Ender And Valentine Analysis

Peter is always violent he has a good heart but he never shows it. At the beginning of the book Peter had told Ender that they were playing a game called Astronauts and Boogers. When Peter the Astronaut had caught Under the Bugger then he had put his knee on his neck. While he was on top of Ender he told him that he could kill him and say it was an accident. But Valentine told him he would tell everyone it wasn’t an accident. Peter told her that he would kill her to and say it was an accident and they had kept arguing. Then after that night Peter had gotten out of bed and

‘I am just like Peter,’” (Card 8). Ender´s realization “I am just like Peter” creates a sense of danger because Ender had attempted to dissociate himself from his brother in order to not turn into an aggressive person, for all of his life. Ender realizes that once they “Take [his] monitor away, and [He is] just like Peter”(Card 8). The readers are forced to feel the same sense of unknowingness that Ender feels with his newfound recognition. This creates a sense of danger because the reader likely desires to know what will happen now that Ender finally realizes he is just like his brother and is unsure of how to cope with that.

In conclusion, Ender is an overall better person than Peter, for the reasons that I have stated.

He becomes so reckless he doesn’t even realize he’s hurting someone until after they are on the floor, “It took Ender by surprise he hadn’t thought to put Stilson on the ground with one kick” (7). What Ender doesn’t realize is that he doesn’t even comprehend what's going around him until he see’s the damage. Just like Peter, Ender never leaves anyone without any pain when they are angered. Filled with hatred towards Ender, Peter never leaves a chance to physically hurt Ender, he hurts him so much that Ender repeats the same anger and ruthlessness towards others.Funny thing is that even Ender knows that he has Peter in him and that in reality, he’s not really the innocent kid his sister and family thinks he

People would provoke Ender and he responded with violence and then would realize that he is doing the same thing his brother would normally do to him. After Ender got his monitor removed, Stilson and his gang were picking on him but this time he stood up for himself using violence and ended up killing Stilson. He cried until the bus came, noticing himself changing due to the removal of the monitor. This was the beginning of the International Fleet manipulating Ender, they deliberately removed the monitor to see how Ender would react without it, would he be ruthless like his older brother or compassionate like his sister, Valentine. There are other incidents that has happened with Ender involved which could have been stopped, but they let it happen. The others were collateral damage to make Ender like this and it made him feel bad about himself which affected him even

While the distance separates them, the specific dynamics of their relationship fade into the background, but if Ender were to suddenly return to earth, even five years later, even as a war hero, Peter would likely treat him just the same, because Peter doesn’t change. At the conclusion of the novel, Valentine takes it into her own hands to ensure that Ender never returns to earth, knowing that Peter, now gaining power in politics, would use and manipulate his famous younger brother to give himself further sway. This remains true because “the id… does not change with time” which has also proven true for Peter in other instances (McLeod). With Ender gone, the Wiggin family moves away, much to Valentine’s chagrin. She wonders how Ender is meant to come home, to find them, when home is no longer where it once was. Simultaneously, Valentine knows exactly why the family has moved: “It was for Peter, so that living among trees and small animals, so that nature, in as raw a form as Mother and Father could conceive of it, might have a softening influence on their strange and frightening son” (Card 151). The Wiggin parents had hoped that the calm serenity of nature might find root in Peter, and as far as they are concerned, it did. Upon moving, Peter seems better than before. He does well in school; he does not torment his classmates.

Why is Peter in this book? Peter sure looks crazy at the beginning of the book, but by the end of it, he and Ender have made some sort of peace. Has Peter changed over the years? Or do you think that Peter’s not really so bad at the beginning of the book? We never get to hear his own thoughts, so could it be possible that Peter is just a typical bullying big brother and not the psychopath that Ender and Val think he is?

His reasoning for making so many bad decisions is based on resenting Ender, being mad at his parents, and upset with himself and Valentine. Peter resents ender for being a third, and being better than him. In chapter two, when Ender gets his monitor taken out, Peter is angry because Ender made it farther than him or Valentine. Peter is also mad at his parents. He is mad at them for having Ender.

Ender was the third child. He has Peter’s toughness and Valentine’s smarts and gentleness. As far as we’ve gotten in the book we see how Ender does not mean or want to hurt anyone, but he ends up killing Stilson and Bonzo. Both Ender and Peter want some of the same things such as ruling the world. Ender does think he is the same as Peter.

