Ender was chosen to go to battle school over Valentine and Peter, what is it about Ender that he has the qualifications to go to battle school while, Valentine and Peter does not have that disqualified them. I am analyzing Enders and peters characteristics and see why they did not get in to battle school while Ender did get in to battle school. Ender’s game is a very interesting concept about war against these aliens called buggers, and to defeat the buggers they are training this very intelligent child to command an army. The climax in this book is when Ender Wiggin defeats the buggers without even knowing, he thought it was a test; the situational irony was when he defeated the buggers he thought it was a test and he passed but in reality …show more content…
