She helps Ender with this by threatening Peter's future dreams. Valentine and Ender have a very close meaningful bond. They are there for each other and protect each other from
This chapter is built upon the relationships between the siblings as well as the role Graff plays within Ender’s life. The computer situation, which Graff tells Valentine about opens her eyes to the fact that there is much of Peter in her as there is in Ender, an example being Valentine and Peter working hand in hand for power. Valentine and Peter’s actions working to spread ideas in hope of rebellion demonstrate that the Wiggins will both have power in space as well as land (Earth). Although the duo has not yet started to rapidly spread their influence, it seems clear that Peter will get what he wants due to the fact that his intellect is matched only by his ambition, to which he will use to manipulate almost anyone. The question that coincides
Enders Game. The point of view that this story uses is Limited Omniscient, because the author uses words like He, she, they, on parts of the story that involve other characters, but the narrator spends most of his time on Ender Wiggins part of the story. Some examples of this from the story.
Ender’s promotion to a “Toon Leader” of Phoenix army and the facilitator of trainings to Launchies, leaves him with little time for his friends. Over time his camaraderie with his friends deteriorates and he struggles to be sincere with anyone. This is exemplified when Ender thinks “But with his old friends there was no laughter, no remembering. Just work” (Card 139). At the same time, Ender misses his early years at the Battle School.
The Ender’s Game book provided more detail of Ender’s siblings. In the text, we learned more about the attitudes and views of Peter and Valentine before he was sent off to Battle School. Peter always thought he should be the one going to fight off the buggers, not Andrew “Ender”. Valentine and Peter would always call him “Third”. Also, the book provided the alter egos Demosthenes and Locke.
In the book “Ender’s Game,” Ender, the books’ protagonist is the hero of the story. Many of the characters in and out of the book and at times even Ender himself had viewed him as a villain. This is due to the fact that Ender on occassion displayed aggression towards others, though with good intentions.
In the book, after Valentine asks Peter where the parents are, Peter sharply replies to Valentine, “Mom’s out. I’m in charge.” (Card 10) Because Peter is older and bigger in size, he has the upper hand in controlling his younger siblings. Ender and Valentine know what he is capable of and are very nervous whenever he takes control of things. Later in the excerpt, Peter tells Valentine to, “Keep your fat face out of it, fart mouth.”
Even though the setting of the book Ender’s Game and reality are totally different, the problems in both scenarios surprisingly similar. The book expresses problems that are made from people in reality but in a different way. First, in the book it is said, “Valentine… used her as a tool to work on Ender” (Card, 172). In the book, it was a flashback Ender had to swear to himself he would never cry. From a threat about Valentine, Ender was forced to go to Battle school.
This causes problems only to himself when he refuses to acknowledge Ender’s potential in battles making him look foolish to other characters. Violence and revenge is his way to solve his problems, but it ultimately fails and creates more. He doesn’t enforce discipline but destroys
Though Valentine’s actual motive for attempting to make contact with his ticklish knee was to console him, Ender considered it an act of peril, judging Valentine’s intention as harm to him. As an unintended consequence, Valentine’s perception of Ender has significantly modified for the worse. “A very small, fragile boy who needed her protection. Not this cold-eyed, dark-skinned manling who kills wasps with his fingers.” Ender’s colossal character change essentially reveals what Card inevitably understood he would become: a clone of Peter’s daunting characteristics.
His compassion is proven many times, and one of them is the fact that he hates that he feels just like Peter. If Ender had no compassion, why would he have regretted acting like Peter? Ender is also very sympathetic to Bean (even though Ender tries not to show it) and Ender would see himself in Bean, how small and young Bean is but still so determined. Ender initially realizes that he is isolating Bean because Ender himself was once isolated and he wants to force Bean to flourish like Ender did. Ender also has so much empathy that he would think like the buggers, and could understand and anticipate them.
8). After that he compared himself to Peter—his brother, who is known for being an evil and cruel child. This is not completely true because of Ender’s gift of compassion and Peter’s lack of it, but Ender despises Peter and hates how he is becoming more like
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. Supporting quote: “‘So what do we do now?’ asked Alai.
In the beginning, before Ender left Earth, Ender used to get bullied in school by another kid named Stilson. It came to a point when Ender had to defend for himself. Stilson and his friends bullied Ender, so in order for them to leave Ender alone, he shows his aggression by constantly kicking Stilson while he was down. Ender did that to prevent Stilson or his friends from hurting him again. After leaving the room, he feels terrible because of the fact that he’s passionate and he didn’t want to hurt Stilson.
Importance of Violence Violence is more effective and necessary than other actions such as words during a fight against someone. In Ender’s Game, a boy named Ender Wiggin trains for a war in the Battle and Command School and encounters fights where his best option is violence. Violence is necessary because people need violence in order to win, to protect them, and because the lack of violence leads to loss. Violence is useful for winning a fight for example during the fight against Stilson, “Ender knew the unspoken rules of manly warfare even though he was only six. It was forbidden to strike an opponent who lay helpless on the ground; only an animal would do that,”(Card pg.7).
