Question 8: Ender's Game

* entry of your choice: Is there any scene in this novel that reminds you of any place you have ever been or visited too?

When Ender first comes to the Battle School, he notices that the walls are sloped or not normal and that the gravity can be changed. This scene reminded me of a place that my family and I visited to a very long time ago. It was a museum and they had this room that made you feel disoriented. The walls were all sloped and jagged and the floor was slanted. It made you fall over because it felt like you should be standing on the wall instead of the floor. I can connect with Ender through the same kind of gravity sensation that he had. Not having the normal atmosphere or same kind gravity can through you off, it can totally confuse you and make you dizzy. Therefore, through this scene when Ender first comes to the Battle School, I was reminded of the disoriented room in the museum that my family and I visited many years ago.

haha.. sounds very interesting! I would like to visit that museum. Tell me where that museum is! It must have been very strange for you to feel that way. Have you ever thought about living in an atmosphere like that museum for many years?
