Over the years at Battle School, Ender befriends Petra
Arkanian, the only girl in the army. He becomes a
platoon leader in Phoenix Army under Petra's command.
Everyone respects his brilliance and his practice sessions
are attended by many students.

Ender is made commander of Dragon Army and given a
group of soldiers. His army is given an unprecedented
number of realistic gaming battles to face, with
advantages given to the enemies at each level, but he
wins every one. Each platoon of his army acts as an
independent unit, and this revolutionizes battle room
strategy. He ends up beating out his friend, Petra’s,
Phoenix Army.

Ender is then transferred out of Battle School to
Command School and fights through more simulated
battles, where he now commands an entire fleet.

As a student, Ender’s life revolves around two kinds of
conflict. One is the constant rivalry with his fellow
students. He must always prove he is the leader who can
save Earth from the buggers, and physically and mentally
fights off bullies who also want to be leaders.

More importantly, he plays simulated war battles against
his teammates and the Buggers, conflicts that require

again.

Frame 9:
Include a picture of the message of the theme.
Frame 10: State the theme of the story in one
sentence. How is the theme revealed in the
book?
The question of what it means to be human is taken up
several times in Ender's Game. In the first place, children
are affirmed to be just as real human beings as adults,
even as the children are robbed of their youth. It is, after
all, a group of children who save the world.
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Ender-Game-Set-Going-Battle-School-Zero-Gravity40043.html
But more fundamentally than this, to be human is to have
compassion. The ability to feel for others is the mark of
humanity and Ender's is what saves the planet.

School on a space ship, where children are trained in
tactics to combat them.

Ender is one of the brilliant students who masters the

assaults.

Ender’s mind is his strength. He is gifted with the ability
to become his aggressor and think like his aggressor thus
giving him the key to the aggressor. He actually learns to
love them through their frailty, but uses his
understanding of their defects to exploit them and thus
destroy them.

The commanders of Battle School exploit Ender’s gifts to

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy,

very moment I also love him. I think it's impossible to
really understand somebody, what they want, what they
believe, and not love them the way they love themselves."
(p. 289)

Ender is telling his sister Valentine why he hates himself.
He is able to understand and show empathy to his
enemies better than anyone else. And he’s had lots of
enemies in fellow students, his brother and the Buggers.
But once he understands them he then destroys them.
This means that when he crushes them he is hurting
himself in the process.
