This reminds me of: This little bit of introduction to the character reminds me of when I was younger and had to go to my great-grandma's house. She was one of those ladies who smelled a little funny (to a 7 year old) and would pinch cheeks and mess with my hair and clothes. Looking back, I realize she was really sweet, but I never wanted to go and see her.
Quote: The bell rang. Everyone signed off their desks or hurriedly typed in reminders to themselves. Some were dumping lessons or data into their computers at home. A few gathered at the printers while something they wanted to show was printed out. (p. 5)
This reminds me of: How I am always the last one to leave a bench after playing or coaching. Everyone else seems to be rushing off to do something else why I let my mind wander a bit and reflect on what just happened.
Quote: Ender knew the unspoken rules of manly warfare, even though he was only six. It was forbidden to strike an opponent who lay helpless on the ground; only an animal would do that. (p. 7)
This reminds me of: Wanting to win games or whatever but wanting to know that I beat the best. It's best to keep your honor when you win, instead of just winning.
