Name:

And you're sore as a boil, it’s according to HoyleTo cock your revolver and . . . die.

But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"And self-dissolution is barred.

In hunger and woe, oh, it’s easy to blow . . .It’s the hell-served-for-breakfast that’s hard.

"You're sick of the game!" Well, now that’s a shame.You're young and you're brave and you're bright.

"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.

It’s the plugging away that will win you the day,So don't be a piker, old pard!

Just draw on your grit, it’s so easy to quit.It’s the keeping-your chin-up that’s hard.

It’s easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;It’s easy to crawfish and crawl;

But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight — Why that’s the best game of them all!

And though you come out of each gruelling bout,All broken and battered and scarred,

Just have one more try — it’s dead easy to die,It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard.

Poem 2: I CryBy Tupac Shakur

Complete both columns of annotation the entire poem.

Paraphrase: Connect: What is the poem saying? How does this poem relate to Ender’s Game?

Sometimes when I'm aloneI Cry, Cause I am on my own.The tears I cry are bitter and warm.They flow with life but take no formI Cry because my heart is torn.I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confide in, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on.The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes...I Cry and no one cares about why.

Literary Luminary: Your job is to locate a few special sections or quotations in the text for your group to talk over. The idea is to help people go back to some especially interesting, powerful, funny, puzzling, or important sections of the reading and think about them more carefully.

Illustrator: Good readers make pictures in their minds as they read. This is a chance to share some of your own images and visions. Draw some kind of picture related to the reading you have just done. It can be a sketch, cartoon, diagram, flowchart, or stick figure scene. You can draw a picture of something that happened in your book, or something that the reading reminded you of, or a picture that conveys any idea or feeling you got from the reading. Any kind of drawing or graphic is okay – you can even label things with words if that helps.

Complete your drawing on a separate piece of paper. Staple this paper to the back of your packet.

Presentation Plan: Whenever it fits in the conversation, show your drawing to your group. You don’t have to explain it immediately. You can let people speculate what your picture means, so they can connect your drawing to their own ideas about the reading. After everyone has had a say, you can always have the last word: tell them what your picture means, refer to the parts in the text that you used, and/or convey what it represents to you.

YOU SHOULD BE THE ILLUSTRATOR FOR TWO DIFFERENT LITERATURE CIRCLES. ATTACH BOTH PICTURES TO YOUR PACKET.
