However he defends himself, unknowingly kills the boy, and heads home to fight once again with his bully older brother, Peter. Since Ender is six while fighting these battles, he isn't physically strong enough to defend himself. Luckily his sister, Valentine stops any violence from going too far and says this as a retort to a rude remark by Peter revealing her peaceful protecting nature as the older sister. ]]> 2017-06-09 02:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175818869 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175822522 A few years into his training in battle school, Ender begins to slack off from his work. General Graff goes down to Earth to convince Valentine to write him a letter to rededicate him to his studies. In order to convince her to do so, Graff begins to compare Ender and Peter to which Valentine responds with this quote. This reveals her endless love for Ender to defend him when the rest of the family has learned to block his memory out.]]> 2017-06-09 03:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175822522 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823052 Throughout her childhood, Ender and Valentine experienced the same torture from Peter. He always tore them down verbally, hurt them physically, and threatened to kill them. When Ender comes back to Earth defeated, Valentine has to convince him to get back on his feet and Ender describes his defeat begins with Peter. Valentine says this displaying empathy as she has felt this way from Peter too.]]> 2017-06-09 03:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823052 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823414 As Ender is describing his defeat to Valentine, he tells her it all began with Peter. She responds by telling him to beat the buggers to defeat Peter, to destroy him as he did Ender. However he tells Valentine that she doesn't understand the feeling because he doesn't want to defeat Peter, he never has, he just wants Peter's love. He is scared of the love because of Peter's torture, displaying a main character trait.]]> 2017-06-09 03:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823414 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823591 As Ender entered his last day of Command School, he was told to play the simulation war game one last time to be observed. When he won the battle he discovered it was no game but a real war that he just fought, killing many human lives. He never wanted to be a killer and is frustrated by the lie. This shows his leadership qualities and how he is so isolated from the truth of what his actions were.]]> 2017-06-09 03:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823591 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823874 Ender has developed a very noticeable physical strength during his Battle School years. However his mental strength has grown even more. Ender has such a powerful intuitive mind that can predict what game the generals are playing and why they are going to act that way. He says this to Bean to warn him of the dangers of the game and how to not lose yourself in the process of playing. This shows both his mental strength and intuition. ]]> 2017-06-09 03:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175823874 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175824712 His entire life, Ender has had to deal with bullies because he was small and he was a third. The only way he learned to deal with them was hurting them enough that they'd never want to come back to hurt him. This strategy is exactly what he used to defend himself when he was six and later in battle school. Both times he left too early from the fight to discover that he had killed the other. The bullies were an external conflict Ender faced and the aftermath effect of what hurting those boys had done to him was an internal conflict he struggled with daily.]]> 2017-06-09 04:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175824712 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825051 2017-06-09 04:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825051 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825083 2017-06-09 04:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825083 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825127 2017-06-09 04:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825127 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825273 Ender was very young when removed from normal society and put into Battle School. On top of being young he wasn't very social and Graff made him out to be a teachers pet that all the other boys would hate only to isolate and drive him more. Ender had difficulty fitting in and just as he was settling into a group of friends, the generals promoted him to a new group to upset his newfound comfort. His newfound friend, Alai, expressed his friendship with Ender through these actions. This caused an internal conflict for Ender, having to juggle being promoted and losing his friends while continuing to fight for his spot and place with the other soldiers.]]> 2017-06-09 04:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825273 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825808 2017-06-09 04:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825808 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825841 2017-06-09 04:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825841 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825887 2017-06-09 04:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825887 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825959 While Ender was preparing for battle with the buggers, he never truly thought that he would be young enough to fight. However as the battle began to approach closer and closer, the generals began to tell him that the Third Invasion would occur in five years time. In the meantime, Ender would practice through simulations. However, Ender didn't know that the simulations were real battles he was commanding. When he won his final "simulation" everyone began cheering and that is when Ender realized he'd been lied to. Ender grew angry and depressed at this realization and faced yet another external conflict of being lied to and the internal conflict of hating himself for what he had done during that time.]]> 2017-06-09 04:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175825959 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826336 2017-06-09 04:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826336 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826360 Uncomfortable in his own skin]]> 2017-06-09 04:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826360 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826394 2017-06-09 04:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826394 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826494 2017-06-09 04:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826494 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175826585 Ender had given up on the bugger war and on himself after he had unknowingly killed Bonzo and was promoted to Command School. He didn't care anymore and spent two months in isolation at a lake in Florida. When he gave up it caused tension between him and his friends, him and his family, and inside of himself. Until Valentine came to visit him and convinced him that he's fighting for the right cause, he was content with making nothing of himself.

He was ruthless and made sure to get all jobs done and yet compassionate with his actions. Ender Wiggin was a boy who had a tragic beginning but made it into a positive ending. Even after being lied to and killing so many in the process of winning a war for his world, Ender carried compassion and was angered by the deaths. He carried the bugger queen cocoon to lay somewhere on another world even after the race had tried to kill him and his people. No matter how difficult of a situation he was in, Ender always found compassion.]]> 2017-06-09 04:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827206 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827457 2017-06-09 04:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827457 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827655 2017-06-09 04:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827655 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827880 2017-06-09 05:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827880 katherinegreen018 https://padlet.com/katherinegreen018/eu6g5bypq9gw/wish/175827904      Throughout Ender's Game, Ender is constantly facing conflicts, both internal and external. He learns how to deal with them but is growing tired of constantly having them stop him from accomplishing things. He wants peace.
