I think the book makes the case that none of them are really children, but really adults in children's bodies (with the exception of the first boy Ender accidentally killed).
The book grapples with these issues, and Graff is brought to trial for this.
- humanrebar 13y agoWhen I was a kid, I enjoyed the fact that the kids in the book were not infantalized and patronized. I remember being frustrated that people in real life confused youth and inexperience with stupidity and weakness. To some degree, I'm sure my love for Ender's Game is a result of the nostalgia of finding a story that didn't talk down to me.
- generj 13y agoYes! I think it's hard to fully appreciate Ender's Game as an first-time adult reader.
