Letter to a character (7 points)

Dear Bean,
I read about you in the book Ender's Game and I thought that it would be a worthwhile experience to write to you. You are probably wondering why I chose to write to you and not Ender who is much more famous. The answer is that for me, Ender was no more than a mean but victorious killer and commander. At times he was alright but for the most part that was what I felt. I think that you were very strong to stand up for yourself even when Ender made fun of you and made examples of you during the time that he was your commander in Battle School. When Ender was a soldier he had also been made fun of and he tried to stand up to the commander and it mainly worked but, in the long run, all the teasing turned him into a vicious person. How did it feel like to be treated as an example and made fun of? Did the other boys bully you? I hope not because in the book it showed that you were kind, took whatever life gave in one hand and gave back in the other, and made the best of your life. You never really got mad, even if there was a big problem. I hope all these characteristics are actually true and not just what the book wrote about you. One thing I was wondering is whether you knew that you were actually fighting real battles against the Buggers? The reason I am asking this is because Ender didn't know that and he thought that he was still fighting simulation battles for practice. Even though you were a very noticeable character in the book, it didn't speak very much about your past life. How did you get chosen for Battle School? Was your life worse or better before? Did you have any family or any-one that you really missed? If these questions seem too personal there is no need to answer them but it would be really interesting to hear about your life. One last thing that I reall wanted to know: When you where under his command, did you envy Ender because he was such a good commander or did you despise him the same way I do? I am just trying to collect different people's ideas and your opinion would mean a lot to me. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this letter and maybe even send some answers back.
Your friend,
Alina
