1. He was working his fingers to the bone. He really didn't have time for laughing nonsense.
ReplyDelete2. Sorta. I mean, he probably does think about it, but overall, I think he's working so hard, he really doesn't have time to think about anything. So, really, I don't think he has time to think about or even kill himself.
3. He has a story that would take many days to complete...
4. He keeps luring her in and weakening her shield and emotions for Ender. What a Richard...
5. He thinks that the snake represented Valentine. UH-OH SPAGHETTI-O'S!
-Mr. BuNgLe has a new love... NU-METAL! WOO!
1 Ender is now a leader and does not have time to laugh and hang out, he is very isolated now.
ReplyDelete2 I would not be surprised if he were suicidal, Ender has been separated from his family and is always isolated at a young age.
3 Its very ironic.
4 That Valentine is the only one Ender really cares about, and all he has been is depressed.
5 Valentine's letter makes him feel like he is being used and he no longer wants that. The Peter situation he wants to be kind rather than mean or violent.
