Valentine And Coincide In Ender's Game

Peter got so angry. Brothers, though. Not enemies, not friends, but brothers-able to live in the same house” (Card 32). Before Ender left to battle school Peter was a type of person that got really angry and would fight a lot physically with Ender, just like a bully. This text shows and reveals Peters and Enders relationship they had with each other and how they were with each other. Ender reveals that Peter was a bully to him and was dangerous to him, however he loved him very much just like real brothers. In the text when Ender says, “brothers-able to live in the same house, it is kind of ironic because in the next chapter Graff comes and takes Ender away from his home and Peter to battle school. From this point on, this is where Peter’s character and attitude totally shifts into a strategic mindset and Peter becomes more independent, peaceful and unaggressive which was unusual coming from him. Valentine starts to notice this change in Peter and gets very skeptical on why he's become this person when Ender left. “Still, it was good. Peter never fought anymore. Never bullied. Got along well with everybody. It was a new Peter. Everyone believed it. Father and Mother said it, so often it made Valentine want to scream at them” (Card

Sigmund Freud is highly renowned psychologists known for his most controversial theories in the history of psychology. He is also believed to be the father of modern psychiatry and psychology. His works are read widely and are criticized as well. He has left behind numerous theories regarding human mind and behavior out of which some are commonly accepted and some are widely debated. The question after that arises now is “Why did Freud’s theories get many criticisms?”

Valentine and Ender’s Relationship in Ender’s Game Relationships are very important to have in life, as it lets people share their lives with someone they care about. In the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, Ender Wiggin has a difficult time making friends and connecting with other people. Being a third child is not easy for Ender, because people around him misunderstand and underestimate him, which causes problems in his relationships. In these situations, his sister, Valentine, is the only one who supports him. Throughout the book he faces many problems, mainly isolation.

Beginning before he was born there were many expectations based around him. Starting with Peter, his family knew they had really smart child. Then Valentine was born and the I.F. started to take more notice of the Wiggin family. The fact that the government allowed Ender to be born after Valentine didn’t work out, tells how desperately they needed a deliverer.

The book starts off right after the Wiggin family has moved to a different city somewhere in North Carolina. Not many details are given about Ender’s situation, how old he is(It tells you later in the book), what year it is. However I can infer that the book is set in the future, I would have to say it is somewhere between 50 and 100 years in the future. Ender has 2 siblings ; one brother, his name is Peter; and one sister, her name is Valentine. Having 2 siblings is very unusual and generally means the government wants and allows access for a certain family because of a special reason. In this case it was because both Peter and Valentine were genius and their next child, Ender, might be even smarter. Peter is a bit mean and ALWAYS need/

In the second chapter of the book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Peter and Ender play

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.

Which is very odd for his character that he has developed in the minds of not only the reader, but also his siblings. He skinned squirrels alive to torture them, while Ender would have tried to befriend them. Then suddenly he presents his idea of what will happen after the war with the buggers, not only has he found facts to prove it but he has also found the weapons and intel the Russians have been producing to prepare for this new war. He also cries right in of Valentine whether for his own personal gain is debatable, but even Valentine who would know Peter the best is confused by his acts: “ Suddenly Peter wept into his hands. Val assumed that he was pretending, but then she wondered.“(83). Although the natural response would or at least most commonly would be “he is faking it”, however even Valentine is too confused to even tell herself. It’s like the phrase “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer” however in this moment it is very hard to tell whether has actually changed in the end or not. He did save billions of

6. Peter acts toward Ender physically. He knows that the monitor cannot protect him anymore. So he can hurt Ender. The monitor protected him but now that it’s gone it doesn’t protect Ender. He’s now like both Peter and Valentine but Peter thinks Ender will never be like them. Peter thinks he is way better then Ender because he got his monitor taken off at a younger age.

