i have spent the whole day at home soaking up Card's
Ender's Game and i find myself so disturbed by the whole notion of the story. its really dehumanizing and the things the kids in the plot are subject to are monstrously terrible. it makes me feel like screaming at Graff and whoever are in charge of those children - for ripping away all they have; love, family and most importantly, the innocence of their childhood. argh. these books are really taking its toll on me. science-fiction novels are honestly a tad too disturbing at times. Walter Miller's
A Canticle for Leibowitz is another example of a thoroughly disturbed mind that wrote that book. and yet i have to say it is without doubt a thousand times easier to read as compared to EN3224's novels of Woolf and Joyce.
i'm feeling kind of wasted right now. i'm past more than 3/4 of the book and i realize that i dont exactly want to know the conclusion. at the rate the story is going, it seems that no matter how happy the ending might or
can be, Ender (the main protagonist) would never be the same and his childhood, his innocence, his very humanity has been stripped down to a kind of machinery-like state of being. arghh. this is
so disgusting.
at any rate, i'm looking forward to this evening's bsf. bj had already been assigned to a class and he would be coming for tonight's session! =)
every day is a new day ♥
