Chapter Summary : ' Fifth '

From the beginning of the book Ender was labelled a third by the elders he looked up to, he lived and grew up to prove to the elders that being a third does not mean anything and that everyone is the same. This goes along with adults and children, they are the same. Ender also proves this theory wrong by the way he acts. He is a very intelligent boy for the age of six and becomes even more intelligent when he is sent to battle school. He shows the battle toon leaders that although he is younger he can think and do the same as they can. Ender eventually becomes a battle toon leader at a very young age and once again proves that children have the ability to make good decisions without any adult’s help, by succeeding in all of the battles he fights. “Seven battles since your first battle, Ender”, said Graff. Ender did not reply. “And you’ve won seven battles, once a day.” (Card-228). Ender is a very dependent person and throughout the whole book he did not need much help from any adults. By the end of the book Ender proved that children can make fully intelligent decisions by themselves, without the help from adults, before they become adults

5. In HANESS, the men age 18 and over had an average height of 69 inches and an SD of 3 inches. The histograms is show below, with a normal curve. The percentage of men with heights between 66 inches and 72 inches is exactly equal to the area between (a) and (b) under (c). This percentage is approximately equal to the area between (d) and (e) under the (f). Fill in the blanks.

Ender has a lot to think about towards the end of the book. He had became a captain earlier then a lot of the other captains. Ender was a smart kid and his brother Peter was jealous of him because he got accepted to battle school. Ender also had a sister that was sweet and he loved her. Ender is kinda like both Peter and Valentine they kinda are the same in a way. Ender He killed a lot of people but he isn’t anything like peter. He also have a good heart but he’s also isn’t like valentine. He’s kinda mixed with both of them because he is violent but has a great heart.

Ender is more advanced than his whole class, despite being a Third (a social status level that is used as a derogatory term). Speculatively, this could be due to his involvement with the government or more likely (and a mentioned character), Valentine. Also, Ender seems to put on a gruff and tough exterior. However, when left to himself, he shows his soft side where he displays his true emotions.

139). In the beginning no one cared about little Ender Wiggin. Ender had no friends and he also had zero respect. Now right as Ender is getting more friends, everyone is giving him so much respect. He has improved so rapidly and people are almost scared of him, which leads to Ender getting all of this new respect. He feels like there is a wall between him and his friends, because now he has to relate to them on a whole new level. At first he could talk with them and be a kid around them, and now it is like people expect him to act and be more mature . Another quote that proves my point is “Ender Wiggin crying?” (Card. 151). He can not do things without people finding out, and they put him on such a high pedestal that Ender can not do certain things without getting

He believes Ender is naive compared to him. This quote from the book talks about how even the teachers are manipulators and liars, Ender realizes this and shuts himself out to everyone but his closest friends and Valentine. Finally, Ender

Ender has been made an easy target because he is an outcast. His character is a smart boy who is constantly being bullied for something that can't be controlled by him. “No, no, I don't want your help. I can do it on my own, you little bastard, you little third” (Card 2). Ender is described from his brother Peter not important. That Ender is just a third kid and nothing else is important. Peter calls Ender a bastard only because Ender is smarter than Peter and Peter wants to be the smart perfect child.

Ender goes through many hard things, including bullying, being overworked, sleep-deprived, and trying to not be like his brother Peter. While Ender is at school in space, Peter and Valentine try to gain trust of the people on Earth. Ender gets promoted to be the commander of the entire fleet. And with the help of his friends, and

Ender is different from the other boys because he wasn’t laughing and joking around like they were. Ender couldn’t recall any jokes, and theirs didn’t seem funny to him. “He was afraid, and fear made him serious.” (Card, page 28) Ender seems like the outsider of the group. He is acute and reserved, while the other boys are boisterous and rowdy.

Ender Wiggin was unlike most of the children in his school. He was known as a "third", the third child in his family. He, like both his brother and sister, had a monitor in the back of his neck, so the military could see what they did. Ender had his longer than his siblings and because of this, Peter, his brother, hated him. He constantly threatened him and picked on him and at school, the kids verbally harassed him. He got so fed up with it that one day, he beat up the main bully, not stopping until he was lying on the floor, weeping and in his own blood. Ender didn't want to do it but in his mind, it needed to be done. Valentine, his sister, loved him, despite everyone else's opinions. She was constantly sticking up for him and

Ender’s rocky journey to becoming a great commander can be broken into three specific periods; separation from everything he was familiar with as a child, initiation into his new life to school in space, and the life he lives after the final battle.

Another thing about Ender is he’s a commander of his own army after he was professionally trained. Ender was also sent to Eros which is a place Ender absolutely hated, when he arrived there he also met Mazer Rackham who was also known as Ender’s rival. Ender also gets bullied by his older brother Peter, Bonzo, Stilson, and Mick. Ender even had to fight during the bugger war with his army.

“I am just like Peter. Take away my monitor, and I am just like Peter.” Ender realized how he contains a little bit of power after he got into a fight with Stilson. Stilson was making fun of Ender for being a third, Ender could not tolerate his nonsense. After Ender hurt the boy he realized he acted like Peter. The monitor is affecting how he is acting toward other people. In chapter 4, Ender got into a fight with Bernard and broke his arm. On page 33 Bernard said “Left arm. Broken, I think.” Ender was very confused. He felt sick, he didn’t mean to break Bernards arm. He only wanted to catch him. Again on page 33 Ender explains his feelings after the fight, “I am Peter. I’m just like Peter. And Ender hated himself.” Ender had realized as a 6 year old, he contains so much

All that Ender does in the book shows that he cares about others, no matter what. Ender is cursed but blessed at the same time. What I mean by this is that when he fights all of the fights in the book from Stilson to Bernard to the Buggers, he beats them all senselessly to ensure that there are no future conflicts between them all. It says “Ender kicked him again, viciously, in the ribs. Stilson groaned and rolled away from him. Ender walked around him and kicked him again, in the crotch.”(6). As you can see, he beats up Stilson extremely bad, but then feels sorry for it. After the fight with Stilson, it claims that “Ender leaned his head against the wall of the corridor and cried until the bus came.”(6). Second, Ender is a dynamic character with different levels of characteristics that describe him in different situations. When he is fighting the giant in chapter 10 of Ender’s Game, “he burrowed into the eye, climbed right in, burrowed in and in”(51). He found a way to beat the giant without losing the game to the cheap programmers. So, this shows that Ender is a witty hero. Lastly, Ender is a very smart character. He very early figures out the adults at camp are trying to manipulate the kids to fight and destroy. Ender also figures out how to “counter” bullies that were trying to hurt him all the time. Not only can he counter-attack, but he can now take that skill and use it

Ever since Ender beat up Stilson he had viewed himself as “just like” Peter. Peter is mischievous and an awful person, he hurts people and it doesn't get to him. I think Ender may hurt people, but he is not just like Peter.
