 6. Sometimes we are pulled toward one or two characters in the story. We Identify with them or feel sympathy for them. With which characters do you Identify in the book. And why do you believe you identify with them ?

     The character in the book that I Identify with Is Ender Wiggins because In the beginning of Battle school Ender was the smallest and everyone thought that he wouldn't be that great but what did he do he proved them wrong he came out to be the best commander at battle school. Just like me I was the smallest guy on my Football team but I didn't let that stop me from trying to be the best and In the end I wasn't the best but I was one of the good players on my team.

2. Does this story or it's characters remind you of another story you have read ? Does it remind you of a movie ? How are they alike ? And how are they different ?

  Yes this story actually does remind me of movie , the movie is , " The Cabin In The Woods " , because both of the story's have like characters who are abducted and tested , Like in Enders Game he is chosen to go to battle school to train and be monitered , like cabin in the woods people are abducted and have to like fight these crazy creatures and have to find there way out , While the people that had caught them are watching there skills.
     They are alike because well In both Characters are abducted and are moniterd to see what kind of skill and talent they have and also In both story's they have to fight like creature's , Like In Enders game the have to fight Bugger's and in The Cabin In The Woods they have to fight horriffic creature's.
      They are Different because well the setting like In Enders game its in the future and in Cabin In The Woods its present time. Also the characters are different because Like In Ender's Game there's Kid's But In Cabin In The Woods it's all adults , Also the genre is different Ender's game is science fiction and The Cabin In The Woods is horror.

9. If you could ask any character a question, what would you ask ? If you could ask the author a question, what might that be ? Explain why you chose these questions.


     If I could ask any character a question , I would ask Ender a question . The question I would ask him is , How does it feel to be far away from what you love like your home , your family especially Valentine ? How much do you miss them being away and from them and being alone. I would ask him that question because I want to know how he would feel  because like he's far away from what he loves so that would be interesting to find out.
      If I could ask the author a question i would ask him , What had inspired you to write a story like this ? I would ask him this because I would want want to what inspired him to write a story about talented kids and soldiers , Did like he want to be a soldier or was he really talented or does he know people like that or does he just like the type of topic it is ? That's why i want to ask him that question.

Reading diary 2

12. Are you puzzled or confused about anything in the story ? What is it that confuses you. and why do you find it confusing?
  
      Yes im confused about something its that giants drink game because like i didn't get like if was a real game or just like a regular game or something it thought it was real at first but then it seemed like he could actually be in it the way it talked about it it seemed real so that really confused me.
       I find it confusing because like it didn't say anything about that game until he actually played it so i thought it was real life.

Part 1 reading diary

10. As you read today. What surprised you? explain how this will affect the story or how it changed your thinking about the story.

      The thing that surprised me the most today in the reading is that Ender is pretty tough because he beat up 2 bullies and hes only 6! The first bully he gave a bloody nose and put him into the hospital and the second bully he broke his arm i mean like hes pretty tough for a 6 year old!
       This changed my thinking of this story because like what i thought was that ender wouldn't be able to make it and get pushed around by bigger guys but that event made me think you know ender is pretty tough he can stand for him self if like another bullie went up to him he would probally hurt him too if he had to.

Prediction for Enders game

       I think that this book is going to be about a Guy named Ender Wiggin who goes into space to do some kind of task like fight aliens , and  the book looks like its an horror book with like monsters and horror in it , it seems the book is like a horror / suspense also it looks like it takes place in space so yeah the book is going to be about aliens and its going to be like human vs. aliens and i coul tell by what the cover look like , like there was aliens that look like meteors and there was Ender so thats why i think the book is going to be about aliens and suspense and a little bit horror.

A: Alex Flinn
G: Fantasy
Pages: 300
      9. If you could ask any character a question. What would you ask ? If you could ask the author a question. what might that be ? Explain why you chose these questions.

             So first of this book was amazing ! It had so much love ,  romance and my favorite fantasy ! So the character that i would ask is Kyle Kingsbury or now that he became a beast his name is Adrien which means dark one. So i would ask him , why are you such a jerk to people ? Like your friends , ugly people, fat people , non popular people and your maid . I chose this question because in the book Kyle is one of the popular and hot people in school and to the ugly , fat , non popular people and his maid he acts like a jerk he teases them , swears at them , lie to them , and he treats them like dirt and he is super rude to them that's a huge jerk and he's like that cause he doesn't want to like be seen with them and i don't think he wants to lose his reputation so he has to be mean and to be popular and hot . So i think thats why but i would want to here it from him. So i would like to know why hes like that why cant he be just nice to them and treat them like there popular too that's what i want to know and why i would ask that.
               So the question i would want to ask the author is , what inspired you to write this book ? I would ask him this because well every author write a book for a reason like dr. seus books he wrote them for kids and Stehpen king he writes scary books because he likes scary things . So i would want to know why Alex Flinn wrote this romantic fantasy type of book , was it because he loved some one or something else ? so that's why i chose that specific question.
