Cooper Feltes
Speaker For the Dead
On pages 200-241, Jane, a character that lives through the network of computers throughout the hundred worlds who reveals itself only to Andrew, tells him to go to Lusitania to investigate the death of Pipo. Ender looks at a picture of Novinha, who sent out the call, to see such sadness and years of built up pain in her face. Ender, I think, has an immediate connection with her. He, back in his childhood, was put through the pains and stresses of constant alertness and constant usage of his brain, with little time to sleep. He was worn down to the point where he fell asleep during one of the most important live simulations of his life. Novihna is feeling the same thing. Her parents dead, she has had to deal with empty sorrows from people. She knows she didn't really have anyone to talk to before she had Libo there. Ender sympathizes, and heads to Lusitania.
