Welcome Sumerset,
Also new here. I'm 14 so I guess we nearly have age in common. I'm also an avid reader which people find odd for someone my age, and I am possibly the youngest member on this site. Looking forward to hearing some of your opinions in the forum!

To answer your question ptr.arkanian, there is a HUGE line between Peter and Achilles. First of all, Achilles was sickened by weakness and murdered anyone who saw him in his weakened state. Sure both Peter and Achilles were searching for power, but Peter mainly just wanted to go down in history like...

Its dramatic irony in the sense that WE(the reader) know the real personalities of Peter and Ender while the rest of the characters only know what the textbooks have told them. Ender might have been an innocent child who's mind was being manipulated by desperate people, but the future generations on...

That is true. I didnt really take numbers into consideration, but you cant say that Ender was thinking straight in the first place. He came to the conclusion that it was the best thing to do not because it WAS, but because his feelings of anger and frustration led him to that decision. In hindsight ...

The killing of the soldiers would have wounded my conscience the most because Ender could have easily used another strategy to destroy ...

If CG is used, I would be utterly disappointed. It would be like watching Beowulf with little kids! I hope that OSC is relying on the feedback of EG fans to produce it because an all CG movie would just be sad. They also need to get an AMAZING chld to play ender because if they mess his character up...
