Ursula Sinnreich ursulasinne39f — A recommendation from Davis. A quick read until the last 70 or so pages which seemed to drag on in a hot mess of depressingness. The back says: Card has taken the venerable sf concepts of a superman and interstellar war against aliens, and, with superb characterization, pacing, and language, combined them into a seamless story of compelling power. This is Card at the height of his very considerable powers —a major SF novel by any reasonable standards. Generally, the world is at intergallactic war in which the “government” is recruiting people to help fight the battle against extra-terrestrial buggars. Yes, I understand that I just lost vast cool points with that brief analysis but the book was actually far more intellectual than I expected from a YA SF novel. In fact I sorta just assumed aliens would attack people would run, Will Smith would propose and that other guy would wear dark sunglasses and carry a sweet gun. However, there is definite analysis of the hegemonic prowess the United States asserts amongst the world and the inane idea that we can in fact rule the world but more accurately put the galaxy. Ultimately the discussion of hearsay and manipulation are overpowering themes in the novel. Creating a discussion of what we will do when mentally we are torn apart and challenged. Ender, the main character’s constant evaluation of his life, state and future are both fervent and disheartening. He is at best a child who literally has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Thus as a teacher my mind immediately goes to the idea of progress in and out of the classroom and how much weight and pressure is too much. Do we function under the idea that ultimately we can push and push and push until they break but if they are meant to do it they recover. One should automatically assume that for at least a good portion of our lives we should play, right? What happens if the need and idea for play is gone? Why don’t we just start apprenticing early as the book recommends and dismantle school and education for those who aren’t worthy, that would make my classroom life vastly easy. I really enjoyed the book although the last 80 or so pages make me think about slasher films and cutting myself it was so depressing. Redemption is a key theme but even Ender’s redemption is saddening and doesn’t provide an immense amount of hope for the rest of the world.
