The mood of this novel kind of changes here and there, but it is mainly a glum mood. No, I do not find that this book saddens me in any way. The fact that a kid, six years of age is in the army giving orders and not being able to enjoy his childhood makes me mad. Well actually is does kind of sadden me because a kid that is six years old is being picked on and beaten up by older kids. He is just being treated unfairly, being threaten to be killed. In self-defense, he is killing people, but he is not noticing and he is also not being told. He is being trained and his being kept from his family never being able to see them again, except for his sister because she helps him move on. When he is being trained every one there is trying to break him down so they can find his weakness, but if they do that he would not be able to continue fighting because he would not want to. They do not break him completely so he continues to fight for everybody in space. He continues to fight and fight without even knowing that what he is doing is for real. When they moved him to Command school that early I realized that it was time to start the war and everyone in the book thought that he was just going to train for that moment. When he was told that he has just beaten all of them he broke up and said that he did not want to be a killer like his brother Peter. Ender had realized that he was just like his brother; killing for pleasure, but in reality Ender did not know that he was actually killing them. Ender thought it was just a game and he continued to play because he was made to.
