Ender’s Game 9-11

Chapter 9
1)  I think that in the battle between Peter and Valentine Peter was winning and he had control because he is acting like he regrets with the way he treated Ender which makes him appear less angry and more kind.
2)  The way that the personas of Locke and Demosthenes relate to Peter and Valentine is that Locke was a liberal and that's the kind of writing that Peter was going for and Demosthenes didn’t want change which represents Valentine being against the war in Russia.
3)  Ender is still angry because when a letter from Valentine made it to him the letter just said that he wasn’t like Peter and he knew that Graff made Valentine write what he wanted her to write.
Chapter 10
1)  Ender was a very good leader because he doesn’t let anyone mess with him and he knows what to do.  He learned how to be a good leader by looking at the other leaders mistakes and being taught by Bink.
2)  Ender did the same thing to Bean that Graff did to Ender.  He singled out Bean as the smartest and the best so that he stayed alone.
3)  Salaam means peace in Arabic and the reason that this is important is that he is revealing his true religion and you aren’t allowed to practice any other religions in that time.
4)  The importance of this chapter is that it tells the reader how Ender feels about battle school and his perspective on what's going on.
Chapter 11
1)  The computer knows Ender very well because the government knows Ender very well so they give all the information about Ender to the computer.
2)  The quote means that if Ender loses any battles than the other commanders will see his weaknesses and it would give them a better chance of beating Ender more in the future.
3)  The teachers are pushing Ender hard is because he is supposed to be the one that saves humanity from the buggers so he has to be pushed hard in order to reach his maximum potential.
4)  The last couple of sentences in the chapter are important because Bean goes through a lot of things that could help them win but he thinks that they are all silly and wouldn’t help.
5)  Veni Vidi Vici represents the chapter because he came to battle school figured out how it works and then became the best.
