One reason why this is true is because Peter and Ender are working with two different commanders. Peter is commanding with. And Ender is commanding with Graff and soon became a commander himself.

Bean’s intellectual brilliance is evident throughout the novel.

First, Ender was isolated many times inside the book inside this paragraph contains evidence of how it changed him. The main point of this section is that Ender turned because of the way he was isolated during this book.
Bean is a vastly determined young boy, all the way to the very end of his quest. In the great battle, he fights bravely against the Buggers and keeps his commanders together which would be unimaginable stress for anyone. Although, this four year old who is aware that this war is very real. When Colonel Graff asks why Bean does not freeze up during battle, “I don't freeze up because it isn't my battle. I'm helping. I'm watching. But I'm free. Because it's Ender's game” (Card 267). Bean shows his courageousness by allowing Ender to take the wheel, but agrees to keep Ender in check and makes sure he is doing everything right. To be able to confront the kind of stress it would take to do that, Bean would need limitless courage. Bean also represents humankind as he is battling the Buggers, being one of the brightest minds they have. Bean explains how desperate
In the book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, it starts with ender in school and being made fun of. After he beats up a bully, he goes home to deal with his brother Peter who also bullies him because Ender is a better specimen than Peter was. But what no one expected was that a representative from the military came to invite Ender to Battle School up in space. Ender accepted and went to live up in Battle School for years to come. At first, Ender was hated for being such a talented student at the age of six but was soon respected after he was able to beat all the other armies with just a bunch of little kids. Ender became the best soldier at Battle School and was moved up to Command School where he would learn to command
Bean and Ender have many similarities that set them apart from their peers in times of peril. Their intelligence made them the most promising weapon in the war against the buggers, rating highest among the smartest children in the world. This is surprising on account of the dissimilarities of their lifestyles before they went to battle school. However, before and during battle school Bean and Ender had to cope with being small. Ender and Bean were both prodigies in their time, but ironically they had completely different personalities. The similarities Bean and Ender shared took them to the top, yet their differences gave them the skills that helped them defeat the buggers and
Like nobody wants to be around him. Making him feel like an outsider, saying true love does not last. Ender could see resentment growing in the way the other soldiers shifted their weight and glanced at each other the way they avoided looking at Bean. (Page 161) this shows that endure cares about having respect with each other, and he wants the best for bean . ( Furthermore poor kid nobody's treating him fair ender gently pushed Bean back against the wall.)
Ender made a choice to go to battle school because Graff talked him into going like on page 22 when Graff tells Ender “that no one wants a third”, and he was smart enough to win the war against the Buggers on page 296 when Mazer said to Ender “Ender you never played me. You never played a game since I became your enemy.”. He wanted to win the whole war not just one fight because on page 19 Ender said “knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too. So they’d leave me alone.” Because of the decisions Ender makes he becomes a hero and a soldier. This has to do with us because we will probably have other wars and there will be soldiers who train and fight for us much like Ender trained and fought for the world. Ender at the beginning of the book is weak and not a leader. By the middle of the book Ender was strong and almost the leader of an army. By the end of the book Ender is a hero and the leader of a
139). In the beginning no one cared about little Ender Wiggin. Ender had no friends and he also had zero respect. Now right as Ender is getting more friends, everyone is giving him so much respect. He has improved so rapidly and people are almost scared of him, which leads to Ender getting all of this new respect. He feels like there is a wall between him and his friends, because now he has to relate to them on a whole new level. At first he could talk with them and be a kid around them, and now it is like people expect him to act and be more mature . Another quote that proves my point is “Ender Wiggin crying?” (Card. 151). He can not do things without people finding out, and they put him on such a high pedestal that Ender can not do certain things without getting
In the book, Bean is introduced as being almost a replica of Ender Wiggin himself; he portrays the same qualities relating to intelligence and courageousness. Beans age puts him at a slight disadvantage though; he is smaller than the other soldiers,

Many people look up to Ender. He's sort of like the hero of the lonely kids who may not fit in. When he
Ender is using his old experiences to teach his army, which shows him intelligent. When he was practicing alone or sometimes with Petra, he learned many moves and tricks, and now when he is a commander he can use those experiences to teach his army how to play better. Ender is being smart. He is been learning from other people and when he has his army he can use those tricks, so they can be better soldiers. He is making his army strong enough, and that shows that Ender is being smart. However, Ender never knows why he has been isolated and manipulated by Graff. For example, Ender thought that if you are a leader/commander you should isolate or manipulate only one person in your army, just because they are smart. One day Ender was talking to Bean and said, “Graff had isolated me to make me struggle, to make me prove, not that I was competent, but that I am for better than everyone else. That’s what I am doing to you, Bean. I am hurting you to make you a batter soldier in every way.” (167). Ender thought that what all commanders do. They always push one soldier, so they can make him/her a good commander in future. As he is doing to Bean. Ender never knows why Graff had isolated and manipulated him. These are some reasons that makes Ender a blended character in the novel Ender’s
