Due Today:--
Ender's Game: We read Chapters 3 & 4 of Ender's Game. We then filled out the Good/Evil chart for those chapters.
Journal 4: •At the beginning of Chapter 1, Ender is told by the doctor that it won’t hurt to get his monitor out. Ender then knows that it will hurt. He says, “Sometimes lies are more dependable than the truth.” (pg. 2)
•Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain. Give an example.
•Again, in Chapters 3 & 4, lies and truth come up. At the beginning, the government officials discuss using lies or the truth to convince Ender to join the army. Ender even believes that Graff is his friend in chapter 4 because he told him the truth. Graff then says that means nothing even though he later tells Anderson that he is his friend.
•Why do you think the author made these two government officials, Graff and Anderson, look like liars even though they were telling the truth? What message is Card trying to send to his readers?
