- Name one technique you feel the author successfully utilized in the first 4 chapters. In one sentence say what the technique is and how it is successfully used in the book.
- Find at least two examples of this technique in different chapters.
- Discuss how the author is using the technique in the section where you find it and why it is important to the novel. (You can not say 'he uses it to make the section interesting'.)
1. The author has used dialogue to create action, sense of movement and the personality of the characters, dialogue is used to give a greater insight in the characters thoughts and personality.
2. Page 7 "Oh, gonna fight me, huh? Gonna fight me, Thirdie?" Page 15 "Ender, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know how it feels, I'm sorry, I'm your brother, I love you."
3. The author uses dialogue to create a sense of action and description of the character's personality. In "Oh, gonna fight me, huh? Gonna fight me, Thirdie?" this section of dialogue describes the connotations of being a "third" and the fact that Ender is a third. The short dialogue and free flowing natural conversations to create realistic characters to reveal the character's personality, this is used in the section of text where after a fight with Peter, Peter walks up to Ender when he thinks he is asleep and says "Ender, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know how it feels, I'm sorry, I'm your brother, I love you." this gives a more compassionate and different side to the previously described character of Peter. Dialogue is used to create tension and action through short sentences and little to no description of the scene to add pace and keep the attention of the reader.
