FInal PRoject:
​Semester 1
What's the Connection?!Some of the works of literature I have read this semester, include novels in which characters use the knowledge they have to their advantage and to take a role of power. These adults do not think about their actions as lies but instead, these actions are only seen as benefits to their life. The adults do not think that the main characters of the three novels have the ability to process the information, so they monitor the information the kids receive. Despite Ender's Game, My Sister's Keeper, and Persepolis all being works of different genres, they all show the human nature of telling lies or the incomplete truth to get the result they want to see.

Ender's Game was more than a story about a young boy who set out to save the dystopian society they live in. It is a novel about the struggles that occur before and after Ender is set off into outer space to fight a war that he was born to win. The adults in this society did not treat kids like the children they were, but instead like pawns in a game of chess. These young adults not only were uninformed about the current events in the war they were fighting, but also the adults would lie to them about certain aspects of daily life so they would receive proper training. These adult commanders would mold these kids to be exactly what they wanted them to be, soldiers. In some countries in the real world, boys are sent to military academies and trained to be soldiers. The adults in many children's life will take advantage of the lack of experiences. The adults will manipulate the way they talk to the young people to make them think certain things about subjects. In American society, the way children hear news is mostly through their parents, and they make opinions about their news.
