Ender Wiggin Quotes

Stilson groaned and rolled away from him. Ender walked around him and kicked him again, in the crotch. Stilson could not make a sound; he only doubled up and tears streamed out of his eyes.”(7) This quote proves that ender had crossed the line between self defense to hitting the enemy. This is could have been avoided if he just ran and found an adult after he put stilson on the ground. It would have been handled better if he did not kick him after stilson was on the ground. Ender did not suffer any consequences for killing stilson. “"Do you have any explanation for your behavior, young man?" asked the officer. Ender shook his head again. He didn't know what to say, and he was afraid to reveal himself to be any more monstrous than his actions had made him out to be. I'll take it, whatever the punishment is, he thought. Let's get it over with. "Tell me why you kept on kicking him. You had already won." "Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too, right then, so they'd leave me alone."”(19) This quote satisfies the statement that the IF is corrupt because they did not punish ender instead they called this a test and passed him.

“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

Valentine does go to see Ender. "For she had, after all, done just what they wanted. She had talked Ender into going back into his training and he wouldn't soon forgive her for that" (Card 242).

"All your tricks worked, Valentine, too; she was another one of your tricks to make me remember that I am not going to school for myself" (Card 244).

Ender does not want to be Peter, who was a cold-hearted killer. Ender was beginning to understand the buggers and find out their reasoning behind the war, but before he could fully understand, the I.F. made him defeat the buggers without even knowing. It also made Ender upset when he found out that he not only just killed one queen, he killed an entire colony and world of queens. Another situation that also upset Ender was when Ender killed Bonzo. Ender didn’t mean to hurt him, but he had to, for self-defense. “’Why should I want to beat anybody?’ Ender pressed his palms against his eyes. ‘I hurt Bonzo really bad today, Bean. I really hurt him… I knocked him out standing up. It was like he was dead, standing there. And I kept hurting him… I just wanted to make sure he never hurt me again’” (222). Although Ender disliked Bonzo, Ender loved him because when he truly understands his opponent to defeat them, he also cared for them. This not only disconcerted him, it made Ender despise the

On page 31, Card writes "The fear stayed, all throughout dinner as no one sat by him in the mess hall. The other boys were talking about things- the big scoreboard on one wall, the food, the bigger kids. Ender could only watch in isolation." Even in a new environment where he knows no one, Ender is still isolated and cannot manage to fit in with the other kids at battle school. As the story continues, Ender manages to make a few friends but he never becomes exceptionally close with anyone due to the fact that he is not like the others at battle school which the commanders such as Graff make very well known. Ender is much more intelligent and quick minded than the others, making his advancement in battle school quite rapid, leaving his acquaintances and the few he calls friends in his shadow. Ender's skills make him isolated since no one can even come close to defeating him, thus he cannot relate to his peers. At the beginning of Chapter 15; The Speaker of the Dead Ender, Ender is not brought back home to earth. Card formulates, " At first Ender believed that they would bring him back to Earth as soon as things quieted

These people wanted to manipulate Ender’s natural character by taking him from those he loves, Forcing him to depend only on himself and not need assistance from anyone. While this learned self-reliance looks good for the I.F, Ender will break after being detached from everyone he grew close to during this book. My point is the fact that it changes the way a person behaves, this passage explains how after they completed what they wanted to do (isolate him)he became depressed. I feel that a message the author was trying to send was that no compassion for the way someone else is feeling leads to ruthlessness. The people that were talking about Ender did not care for the fact that they were making a six year old depressed, this ruthlessness changed a shy boy into a sad, lonely

In the commanding part of the book, he was getting stressed and losing sleep, he went back to Earth because he didn’t want to be in battle school anymore, then his sister convinced him to go to Eros to train for the bugger war, when he was playing simulations of a bugger invasion, he finally defeated the buggers and Graff told him that the games were actually real, not simulators. After he beat the buggers, another war started on Earth, his sister met with him where he was and told him that he should be governor at another planet and went around to find a new planet for a new era for the buggers.
