Ch. 15 of Ender's Game and My Opinion

     Chapter 15 of Ender's Game sums up what I thought of was a good book.  This chapter explains Ender's life after the buggers' war.  He is still sorry for what he did to Bonzo, Stilson, and the buggers.  Ender did not want to kill anybody and says that he is not a killer.  Peter, back on Earth, has now completed his goal and has gained a lot of political power.  He, as Locke, came up with the Locke Proposal, which ended a war that could have lasted for awhile.  As Valentine said, "It was the moment he had been waiting for, to use Demosthenes' influence with the mob and Locke's influence with the intelligentsia to accomplish something noteworthy." (Card 311)  I liked how Ender told Valentine that the reason he was going with her was to learn more about the buggers.  He wanted "to repay by seeing what I (he) can learn from their past." (Card 314)  It was interesting that even without books in the bugger world, Ender still found things about them such as they cared for their young.  I was confused a bit by the ending of the chapter.  I did not get how Ender was Speaker for the Dead and what that meant.  It was strange to find out that the buggers had actually created a place that had the Giant's corpse, the playground, and the tower. 
     Ender's Game was an interesting book to read.  It explained how Ender, who was a six-year old boy, transitions from Battle School to Command school, then finally on to commander in which he defeats the buggers.  I enjoyed how this novel was full of action.  The games in the battlerooms and Ender's fights are a few examples.  Also, I liked how Card put in some unexpected twists such as in Ch. 14, when Ender is tricked into fighting the actual buggers instead of just a simulator match.  That really got me off guard.  All in all, Ender's Game was an exciting and fun book to read, which I enjoyed greatly.
