'He walked the short bridge to the door in the shuttle. He noticed that the wall to his right was carpeted like a floor. that was wherer the disorientation began. The moment he thought of the wall as a floor, he began to feel like he was walking on a wall. he got to the ladder, and noticed that the vertical surface behind it was also carpeted. I am climbing up the floor. Hand over hand, stpe by step......'(p. 29)
I have found out that the setting of the Battle room was interesting and memorable. The gravity of the battle room was totally different from where Ender used to lived. to say the truth, it was really hard for me to understand what Ender was doing when he was in the battle room and was trying to experience new things that other students didn't do. Although, I didn't get what Ender was exactly doing, the setting that was described in the book was interesting for the place was totally different from the place where Ender was living, where I was living. When I was reading this part, it made me imagine this room that was all covered up with blue couchy cushions and the each enemy's goal (the gate) was in a transparent plastic. Like this, the setting that was descirbing the battle room made me imagine a lot of stuffs which was a great fun to me. Because I wasn't sure how exactly the room looked like, I enjoyed imagining the sturture and the desgin of the battle room; therefore, setting of the battle room is significant to me.

NICE=] I agree with you. Because it was a sci-fic novel, I had to use my imagination and creativity to think of the setting of this book. I liked the part when Ender was practicing and fighting in the zero gravity room. Living in Earth with gravity, I wanted to be like Ender; thinking of how it would feel like if there's no gravity. I would be flowing and bouncing around the places. The setting was really unique and enjoyable ;)
