Summary Of The Book 'Third'

Chapter1 “Third”
1.Ender is called the “Third” because he is the third child in his family. Ender does not care if he is a Third because when his classmates called him a Third he smiled.
2. I know Ender is intelligent because of the textual evidence in the chapter. The textual evidence is, “He always knew the answer, even when she thought he wasn’t paying attention,” (Scott, card4). This text shows that he is smart and always knows the answer.
3.Ender fears teasing from other kids without the monitor because without it Ender does not feel safe at all around them.
4. Ender forestalls Stilton and his gang my beating up Stilton. He beats up Stilton because he is the head of group so if he beat him up the others wouldn’t mess with Ender. He made
Ender’s father makes Ender feel that he’s a waste. His father was saying good things about how they had so much greater children and then the government didn’t take anything. But to Ender, it felt like his father was saying he’s worthless, waste of space, and a disappointment.
Chapter 3 “Graff”
11. The pretense the I.F. officer comes to his home is that the I.F. found out what he did to that kid at school. A textual evidence that says why the officer came to his home is, “They found out what you did to that kid at school, now they’re gonna make you do time out in the Belt,” (Scott, card17).
12. Graff concludes Ender is the one because they wanted to see what would he do if they took his monitor off. They were testing his ability, he passed the test. He passed the test because of not what he did but why he did it. So that’s why they invited him to the Battle School.
13. Enders parents resent him because they both had to renounce their religion. Also both parents are ashamed of coming from noncompliant families. Another reason is that they resent him is because all of the past they are trying to evade. A textual evidence that’s shows they renounced their religion is “They both renounced their religion…” (Scott,
Graff set Ender to be ostracized by saying Ender can be somewhere when the other boys are not going to be anywhere. Graff also says that he was the lone one to have the brains. A quote from the text that shows this is “Only one of you had the brains to realize that in null gravity directions are whatever you conceive them to be,” (Scott, card31).
18. I think the plans the military have for Ender is one day he can become a commander. They think he has the skills to do that and the brain. One quote that shows that is “He’s going to be commander when you’re still in diapers up there,” (Scott, card32).
19. What I think Graff feels about Ender is that he can become a good soldier one day. Graff also says that Ender is the best in the launch. I think he believes if Ender does work hard and he helps Ender that Ender can become a commander. Overall I think Graff has a positive attitude towards Ender.
20.Graff tells him to not talk to him because then the other boys think that Ender is kissing up to Graff. Also he says that if the word gets around that he is a teacher’s boy he will be iced.
Chapter5 “Games”
21.I think the military wants Ender to be isolated because he does better when he’s on his own. That’s because he believes no one will ever help him out. So like his isolation can’t be
