14. Why do you think the author wrote this story? Where did he or she get the idea or the characters? What message do you think the author is trying to share?
The reason I think the author wrote this story is because he wanted to create a sequel to his two other books ''Enders Game'' and ''The speaker of the dead''. Another reason is he wanted to explain something or teach us about the consequences of our actions.
Where the author got his characters is from his first book ''Enders Game'' which
I think he made most of them up.
What the message the author is trying to give out is to care for all living things. In the book the council of the hundred worlds wants to destroy Luistiana because it harbors a virus called the ''Descolada''. The Descolada helps the Pequinoes ( inhabitants of Lustiana ) to reproduce and with out it they would all die. Enders sister Valentine is trying to convince the council to not destroy the planet but they wont listen. That's why I think the author's message is to care for all living things.
I think really not the same for you because i don't think that he never only got his characters from only the "Enders Game" and "Descolada" he could have made it up.
ReplyDeleteJustin, I really like your response! I found out that Orson Scott Card actually came up with the idea for Speaker of the Dead first. He wrote Ender's Game to explain Speaker of the Dead, but Speaker of the Dead was his original idea. I thought that was interesting.
