“Just leave him alone”, Zebul angrily reacted.
“No”, Steve reacted, “he’s right, I know what my father expects of me. I just don’t know if I can do it.”
Before any of them could respond to him suddenly Mr. Jaclac appeared, the dragon training instructor.
“Today we are going to do something a little different, today we are going to actually hunt for a dragon.”
This was a pleasant surprise for all of them but Steve was a little perplexed on as to how they were going to find the dragon.
“I want you all to split up into pairs. Zebul and Leknik, I want you to go together. Treku, I want you to go with Tobink. Since you set such a good example Marika I want you to pair up with Steve, maybe he can learn something from you.”
His reputation had already taken a huge hit but now Mr. Jaclac had bruised it further by implying a girl was a better dragon slayer than he was. They were to go into the big mysterious valley where they were rumored to be. Although Steve was smitten on Marika she took it almost as an insult to be paired up with such a bad student.
He was wearing armor that Glek had given him, which looked pretty ancient, while Marika’s armor looked brand new.
“Where did you get that armor, looks like you bought it from a museum?”
“Glek gave it to me”, Steve meekly said.
“Well, try not to get me killed while you are wearing it.”
Meanwhile, Ragnog has just returned from battling their neighbors, the Cidites. Naturally, he goes up to Mr. Jaclac about his son’s progress.
“So how is he doing?”, Ragnog asked him.
“Pretty good, actually, one of the best in his class.”
Mr. Jaclac was too intimidated by Ragnog to ever tell him the truth about his son and his abilities. In truth, Mr. Jaclac believed Steve to be a horrible stu...
... middle of paper ...
... to hug his dear friend.
That night they had the greatest celebration of all as they toasted to the enduring peace of the dragons and humans. Ragnog realized that he wasn’t always right and in turn he had finally gained the respect of his son. He had always wanted the best for Steve, and now he had more than what he had hoped for.
Steve saw Marika in the distance wearing a beautiful pink and white dress, but he was a little apprehensive, not knowing what to do or so as she danced with another boy on the dance floor. As soon as the song was over he quickly went over to her knowing this would be his last and only chance.
“Care to dance?”, he said.
Marika was thrilled inside, this is what she had been waiting for him to say all this time. Ever since she realized he was the bravest one on the island.
“Sure”, she said as she grabbed his hand, “I would love to.”
Now, so Liang got all dressed up and waited and waited for Wong-Suk to come... and he finally did, but not to see her dance.
Ever since the snowball accident Dunny has been preoccupied by worrying over Mary Dempster, and now her son Paul. At the age of sixteen the small town of Deptford becomes too much for Dunny to handle so he decides to drop out of secondary school and join the Army. Dunny needed a change in his life, something to get his mind off Mrs. Dempster and the guilt he felt for her. Leading up to his departure to the War he never really saw much of Mary, mainly because Mr. Dempster told him to stay away, but also because every time him saw her he couldn't hold back feelings of guilt and remorse. This troubled Dunny, much more then he would ever let on. On the other hand, Boy was doing as well as ever, possibly due to the fact that he knew that much of the responsibility of Mary and Paul was securely on the shoulders of Dunny. Dunny knew this as well but it was too late to do much about it except leave.
As thoughts were swimming in my head about the horrible possibilities that could happen to my sister, I saw him. Lizzie’s long-time crush, as well as mine. It was Mr. Morris’ son, Benjamin. Mr. Morris stood up, his back to me....
That night was the great celebration where human celebrated with Ender Dragons. Music was in the air that night as everyone danced on the dance floor, and seeing Marika in the distance Steve went over to her and asked her “Could I have this dance?”
...involving the confrontation between the mother and her son, Julian seizes the opportunity to berate his mother so she can see how ignorant she is and how he has elevated himself to a status higher than hers.

Who was that person that my brother wanted to kill?” she looks at the clock and its 9:15am “Crap I’m late for work!” Maggie got in her car and drove to the hospital for work.

I froze. I had forgotten about the dance and now was uncertain about whether I was going or not. "Yeah, probably," I answered. She nodded and we discussed other things, but my mind never wandered away from the question she had posed. Suddenly, the bus appeared and I climbed on and took a seat in the front. I needed some time to think.
"This is what I want. Why can't you support me?!" I replied. Father paced the floor.

“Dragons. Four fully grown, enormous, vicious-looking dragons were rearing on their hind legs inside an enclosure fenced with thick planks of wood, roaring and snorting- torrents of fire were shooting into the dark sky from their open, fanged mouths, fifty feet above the ground on their outstretched necks.” (p286)
