Chapter 2
- (9) Who are speaking at the beginning of the chapter again?
- The military people whom are speaking at the beginning of the first chapter
- From what these voices say what can we speculate the ‘monitor’ allowed these people to do with Ender?
- From what these people are saying about the monitor and Ender, we can speculate that the monitor allowed them to see into enders life, and monitor his behavior and everything he does and thinks.
- How do the soldiers react to Ender attacking the bully?
- They were concerned at first but they were also pleased that he had strategical advantages for the such thorough beating
- What effect do the soldiers admit that they had on Ender’s brother Peter?
- They rejected peter which has made him jealous and angry
- What voice do we switch into when the soldiers section of the text is through?
- Valentines voice (Enders sister)
- (10) What is Ender’s sister’s name and what is implied by her name?
- Valentine, that she is a kind and loving person
- What are the two sides of Peter?
- He is both angry and violent, but he does have a weaker side to him, a forgiving and soft side, having both these sides torments peter inside.
- (11) What do we learn about the greater world from the description of the game that Peter forces Ender to play called Buggers vs. Astronauts?
- That there are no rules, it is a game that can cause pain, and Ender doesn't have any say or control in it. It is a way for Peter to take his anger out on Ender and there's nothing that he can do once the verbal contract is excepted by ender.
- (13) What informatioin does Valentine have that she uses to keep Peter under control?
- She tells Peter that if he was to ever hurt, or kill anybody, it would go down on his record, and what he is striving for so hard which is to be in government when he is older, and that would cloud whatever opportunity he may get later on.
- (15) Who tells the Enders to have 3 children? What does this tell us about the power of the government?
- The Government tell Enders parents to have another child, after they find that the first two children were either too strong, or too soft, they needed an in between such as Ender. It tells us that the Government have powers to do almost anything.
- What does Ender do at the end of the chapter? What emotional state is he in? Why?
- Ender thinks about Yelling at his father saying "I know I'm a Third, I know it, if you want I'll go away so you don't have to be embarrassed in front of everybody, I'm sorry I lost the monitor and now you have three kids and no obvious explanation, so inconvenient for you, I'm sorry sorry sorry" This shows that Ender is in a very hard spot with his emotions right now, what Peter says to him may attribute to this, but the main factor would be leaving his Family and losing the Monitor.
