Ender's Game by Orson Scott

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.
