Q. Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you thing about the passage.
p. 65 "Instead he signed off, put his desk in his locker, stripped off his clothes and pulled his blanket over him. He hadn't meant to kill the Giant. This was supposed to be a game. Not a choice between his own grisly death and an even worse murder. I'm a murderer, even when I play. Peter would be proud of me."
This passage is after Ender was playing the mind game and killed the Giant by digging into its eye. This passage is meaningful because it truly shows the personality of Ender after his personailty of Peter. This passage shows that even though he was angry and acted like what Peter would do, he felt guilty of his action unlike Peter. I think this is what ultimately differs Peter from Ender. This is also mentioned when Graff comes to Ender and picks him up the very first time at his home in Greensboro. The Battle School chose Ender and not Peter because of their reasonings or justifications. This also shows that Ender has both Peter's and Valentine's personalities because he can be cruel one time and then suddenly so caring the other.
