Document Summary
During a time of crisis, people want unity and come together for the common good. Enders game: if controls everything except the nets. How do we know that it is the truth, we are always making assumptions if we don"t know. How far will we go to question reality: 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. Dinks is aware of how they school has been using him. Propaganda simplifies things into good or bad. The concept of growing up is foreign to the children because they are being trained as weapons and tools, when your trained to be a tool you have no desires of your own. They don"t care about the way people are subdued, as long as it happens.
