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

Ender lives in 3 major homes all of which contain the cornerstones of home for Ender. Ender’s first home is earth where he is constantly faces peters lies and is alienated for being a third with his only friend being his sister who is “ ‘his monitor now’, said Peter. ‘You better watch him, day and night’ ” (Card 13). This friendship is abruptly removed when Ender goes to Battle School, where “There aren’t any vacations from battle school. No visitors, either. A full course of training lasts until you’re sixteen” (Card 21). While in Battle School, Ender adopts it as his home because it exhibits the building blocks of what home is for Ender through Ender’s constant isolation and the lies from every teacher made Battle School home for Ender and Ender “wanted to go home, back to the Battle School, he only place in the universe where he belonged” (Card 225) even though during his first night at Battle School Ender felt “the ache was there, thick in his throat and the front of his face, hot in his chest and in his eyes. I want to go home” (Card 44). This exhibits the extent to which Ender’s isolation exists because even when he manages to feel at home, while completely disconnected from Earth, he is suddenly forced to leave and go to Command School. Command School “was hopeless … the ceilings were too low for the width, the tunnels too narrow. It was not a comfortable place” (Card 257).

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.

When Ender is at the battle school, it is evident that the training and harsh atmosphere is taking a toll on him, “Since becoming commander, he never slept more than five hours a night…Sometimes he worked at his desk…straining his eyes to use the dim display. Usually, though, he stared at the invisible ceiling and thought” (Card 174). Later, he is not even able to get a joke, “therefore Dr. Device. It was a joke.’ Ender didn’t see what was funny about it” (Card 273). When Ender discovered he was tricked into destroying the entirety of the buggers, he became depressed thinking about the genocide that he had just committed, “Real. Not a game. Ender’s mid was too tired to cope with it all. They weren’t just points of light in the air, they were real ships that he had fought with and real ships he had destroyed. And a real world he had blasted to oblivion” (Card 297).
