Ender's Game Questions Chapters 1-5

chapter 1
1) They lie to him because they want him to become an I.F guy.  They wanted to see what he would act like and be like if he didn't know that he had the potential to be the next Mazer Rackham.

2) it is sort of negative towards his parents because they probably feel like their fist two children were not good enough for the IF.

Its negative towards his brother Peter because one of the reasons he bullies Ender all the time is because he knows hes not good enough.

I think its positive towards Valentine because she really loves Ender and I think she likes the fact that she is the person that ender can lean on and that she is the person that can be there for Ender. if Ender was not there she would only have the ruthless and violent Peter.

It may be good for Stilson and his group because with Ender being a "third", they will have someone to pick on.

chapter 2
1) I think deep inside Peter was joking and that he really loves them both.

2)Peters behavior was different because he found that the only time to tell Ender that he was sorry was when he was sleeping. But Ender was not actually sleeping and overheard what Peter had said.

3)I think Ender is one of those quiet kids who if hes messed with will explode and really hurt someone like he did to Stilson in chapter one. I think Valentine is very loving and will stick up for someone if she has to. She always stood up and cared for Ender when Peter was hurting him.  I think Peter is very cruel and has fun in hurting things and people like Ender.

chapter 3
1)He meant that over time people came to look at woman as people who don't do any dirty work, and shouldn't do any dirty work.

2)I think he includes this action to make it seem like Graff is a friend to Ender, so that he can get Ender to come with him easier. I think that if Graff makes it look like he is Ender's friend, then Ender will feel more  comfortable and willing to go with him.
chapter 4
1) I think this means that normal people like Ender's parents and millions of other people are just there to possibly run the economy and there are scientists to figure out thing and create new things to then give to the IF to actually be the ones to save the world. The IF uses people for their technology and their jobs to have the money and weapons and all that they have for their selves   to be able to fight off the buggers again one day.
2) They're saying that if they isolate him from his family and the outside world, and keep him busy, he will not get caught up in emotions and be able to push forward and keep being creative. If is stuck in the same environment for time on end he will eventually adopt the system and figure out what its really about. If he figures out what they're really doing to him he will explode and will never cooperate with them therefore basically losing him.
3)  I don't think he meant to break the boys arm because he and the other boy were not experienced in null gravity. This tells us that Ender is the kind of kid that when messed with will really hurt someone if he has to. I think that its okay to do despicable things for your survival because i would rather do something like Ender did to the boy rather than be picked on and not have a name for myself.

chapter 5
1)I think its not very healthy for him because if he holds it inside all the time, he will eventually explode and it would definitely cause some chaos. the positive fact is that maybe he could make some friends who also show their homesickness, but the negative is that some people might think he is weak and then they would start picking on him. the positive of never showing his feelings is that he may be accepted into some group for having the look of some hard bad boy for never expressing his feelings. The negative would be that if he always keeps it inside he would possibly forget about his home and his family witch will make him emotionless in a way which is never good.
2)Ender beat Bernard by being a computer genius. He hacked the security system and mad his own file with his own system and wrote a message to all desks that said "watch out, Bernard is watching your butt". This made Bernard very angry all the time which made his friends not like him and then Ender mad his own little group of friends which left Bernard even more angry.  I would say this is unusual because not every kid can do what Ender did. It takes a lot of skill and usually a kid would solve his problem face to face, which ender found a way to avoid.
3)Ender deals with some of his difficulties by humiliating his enemy. This is helpful because it takes some of his enemies friends away from them which makes them a smaller enemy in a way.  He also deals with some of his problems by releasing his emotions and crying. this could be a bad thing, but ender usually does a good job of concealing it.
