Ender's Game Summary

Content: The teachers know what is going on but stay out of the fight to ensure that Ender keeps relying on himself alone. Soon Ender's army is made to fight two armies at once. Though he wins, Ender is furious at Major Anderson 's continued changing of the rules and parameters of the game. He decides not to participate in the game anymore. Ender is transferred to Command School, skipping both Tactical and Pre-Command Schools, but first, Ender is sent back to earth for "a short landside leave." Meanwhile, Valentine and Peter, as Demosthenes and Locke, are beginning to have real influence in world politics. Graff takes Valentine to a lake house where Ender has been living, and she tells Ender about Peter's plan to essentially take over the world. Ender tells Valentine that he hates himself, because in order to beat his opponent, he has to understand him, and in understanding his opponent, he eventually grows to love him, and that it is in that moment--when he loves his enemy--that he destroys him. Valentine eventually convinces Ender to continue with his studies; the Earth and Valentine are worth fighting for.
