Both Books

Blog #12

                Continued from the last blog: I am still comparing the books, but now it’s more on the character and their lives. During the story, Ender is about six or seven and he ages to eleven and twelve then skips to when he’s older, and then older still. Marcus, on the other hand, is seventeen throughout the whole book. They have a big age difference, but in my mind, I think Ender is the older one, and Marcus is the younger one. Both boys are pretty smart, but I believe Ender is smarter. Ender was a commander at heart and he took everyone’s feelings and actions to mind and helped everyone get their assigned job done. He guided them and he thought everything through and even if he didn’t, he’d make it work. Marcus doesn’t look at the big picture and he does what he deems to be right. Only when he hears what is happening to other people does he finally realize that he did might not have been the best idea. They are both very smart with technology tough and can hack into systems and create new systems. Their families are different too. Marcus’s parents are actually a part of the book. They talk to him and help him and sometimes they get in his way and are stupid. Marcus’s dad wasn’t the best guy, I personally don’t like him for siding with the government and then he kept switching sides. I liked Marcus’s mom because she was with him the whole time and always believed him. Ender’s parents aren’t mentioned very much throughout the book. Only in the beginning and occasionally, but they don’t have much business with Ender. Ender also is better with his friends. He never lost any friends, he only made them. He did have enemies, but they weren’t his friends at first. Marcus, however, almost lost all of his friends. He did make more, but he lost Daryll and Van and he almost lost Joyl at first. He eventually finds Daryll though.

And that was my twelfth blog. The end!
