The techniques used in this chapter are many because they put all the other ones from the previous chapters together, and it shows a clear picture of why Ender might end up being hurt by the procedure. This shows that Ender wanted to help save the world, but he wanted to make friends. Also I don't think that the procedure would be that successful if Ender didn't have any friends. Any human being needs friends to progress because it's part of nature. In my blog "WAR DOESN'T CREATE PEACE" I talked about how people have to do things without hurting other people. This would help the world keep and promote peace.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott
In Salamander Graff's procedure of using a younger boy is questioned by his leader. That's because General Levy doesn't know whether it will affect Ender so he really doesn't want to risk it. but Graff still doesn't agree with Levy because he believes that the young children are intelligent and they can handle the outcomes of the procedure because of their young mind nothing else could occupy their mind that much. "A child could handle the outcomes of the procedure, though it takes time,"(111)Graff said. He wanted Levy to be convinced because there was no one that could much up to what Ender was doing. But also in reality Levy didn't want Ender to be hurt in the end. It made me feel that Levy cared more for Ender's well being than Graff did.

In this chapter The Giant's Drink, Ender is put to a task, by other leaders of the procedure other than Graff. The group ordered Graff to leave the meeting because they didn't want Ender to be isolated anymore. They wanted to see how he would react around other children. This would give them a chance to see whether Graff's way of the procedure is helpful or not. "Can you please leave?"(90) said the officer. They saw that Ender's ways were changing and the procedure might fail. They wanted another way of doing that by indirectly placing Ender in a group of other children. They wanted to bolster his confidence. And when every child was put in the battle room to explore the gravity Ender bounds with Alai, Bernard's best friend.
The technique was to see how Ender would react around other children. They wanted to see how the other children would react around him. The leaders of the procedure weren't sure whether it was working. It is healthy for a normal human being to interact with other people because they might find out something they didn't know or build on the knowledge of what they thought they knew. The images manipulates the readers minds because you kind of picture Ender and a bunch of other children in a room with gravity. It makes the reader wonder whether there will be a place like that in the future. It reminds me of the post i put up that said, "can you predict.....well in a couple of years." That's because the book helps the reader predict something that might happen to Ender next. And that makes the book more interesting to read.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott
In Chapter five Games, the children arrive at their destination, Battle School. the leaser of their bunks is Dap that introduces himself. He also warns them that it is difficult and that they have to be able to defend themselves. While on the other hand Ender is so lonely due to the isolation. But when he's approached by another child at the dinner table he ignores him because hes not interested in what he has to say. And the other children really don't care what he has to say so they ignore Ender. Bernard, the boy that was physically injured by Ender surrounds him with a group of other children because he wants to get revenge. And the group teases him with another child Shen, that was too small to stand up to them. "You are an alien... "(71) They called them a bunch of names to make him feel bad, but it really didn't stop Ender to seek revenge too. Ender sends a message that makes fun of Bernard, but because he doesn't know who he gets angry at other people. It gets out of control in the room, but Dap stops the fight.
The technique of using Ender as their experiment is working for the procedure group because Ender is really nice if you don't bother him like Valentine is while he's really evil when someone messes with him just like his brother Peter. Being human and reacting is normal as long as you get what you want without severely hurting other people. I guess Ender is no longer feeling as horrible as he did when he hurt other people so the procedure is working out for Graff and his team. In my previous blog "You left... I will make another you." It's connected to this Chapter because Graff is trying to make someone else in another person's body.

In the fourth Chapter Launch, Graff does everything he can to separate Ender from other children. He wanted him to stand out as the smart child so he knows that he can do anything to help the world. And once Ender believed in himself that would help Graff's experiment. Graff was desperate to use Ender, but he never wanted to show him that because it would put a lot of pressure on Ender. Graff and the other officer had to carefully watch Ender because he was their last hope. They wanted Ender to have both Valentine and Peter's personality so Graff put it to test, he asked a question that only Ender knew, "Was that funny?"(53) When Ender laughed the other children said no. And Graff said Ender is right it is. One of the children pushed his head and Ender reacted by physically defending himself. After he was done he felt like his brother Peter which wasn't good because he never wanted to feel like that. Even though it made Graff feel good because both personalities of Peter and Valentine, Ender had adopted.
The technique was for Ender to have both the older sister's and brother's personality. With time it showed because of the way Ender was acting. To be human sometimes you can over react because that's the only way you know how to release the anger. And manipulation has a large effect on the book and the characters because it's the only way most of them get what they want. In my previous post I mentioned that "WAR DOESN'T CREATE PEACE." But in this book they are proving me wrong because the more they fight to get what they want is the more peaceful they feel.

