Practical Philosophy, Wednesday
"Since we're quickly beginning to approach the end of the summer, I thought it might be worth it to examine the opposite end of the questions I asked you at the start," Ender said. "Specifically, how much have you changed since you got here? How do you see your future, on the island or off? Has the island been an interruption in your life, to be skipped past and left there once you graduate? Or has it forged lasting changes that will stick with you in the times ahead?"
He smiled briefly.
"I realize this isn't a particularly philosophical series of questions," he said. "But it's something worth reflecting on, not just with me, but between yourselves. I have a feeling your viewpoints will be as diverse as you are."
He sat back.
"But to pull it larger: do you think there's a shared experience here on this island? Something similar we all take away from it? Or none at all?"