In the early pages of Ender's Game, Peter was on top of Ender, while playing a game of Buggers and Astronauts. Peter loses his cool nearly killing Ender. “Ender could not speak; the breath was being forced from his lungs. Peter might mean it.” (12) Peters hatred for Ender goes out of control as Peter nearly suffocates his own brother. In

She finally receives the worst punishment of all for her deceitful actions-- death. Similar to Lady Macbeth, Peter also does not receive a happy ending for his actions. At the very end of the book, Ender starts a new colony on a different planet, and Peter is the hegemon; however, Peter is dying. He contacts Ender “seventy-seven years old, with a failing heart” (Card 323). and tells him to publish his story that “speaks for me” (Card 323). After all of the manipulation and harm Peter has done to Ender, he finally talks to him. Peter’s determination for success obscures his brain, causing him to focus on personal power rather than family and friendship. As a result, Peter is talking to Ender as a sick, old man, with barely any time to live. This is detrimental to Peter, as throughout his whole life, he does not have siblings who truly love him.

They were practicly living his whole life! Of course this was done by using a monitor. This device helps the authorities greatly on being able to chose if these remarkable indivisuals are the right people for the job. When these so called authorities finally realize that Ender is the one that will save them all he is immedeatly retreived by Colonial Graff. When Colonial Graff reaches Enders home his parents were startled. Including his evil brother Peter and beloved sister Valentine, which in fact also had the monitors but had them reoved a couple years earlier. After a long discussion Ender accepts the offer and says his goodbyes knowing that he will not be able to see his family for a very long time. When Ender reaches the school he has no time to waste. The next morning he attends his first class. In class his smarts are shown when he cracks the teachers security system. This allowed him to send anything he wanted through his tablet with the name of another. He used this trick to his advatage by sending cruel but funny remarks in some elses name to his fellow class

She is empathetic, kind, and gentle. Valentine has always protected Ender whenever Peter tormented him. She was Ender's guardian angel and she loved him tremendously. Colonel Graff told Ender that his family would eventually forget about him and that they would miss him less the longer he is away from home. However, Valentine never stopped loving Ender. She always thought about him and always wrote letters to him even though colonel Graff cut off all communications between Ender and his family. Colonel Graff saw that Valentine's love for Ender and Ender's love for Valentine as a threat. He said, "the sister (valentine) is our weak link. He really loves her… (we need to) persuade him that he wants to come with us more than he wants to stay with her." (Card 16) Valentine is highly intelligent, just like her brothers; however, her compassion and empathetic nature ultimately eliminated her as a candidate for battle commander. She has the potential to be a good leader, but her empathetic and compassionate personality was unsuited for the strenuous and decisive work of a military leader. Valentine assisted Peter with his idea of using fake identities on the nets to voice different political opinions. She wrote columns as Demosthenes. Peter wanted her help because he thought that she was a stronger writer than he was. He also knew that she could easily convince anyone into her way of thinking if she wanted to. In chapter nine, Card wrote, "Writing was something Val did better than Peter… Val could always see what other people liked best about themselves, and flatter them… Valentine could persuade other people to get to her point of view - she could convince them that they wanted what she wanted." (127) Writing under the pseudonym Demosthenes, Valentine formed her ideas and writings so that Peter would ultimately rise to power at the end. All she wants is for Ender to be happy. Valentine is very good at manipulating and

enders game is about a brave boy that we see grow up in front of our eyes. it's a futuristic story about cowboys, and aliens. it's a military story about how to strategies, and work as a team to complete the mission. it's a story about growing up, and loving your family, and friends. On one instance peter apologizes to ender , and tells him he loves him, he does not know why he treats ender that way. to me peter was just an extreme older brother you see in the movies. He liked the fact that he took on stilson in the front of other kids, and showed them all whose the boss.

Ender’s brother and sister had a very big influence on Ender, if it weren’t for them being so smart the International Fleet wouldn’t have authorized Ender’s birth and if it weren’t for Peter he wouldn’t have known how to cry silently and Valentine helped him cope with Peter while also teaching him how to love and helping him when he visits Earth right before going to Command School.
