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.
