I was reading Shadow of the Hegemon recently, and noticed that when Bean and Carlotta visit Greensboro, they refer to it as "The place where Ender grew up" and "where he killed for the first time".
I looked back through my copy of Ender's Game, and there is a passage where Valentine bemoans their parents' decision to move to Greensboro, which occurs after Ender has already left for Battle School. Meaning there is no way he grew up there, and no way he killed Stilson there.
I considered the possibility that they might have simply moved to a different part of Greensboro, but when Valentine is talking about the move, she says they decided to move to "North Carolina, of all places," which implies that they were previously not in NC, which certainly means they were not in Greensboro.
Am I missing something, or is this just an attempt by OSC to give Greensboro a more important role in the Ender saga? Which is fine, its a very small point, put I am rather confused.
Any thoughts?[/i]
