“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them” that show how Ender he loves all his enemies and everyone he meets and it hurts him to kill them.“So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other” this shows Ender finds we are fighting with the buggers for a stupid reason and it is all because they can't communicate with us and he thinks we should stop and be friends which shows he is loving. “Ender didn't like fighting. He didn't like Peter's kind, the strong against the weak” this shows Ener is loving and doesn't want to fight people unless it is a even battle or where it is a battle of being smart and not of strength. This was a conversation with Ender and one of his leaders “You made them hate me." Said Ender
"So? What will you do about it? Crawl in a corner? Start kissing their little backsides so they'll love you again? There's only one thing that will make them stop hating you. And that's being so good at what you do that they can't ignore you. I told them you were the best. Now you damn well better be." Said Graff.” That shows Ender doesn't like when people hates him and he wants them to love him so he can love them. “I didn't want to hurt him!" Ender cried. "Why didn't he just leave me alone!” That shows Ender doesn't like to hurt people and he is loving but if they fight him he has to fight

    At first Graff set him up for failure, he purposely wanted for the other boys to despise Ender. That led to jealousy, and kids picking on him as he “cried out softly with the pain” (Card 60). Ever since the beginning of the novel, Ender wanted to finish Battle School as soon as possible just for the benefit of others. His past life may have caused him pain, but now he still has so much to learn. As soon as Ender made the final move, the strangers that were surrounding him started to cheer.…

    I personally agree with what Graff has to say about individual humans are just tools humanity uses to overcome an obstacle. Though Ender wasn’t that "used" to the point he refuses to save humanity anymore, the way the officials handled him was as a handyman with his saw. They didn’t think of Ender’s own feelings, as they used many tactics to bring the monster out of him, leaving no mercy to his enemies as a result. It was effective, but very crucial to the child.…

Death takes a heavy toll on his emotions and the way Ender was being manipulated, he was made to do something against his beliefs. He’s the perfect balance between his siblings, but never did he once want to be like Peter, it’s everything he wanted to avoid. Graff and Rackham’s lies were used against Ender to control him and lead him to do things that hurt him for the benefit of somebody’s…
