Ender's Game Final Chapters

I really did enjoy Ender's Game when I got to the end. I thought it was awesome that the whole solution all along was communication. People don't understand that fighting doesn't solve anything, you can see it in our world today, when Ender killed, and when Ender finally understood what the story was with the buggers. People are so quick to judge others, so we put up defence and hope that you are the greater being. But the truth is, everyone is just trying to survive in the place they were birthed. If everyone understood that no matter what kind of beings are out there, everything has a story . If the only way Earth was trying to communicate with the buggers was through violence, then of course the buggers are going to fight back. They wanted to survive just as much as the people on Earth. Ender understood that it shouldn't have been a race to be the best and defeat the buggers. Throughout Enders life he was manipulated to live a certain way and think a certain way. The school completely changed his approaches to situations. But many times Ender didn't like the way it made him, he seemed more angry and lonely than he ever felt when he was alone with Valentine. The school seemed to be a program made for people to figure out the survival of the fittest among young children. Those conditions are not meant for children. But through it all, Ender came out becoming the bigger person. He seemed to live a lot happier and healthier than Peter, who always seemed to be struggling to be on top his whole life. Through teasing Ender from the time he was a kid, as well as Valentine. He died knowing that he had made many mistakes though some good. Overall, the book was really good and I think that the ending was one of the best that I have had in my years of reading.
