What Is Pathfinder, By Orson Scott Card?
There are many different paths that we can take and many different paths people choose. They all take us to different places some good, and some not so good. But your path is all up to you. Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card is all about people's paths. This book is a science fiction book and takes place on a planet named Garden far away from space as we know it and many years into the future. Rigg, Father, Param, Nox, Umbo, Loaf, Olivenken are the main and most important characters. They have to work together to escape the government controlling them to find out the truth about their lives, and find their own paths.

Another different example is when he trusted his mother before he found out her true intentions. Not good. Rigg has a lot of pressure on him, throughout the entire book.
