Ender's Game

One reason why this is true is because Peter and Ender are working with two different commanders. Peter is commanding with. And Ender is commanding with Graff and soon became a commander himself. And then Ender has always been nicer than Peter especially to his sister Valentine. Ender views himself as an independent commander and doesn’t need any help from anyone else.

“Hey third, we’re talkin to you, Third, hey bugger lover, we’re talkin to you.” (Card. 6). In the beginning Stilson (a bully) comes up to Ender with a group of guys. They surround him and start to bully him. At first Ender takes it, then Stilson swings at him, and we see Ender break out of his shell. Ender not only beats him, but we find out he killed him. This is where we see Ender realize what he is capable of. After the fight, we see Ender go back to his quiet self. “Again a blow to the head. Go away Ender thought.I didn’t do anything to you.” (Card. 32). Another group of boys start

At the beginning of the story, Ender hated Peter for bullying him and his sister Valentine. His hate for Peter by the end of the book, however, seems to have changed, “Back and forth across the ansible Ender and Peter spoke, with Peter pouring out the stories of his days and years, his crimes and his kindnesses. And when he died, Ender wrote a second volume, again signed by the Speaker of the Dead” (Card 323). Moreover, Ender also chose to forgive the Buggers. Even though they were enemies, Ender tried to make peace, “And always Ender carried with him a dry white cocoon, looking for the world where the hive-queen could awaken and thrive in peace. He looked a long time” (Card 324). Ender worked to repay the Buggers since he had destroyed their entire species. He was able to forgive the buggers for attacking Earth and kept the Bugger’s civilization going, and was also able to forgive Peter for treating him and Valentine so

As evidence, “Ender, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I know how it feels, I’m sorry, I’m your brother, I love you” (15). Peter’s attitude towards Ender was usually violent as Peter liked to beat up Ender and threaten him along with Valentine. Peter had also just beat up Ender after he had gotten his monitor out however, Peter was apologizing to Ender for the things that he’s done. Peter seems to regret his past decisions as an older brother and wants to change for the better. There isn’t enough of plot to conclude that Peter has truly changed his attitude towards Ender as he seemed to still threaten Valentine and is still sadistic. It could be that Peter was just saying that to mess with Ender or Peter truly had a struggle for identity and he truly regretted his

Ender believes that he is a brutal person and sees his actions as nothing but pure destruction. He is ashamed of his inability to control his actions and believes that deep down he wants to cause pain of that immensity; his belief convinces himself that there is no hope for him. Above all, the overwhelming guilt Ender experiences causes him to struggle with believing that he possesses his

As a direct result of these rough games and threats, Ender developed a ruthless, battle- minded. He displayed this trait at the fight after school with Stilson while he was still on Earth and the fight in the locker room with Bonzo at the battle school. Both of which ended in the death of Ender’s overconfident opponents. In his own defense Ender said, “Knocking [Stilson] down only won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too.

In Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card, manipulation and ruthlessness are common themes in this novel. Peter is the big brother of Ender and Valentine and is gifted with sharp thinking and an extreme lack of compassion. Being a ruthless character who is driven solely by power, Peter eventually takes over the world and establishes himself as Hegemon, the leader of the world. Manipulative by nature, Peter also uses other’s weaknesses to his own advantage. Although he is driven by evil motives, Peter’s genius along with being ruthless and manipulative are the traits that eventually allow Peter to be Hegemon and establish world peace.

In Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, Ender Wiggin is compassionate, which enables him to connect with people, understand others, and repay his debt to the buggers. Ender is very compassionate since he understands others, even his enemies, like when he gets into fights with other people. For example, when Ender defeats the Giant in the game by scratching his eyes out, he realizes that he is “doing it again…[He’s] hurting other people again, just to save [himself]” (Card 115). The quote shows that Ender does not mean to hurt people like Stilson and Bernard. He just has to deal with them because that is what has to be done. He definitely regrets his actions and wishes that they would just leave him alone so that he would not have to hurt them. This shows

When against a threat in the fantasy game, “Ender did not hesitate. He stepped on the head of the snake and crushed it under his foot. It writhed and twisted under him and in response he twisted and ground it deeper into the stone floor” (117). Instead of feeling anguish upon seeing the snake struggle for life, Ender finishes the job with even more force. Ender’s ruthless eradication of the snake displays his diminishing resistance to commit heinous deeds. “ She turned to see Ender calmly crushing the life out of the wasp with one finger” (235). Ender doesn’t stop to even contemplate the possibility of bestowing mercy on the wasp nor the snake. He focuses solely on attacking them. Ender’s growing comfort to inflict pain shows that his presence at battle school, an environment that concentrates exclusively on triumph, has changed his

Peter, the oldest sibling, was stronger and bigger than Ender. He was also smart and strategic, but he was a bit too prideful and violent. He always picked on Ender and would torment and beat him in the games they would play.
