< I've been talking to ender and his sister, Valentine. She's a historian. >
< Explain this. >
< She searches through the books to find out the stories of humans, and then writes stories about what she finds and gives them to all the other humans. >
< If the stories are already written down, why does she write them again? >
< Because they aren't well understood. She helps people understand them. >
< If the people closer to that time didn't understand them, how can she, coming later, understand them better? >
