Enders Feelings And Thoughts

     In my book "Enders Game" my character shows great emotion in my book. Ender is very emotionally unstable in my opinion. When Ender has kids and thinks that they are going to be just like him but what he doesn't know is that he was the best soldier there has ever been. 
     Ender has one brother who is so jealous of Ender that he is willing to kill the human race. Ender sends his kids to kill Peter but he captures them and kills one of them. Ender goes crazy starts trying to kill himself and all of his pride goes away. He thinks that he was the worst at being a father. Ender takes out all of his anger on himself. Ender decides to go kill peter himself. Peter catches Ender and says, " Ender its not that I hate you, its that, well I thought that I would get picked for battle school first but little thirdy did. I loved you, love you but you don't deserve what you got" I think that this shows how Peter thinks that life shouldn't come to you as easily as it did to Ender. 
    I think that my character is very confused that his life was fed to him like baby food, he was very clueless and now he is starting to realize that from his brothers jealousy.

My Summer Reading Review On Bud Not Buddy

     For my summer reading I read a book on the great depression, it was called "Bud Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis. I really enjoyed this book, it helped me realize how the great depression effected so many people, in their jobs, and their everyday lives. There were so many people who had everything before the great depression but then it happened and they had nothing, no money, no nothing. 
     In my book, Bud had no money and his mom had died. For the first half of the book he complains about how his dad had abandoned him and should have been there for him. The book takes you through the different types, and levels of poverty. At one point Bud and his friend sleep in a Hoover town. In my opinion this really shows that people had no money. 
      Bud is very defensive about his father. He doesn't show any fear through out the whole book, he is a real fighter and even though he is not real he is tougher than all the kids today. 
      I think that this is a very important book to read about both, history and self respect. Bud does not only show his will to get to his destination, but to keep fighting no matter what the circumstances. I think that it is important to learn about people in general and how people survived. Bud is a great example of that. In my opinion this book is not just a fun read but also an important one to learn about the great depression. 
       That is my review on "Bud Not Buddy"
