First Impressions

I am reading Enders Game.
So far I've only read about four chapters and the introduction. There are a lot of things i don't know but do, for example I know there was a war, and the war is still on and it is against the 'Buggers', however I don't know , why or when or for how long, there are just obscure details which, in the end, may not have been so obscure. I don't know if at the end of the book i'll find out about the war with the Buggers or if all I really needed to know was there was a war and they have to train children to fight it.

One of the first impressions I've had is people have begun to accept the war into their daily lives and they think about it but at the same time they don't until it comes and stares them in the face, for example, Ender and his brother Peter play war games, not video games, just like as some children play pretend but with war. Another example would be you can tell Enders parents don't think as much about war as they would have when it began until someone comes and tells them that Ender has passed the tests and can use to come with them to train and then fight the war, then they must have been thinking a lot about the war.

My last impression for now is that so far Enders Game has been really good.

Utopia-Distopia

City Of Ember

 The city of Ember is a Utopia style book about an underground city that was built when the government new the apocalypse was coming. Originally the people in Ember were supposed to come back to earth in 100 years, however the government forgot and they stayed much longer. The longer they stayed the more people thought there was nothing above, no life, no nothing. Soon people start to notice that Ember was only given enough food and energy to last for shortly over 100 years. Two characters decide they must leave the city to find out what is above.
