brute force is duly noted by whoever is watching him. Ender is then introduced to General Graff, an Ex Military

Marine who is now focused on a program known as battle school. A program that is filled with kids just like Ender who are being trained to fight unknown forces that threat Earth itself. Its definitely very epic in a way and finds a way to not sound generic. Although the only thing I’m not happy with thus far in this book is that it has a dinamic subplot with these kids that like to bully Ender. It’s not the bullying part that upsets me. It’s the fact that this plot has been done a million times, and it’s been done much better. I also think there are many more scenarios that could unfold in a situation like this. But maybe I will find that out later

Samuel Robert Thomson was born in 1929 during The Great Depression. Sam had a mental development at a young age and quickly learned the mysterious ways of time travel. Sam began to explore the universe and its wonders, and by age ten he had already known everything there was to know about universe. Of course when Sam became a much higher being, he had no other choice but to go into suclution in the mountains living the rest of his days as a hermit. he had spent the last hundred years studying the mysterious ways of baking cakes. And while in that hundred years he had discovered that cake was actually very deadly to its consumer. Sam immediately went public with this new information and caused a series of events that would eventually outlaw cake as a drug. It was dark time in Sam’s life (yes even more than The Great Depression), but he held strongly. To this very day Sam lives in infimy. Holding knowledge beyond our comprehension. Maybe one day we will know soon enough

You might be surprised to learn you have a blog. And you’ll soon have some of your work on it already. That’s how simple it is to blog! Crazy, huh?

You’re starting with me in Grade 9, so over the next four years as you continue to add work and examples of your writing / speaking to this blog, you’ll have quite a collection to reflect back on at the end of Grade 12. That’s how you’ll recognize how much you’ve grown in your communication abilities, by comparing the early work to what you’re capable of before graduation.

I hope you embrace this blogging task and experiment with developing a writer’s voice for yourself and enjoy the feedback you can give and receive from your peers. Who knows where this will take us, right?

 

Cheers!
