Chapter Thirteen
In Chapter Thirteen, Valentine and Peter are slowly taking over the media with their pseudonym as Demosthenes and Locke. Meanwhile, Ender is shipped back to Earth where he grows depressed and spend his time in the water at the lake. Graff picks up Valentine and bring her to Ender in an attempt to get her to motivate Ender to save the world again. After talking, Ender stood up and accepted the fact that he has to go to war with the Buggers in order for people to live. Ender and Graff then go on a voyage to Eros. On the trip, Ender had asked Graff whether or not he knew why they were going to war with Bugger and Graff had told him that he doesn’t really know. That the entire war could have been a misunderstanding, but when a species is at stake, there is no choice but to attack.
Chapter Fourteen
In Chapter Fourteen, Ender travels to Eros to complete his mission of being a commander and to graduate from command school. There a new character is introduced; Admiral Chamrajnagar; him and Colonel Graff dislike each other, but tolerated each other because of Ender. Ender spends all his time playing with a command battleship stimulator. When he later complained to Graff how easy the game was becoming, he then got a teacher, Mazer Rackham. After some time with the new stimulator, Ender controlled an entire fleet with the help of Rackham. Slowly, Ender is not happy and he breaks down physically because of all the stress that the battles are causing him. Then one day, Mazer tells him that the battle will be his final examination in Command School. When Ender went to go test and he had destroyed and enemy’s planet, the room erupted in cheer. Later, Ender finds out that the battle was real and that he was actually a fleet commander. Ender felt betrayed and hated himself, because he had destroyed an entire race.
Chapter Fifteen
In Chapter Fifteen, Ender is being tried for the murder of Stilson and Bonzo. He is more upset about the fact that he is not being tried for the death of an entire colony of Buggers than opposed to just the two boys. Later, Valentine comes to him and tells him that he can never go back to Earth, because Peter is in control of Earth. She asked him if he wanted to go on the first colonization ship to the bugger world and after much persuasion, he agreed to. When they reach the planet, the scene that he saw was the same one from the game he played and that is where he found a pupa of the bugger queen. She showed him the war from the Bugger side and Ender set off to find a new planet where they can repopulate. After his mission, he wrote the book “Speaker for the Dead” to explain everything that he had experienced. Before he left to find a new place for the bugger civilization, he asked Valentine to come with him.
