Chapter 2 – Peter
1. Was Peter joking when he threatened Ender and Valentine? Support your answer
with evidence from the novel.
yes I think he was joking because he says so later on the chapter
2. Why is Peter’s behavior at the end of the chapter so completely different from the
rest of the chapter?
I think this is because he has a change of character.
3. How do you feel about each of these characters (Ender, Valentine, Peter)? What
did the author do to help create these feelings? Give examples.
I like Ender, because he seems like the hero and a good guy. I dislike Peter because he seems like the villain and bad guy. I like Valentine because she seems like a mother figure.
Chapter 3 – Graff
1. What did Graff mean about evolution working against girls?
He means that evolution made girls caring and soft.
2. Ender is leaving to learn how to fight a war, yet he takes Graff’s hand. Why does
Orson Scott Card (OSC) include this action?
I think he included this action because Ender is supposed to be the person that saves the world but he's still a young boy.
Chapter 4 – Launch
1. Explain the meaning of the following statement: “Individual human beings are tools
that the others use to help us all survive.”
It means that individual people are used like tools to help mankind survive. Like a gun is used to fend off a bear.
2. Explain the following quote: "Isolate him enough that he remains creative -
otherwise he'll adopt the system here and we'll lose him." Your answer should
include the terms: isolation, creative, adopt, lose. They want to isolate him so he doesn't have friends and he doesn't adopt compassion so he can lose men and not think about it, and also so he can remain creative in his own way.
3. Did Ender mean to break the other boy’s arm? What does this incident tell us about
Ender? Is it acceptable to do despicable things for survival? Why or why not?
No, that he doesn't like being a victim, In think so because I would rather survive than die.
Chapter 5 – Games
1. Ender works hard to express his feelings in private and not show homesickness in
front of any other person. Is it healthy for him or not? What is positive and what is
negative about showing feelings? What is positive and what is negative about not
showing feelings?
No,because it's not good to keep your emotions bottled up, he doesn't keep his emotions bottled up, Positive you don't keep your emotions bottled up, negative others make fun of you.
2. How did Ender beat Bernard? Is this an unusual solution to his problem?
He makes a fake account and says things that aren't true.

harmful to Ender.
