Post for 5/18


Describe the climax (turning point) of your novel. What is the main conflict? Does the protagonist win in this conflict or does s/he lose?

         In the climax of Enders Game, Ender, the protagonist is fighting a war against the buggers, (alien species who attacked earth) unknowingly. Ender thinks that he is taking his last exam at comanders school, but in fact he is commanding real platoons to execute real maneuvers against the buggers. It was Enders hardest battle against the "computer" untill he finds out that he was actually commanding real ships and that he wiped out a whole species to prevent his own species from being obliterated. Ender is rewarded for wining the last battle against the buggers with medals and promotions, he also gets a planet named after him and becomes the leader of a planet that the people of earth "commandeered" from the buggers before the last war. This was neer the end of the book so it makes sence that ender won the last bugger battle.