In the Fourth chapter Launch, since Ender accepted to go to Graff's school he had to board the shuttle to go there. He is being separated from other children just like Graff wants because he's the main person for the experiment. But it's too early for Ender to realize what is really going on because Graff has a good way of doing that. But because Ender is nervous to associate with the children so he put on a serious face. "I looked serious to hide my shyness."(51) He didn't know how to start a conversation so he looked scary for other people to associate with him. But deep down in his heart all he wanted was friends. He wanted to feel normal.
the technology that was being used in the shuttle was unique. And it helped Graff put the procedure in action because Ender is isolated from all of the other children. To be human you need friends or people you can rely on because you tend to feel lonely. The language is used to manipulate Ender because he's the main asset for the experiment. Graff acts friendly to him, but he really is just going to use him and leave him there. In my previous blog "You want power... I got it" I talk about the people that really would do anything to get what they want. This gives less power to those that are being used. And it gives omnipotent power to those people that are using others because they can do what ever they want.

In chapter 3 Graff is the Colonel of the International Fleet(I.F) who wants to continue his research on Ender. He was surprised by how Ender defended himself from the bully Stilson, and when Ender the reason why it sounded intelligent to him. This made Graff want Ender more in his school. He looked everywhere for someone like Ender someone that was both evil like Peter and so nice like Valentine. He wanted Ender to have both personalities because he wanted his experience to work and because Ender was more like Valentine Graff wanted to make him more evil. He had to convince Ender to attend the school not because he was the only one that was able to help with the experiment but because if he Ender went not willingly the experiment wouldn't work. He convinced him by saying that no one in his family really cared about him except his sister. So, it was best for him to go live in the I.F school, because he will be helping save the world. "If you come with me the world will be saved."(32) he wanted him to help save the mankind because it was destroyed the last time they attended to do so.
The technology that was used in the procedure to find the person that will help save the world had to be used carefully. The Scientists wanted to save the world not to destroy it and Graff was confident that Ender was the last attempt who could be used to do that. To be human you have to find an easy of getting what you want and sometimes it can become more complicated than it had to be. And also convincing some people to do what you want might not be easy. The depiction of the chapter was to show that no matter how much education you have received sometimes you need a younger person's help in their life. In my previous blog "You want power.... I got it." I spoke about the fact that with technology you can do everything that you want and can achieve anything. Just like how Graff is using technology to save the world.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott
In Chapter 2 Peter starts when his parents talk about the situation of how Ender protected himself from the bully Stilson. They were comparing his actions to those of Mazer, but the whole family was worried about Peter's indignant reaction. And when Ender returned home he wanted to make peace with his brother, but he was bothered by his sister Valentine that was comforting him due to his loss of the monitor. Peter decided to play a game buggers and astronauts, with Ender who was four years younger than him. he ended up hurting him, sayin that, "...i will kill you..."(19) He wanted to kill him, but when people asked he wanted to say that it was an accident. Peter was told by Valentine that he wouldn't get a job in the future because of his past.
The techniques of the passage is to show that Peter hated his younger brother Ender so much he would do anything to eliminate him from his life. While Ender was doing everything to try to bound with his brother due to the cower that he felt of how he protected himself from the bully Stilson. In the end Peter apologized to Ender about his behavior and went to sleep. This left Ender wondering whether Peter meant his apology or if it was an act.

In Chapter one Third it starts with an enigma of a six year old boy Ender that had three older brothers. His older brother Peter was the most evil out of all of them. They both had a monitor inserted in them but Ender had it one year longer than Peter. The monitor was to help the Scientists to view the world as both Peter and Ender did. That made Peter hate Ender. Ender wanted to change all of that because he loved his brother and even though he knew that they would never become friends he wanted peace. He mentioned that, "... we might never become friends...'(2) He knew that Peter being so evil he wouldn't love him back regardless of the fact that they were brothers, but he wanted to at least try.
Young children might do something wrong to you, but in the end they really want to be forgiven because they barely knew what they have done. they want love and care and they don't feel comfortable when someone else doesn't like them, due to the fact that they are carefree. The purpose of the technique is that they show how caring young children are to people that don't care or hate them. to be human you must forgive especially the young children because they feel horrible when they realize that the people they hate supposed to look up at don't like them. In the book they used imagery to show a figure of Peter and Ender in the same room while, Peter was looking at Ender disgustingly and Ender was crying. The questions still arise as i mentioned in the Post "You left... I will make another you," that How will evil people be avoided? In the book they still show that there is no way to avoid them regardless of what you do.
