Basically, Ender aboards onto the space shuttle that will take him and a group of others boys to Battle School in space. They still want to isolate Ender, and they tell the other kids that he is basically superior over all of them. After that statement, Ender doesn't get a good start with making friends. During the ride Ender ends up breaking someones arm, but receives useful advice. He is told that for them to stop hating you, is being so good at what you do they can’t really ignore you. We are brought into the feeling and appeal of the battle school. We are introduced to the dorms and cafeteria. At this point Ender, has no friends because they think he is a freak or some sort. He is told from other another boy to basically fake it to make it with making friends. But Ender had a different plan, Benard the bully was very known in the community. He could boss people around and order them to do things. So Ender hacked in his computer and wrote inappropriate messages and sent them out from his account, basically blackmailing him. They meet up with their launch groups and begin to train.

They are discussing what Valentine's effect will be on Ender. Colonel Graff speaks with Ender alone, explaining that the first time Ender will get a chance to leave Battle School will be six years later. He talks about his relationships with everyone will be different with his siblings and his parents will stop missing them.Graff notes that more is at stake than Ender's happiness, he is needed to defeat the buggers, who wiped them out last time. Ender agrees to go and is on flight to Battle School. He’s with 19 other boys in his class, but feels isolated from them. Ender the younger brother of Peter and Valentine, Ender is afraid of his brother and loves his sister. Wherever he goes, Ender makes things happen. Valentine Ender's older sister is the only person in the world who truly loves him. She protects him from Peter, their crazy older brother. Ender's older brother Peter is a cruel and evil child, manipulator. He has the same ruthlessness that his siblings contain but without any of their compassion. These characters don’t have a strong relationship, even though they were all siblings one threatened to kill one. Some advice I would give to the main character is don’t let anyone bash you and stand above you. The characters relationship is mainly affected by the one that was picked by the military.
The book opens up with the introductions of two unknown adults that represent the manipulation in our main characters life, Ender. Every move he makes they are watching him. He is six year old child, that is basically being relied on to be the savior of the human race. They want to control this child because they are in desperate need of him. The unnamed people speak about how he needs to be framed around enemies. We also see the perspective of Ender's life. He is lonely, and only has himself for support. He is bullied or signaled out because he is a third, which is a rare sight because it takes the governments authorization to make it possible. His siblings didn’t work out for the governments needs. Ender later gets his monitor removed and believes that the military is no longer interested in him. I believe that the main character will come to realize that he is still being watched by the government and will find a way to escape the military. I believe that the conflict is himself cause what does the government want with him and why don’t they want everyone else that they “dumped”. I believe the book is interesting but once I get deeper into the book it will create more conflict and climax.
