The I.F. did too much. They pushed Ender further than he could ever go, and it destroyed him. What Graff and Anderson did should not be legal. Ender suffered more than any other kid ever should. The I.F. should not have been so harsh on Ender. They could have taught Ender the same information, but still made him learn how to read, write, talk, and play sports.
My first point is when Ender was a commander in battle school they put more pressure on him than any other student. For intense, he had to fight battles every day and he had a lot less time to prepare for the battles. Every battle he had a lot of odds stacked against him. This made it almost impossible to win, but because Ender was so smart he was able to win every one. By the end …show more content…

Bonzo was killed in the fight inside of the bathroom, when he was trying to fight Ender. The adults could have jumped in and stopped the fight, but instead they stayed back and watched to see what Ender would do. The fight did not solve much, it only killed Bonzo and made Ender have worse feelings for the adults because they did not help him in the battle. Later Ender would realise what happened to Bonzo on his own, it added another reason for Ender to hate the adults. If they would have been smarter they could have saved Bonzo and maybe Ender wouldn’t have had a break down after the last …show more content…

They could say that what they did was necessary for them to beat the Buggers in the war. The problem is they were attacking the Buggers not defending. They could have delayed the attack and given Ender and all of the other kids more time to develop their thinking process more so they could fight much better later in their lives. Also they did not need to attack because the Buggers may not have invaded them again. They did not know that they were a advanced species at the time. Both species could have talked and shared knowledge together instead of fighting a very brutal war that killed many Buggers and humans in the

The whole time Ender had not been aware he had killed them, and the leaders were manipulating him for his own sake. They explain that they didn’t tell him that he actually killed both Bonzo and Stilson; so that he wouldn’t think of himself as a killer. Throughout the book Ender repeats that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone and doesn’t like that he has to be violent in order to be safe.

However, the majority of the battles he fights are constructed and orchestrated and controlled by the Adults. Ender lives in a military archetype which assumes humans are compliant, flexible, controllable pawns, tool to be used for the benefit of others. Ender’s insecurities,doubts and fears, as to why he is so isolated, how he is becoming more like petter, how he is an ostracized genius, all that sets him apart– make him diligent, sympathetic, preservant, resilient, flexible, and above all pliable, impressionable, malleable, qualities far more common in children.

In the scientific article, “Ancient mass extinction may have shrunk Earth’s creatures” by Sid Perkins, Perkins explains that the mass extinction that occurred millions of years ago may have a correlation to the size of organisms on Earth’s surface in the present. Perkins states that long ago organisms used to be the size of school buses, but information from a new study shows that the mass extinction caused most of the vertebrate species to shrink to the size of a human forearm. Lauren Sallan, a paleobiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, states that the one-hundred thousand year long cold spell which occurred about three-hundred and fifty-nine million years ago during the end of the Devonian Period caused the growth of glaciers.

When Ender was talking to himself he said,”the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can’t kill then you’re always subject to those who can, and no one will ever save you,”(Card pg.212). This shows that inaction can make people prone to lose against people who have power can have power over them because inaction leaves them open and defenseless to those they could restrain. This also shows that inaction leads to loss because Ender is referring to the fight against Stilson, Bonzo, and Bernard because if he had waited for the teachers to respond to call for help they would’ve overpowered him and he would’ve lost. After ender defeated the buggers Mazer Rackham told Ender, “you made the hard choice, boy. All or nothing.