When Valentine was asked to help Ender, she said she couldn’t do anything. Graff responded, saying... Ender’s problem with his older brother Peter is that he can never get away from him. Peter has left a mark that runs deep into Ender’s heart, that always sparks his ruthlessness and violence towards others that threaten him. However, Valentine can keep Ender’s evil side at bay whenever she shows him affection and love.

We know that Ender, as the third child, would not have even been born if the IF had not asked for him to be. Which was because his siblings did not turn out perfect enough, they weren't balanced enough, and we can see in the book that Ender, who's personality seems to be a mix of both Peter and Valentine, serves as a constant reminder to Peter that he was not good enough, that he didn't have his monitor in as long as Ender did: " Like us? He keeps the little sucker till he's six years old. When did you lose yours? You were three. I lost mine before I was five. He almost made it, little bastard, little bugger"(7). Peter, as an older brother, threatens, intimidates, and tries to control Ender, instead of being a supportive friend, brother and role model that Ender needed in his life. Ender craves Peter's love but knows he can't trust him. Ender also expresses many times throughout the book that he never wants to be like Peter, which shows Peters failure to be a good role model as an older sibling, although Ender convinces himself he is just like Peter a few

Peter Wiggins in Ender’s Game is seen by everyone as Ender’s sweet, charming older brother who is very skilled in school. However, around Valentine and Ender, Peter acts entirely different and is so violent to them that he nearly attempts to kill Ender in the second chapter. Peter also does a surprising job of manipulating Valentine because she is younger than him and he knows how to push her to her limit. Valentine Wiggins is more compassionate to Peter than Ender because she doesn’t like how Peter treats Ender due to the fact that he is a daily reminder of Peter’s personal failure to get into battle school. Although Peter knows how to manipulate Valentine to get what he wants out of her, Valentine has the ability to stand her ground against

It is evanted that Ender execrated Peter and his becoming of Peter. Usually this thought occurred when Ender’s defense leaves a staggering message: like the killing the Giant, Bonzo or Stilson. Although this thinking already creates a border between Peter and himself. Ender sees his enemies as life instead of an obstacle. In other words, unlike Peter, Ender feels ashamed and regretful when he result to violence. Although Peter wouldn’t care since he is willing to get any obstacle eliminated. Valentine is like Ender, she is compassionate. She and Ender both think there is another way other than death.

Psychoanalytic criticism originated in the work of Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, who pioneered the technique of psychoanalysis. Freud developed a language that described, a model that explained, and a theory that encompassed human psychology. His theories are directly and indirectly concerned with the nature of the unconscious mind. Through his multiple case studies, Freud managed to find convincing evidence that most of our actions are motivated by psychological forces over which we have very limited control (Guerin 127). One of Freud’s most important contributions to the study of the psyche is his theory of repression: the unconscious mind is a repository of repressed desires,

Most psychologists focus on recordable and applied data to postulate theories. However, Freud concentrates around the process of psychoanalysis and the unconscious to explain his. In the introduction for his essay, “The Oedipus Complex”, Freud boldly states, “Being in love with one parent and hating the other are among the essential constituents of the stock of psychical impulses which is formed at the time and which is of such importance in determining the symptoms of later neurosis.”3 This hypothesis epitomizes the whole essay and allows the reader to be introduced to the concept of the Oedipus Complex. Freud expands on this quote and utilizes the rest of his essay to convince his readers of his theory. Although this proved to be effective during his time, this epitomizing quote is invalid today and discredits the essay from the introduction. In 1910, Freud conducted a case study on Sergei Pankejeff, also known as “Wolf Man”. After analyzing Pankejeff, Freud diagnosed him with depression and an unhealthy phobia of wolves. Freud hypothesized his new concept of the Oedipus Complex associated to the abnormal behavior after Pankejeff witnessed his parents copulating at an early age. Freud stated he cured Pankejeff and consequently reinforced the epitomizing quote of “The Oedipus Complex”. However, just like the case study of “Rat Man”, psychologists later questioned Freud’s results and
