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. 
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.
