Document Summary

During a time of crisis, people want unity and come together for the common good: controlling speech. Enders game: never told the full truth, only what they want them to know. Irony: children are trained (paradigm) to believe certain things and once they believe them (right or wrong), it is hard to persuade them into thinking differently: being at the net. We can create any truth: new realities. Peter and valentine use their writing and persuading skills to produce a new reality, one they want to control.
