Ender's Use Of Valentine Analysis

Enders personality is changing into his older brother, Peter. “Peter has mellowed, but you, they’ve made you into a killer. Two sides of the same coin, but which side is which” (238)? Ender has turned out to be more like his sibling, Peter, in light of the fact that Peter use to bully youngsters and Ender particularly, now Ender is harassing and utilizing his forceful behavior towards other students at battle school. Enders personality has transformed him to turning out to be more

Ender’s Impact “If you try and you lose then it isn’t your fault. But if you don’t try and we lose, then it’s all your fault.” In the second war against the buggers, also known as aliens, a lot of pressure rested on Ender Wiggins shoulders. During the first war, commander Mazer Rackham was able to defeat the buggers and keep them from destroying earth. In order to find the next Mazer, Col. Graff initiated a new military program.

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.

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

One of these major themes is Ender’s siblings. Peter, his brother, has a violent and reckless personality who aspires to take over the world, while trying to kill Ender on his way. His sister, Valentine, however, loves Ender and encourages Ender when he feels lonely. Another necessary part that has to be included in Ender’s Game is the part when Ender discovers that the simulator is the actual commander podium. This part is an important part of the story because this is when the bugger specie and home world is destroyed.

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.

Though each member of the family testified that they never believed him dead for a moment, the stress of the possibility weighed on them constantly. Comparably, the last time Ender ever saw his parents was at the age of six, at which point he was flown off to Battle School. After training for years there, he was a very different person, and was most likely barely recognizable to his parents. His older sister, Valentine, was the only member of the family permitted to see Ender when he went back to Earth for a short period of time. After winning the war, his parents were notified that it was, in fact, their son who had saved the planet from utter destruction by the Buggers, but whether it was was the son they had raised or one who had been hardened by the stress of competitive schooling was unclear.

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.”

Ender has a older brother named Peter who held a grudge an disliked him, also he has a older sister named Valentine who loved him and would do anything to protect him. Ender has a gift be being very smart and

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.
