  5. Petra

  6. Chapter 7 What are the key events in this chapter? • Alai and Ender • Meeting Petra and Bonzo • Practicing with the Launchies & Petra • Obeying orders – Disobeying orders • Bonzo’s leadership

  7. Chapter 7 Speaking with Petra, Ender silently identifies the adults in charge as the “enemy” (p. 85). Why is this significant?

  8. Chapter 7 Explain the Battles: • What is different during a battle? • What are “Stars?” • How do you win? • What are the “ratings?” • How do you know when a soldier is “dead?”

  9. Chapter 7 What does Ender learn about leadership from Bonzo? • Authoritarian or Authoritative? Find me three quotes to describe the problems with Bonzo’s leadership style.

  10. Chapter 8

  11. Chapter 8 What do we finally learn during the opening dialogue, between Graff and…?

  12. Chapter 8 What is the “Strategos?” What is the “Hegemon?” What is the “Polemarch?”

  13. Chapter 8 Define the following terms: • Xenophobia • Genocide

  14. XENOPHOBIA • Xenophobia is a dislike and/or fear of that which is unknown or different from oneself. The term is typically used to describe a fear or dislike of foreigners or of people significantly different from oneself, usually in the context of visibly differentiated minorities. “Xenophobia.” Wikipedia. Apr 28th 2010. Web. April 21st 2010.

  15. GENOCIDE "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

  16. Chapter 8 "Fairness is a wonderful attribute. it has nothing to do with war" (p. 97). Do you agree or disagree with Graff?

  17. Chapter 8 “[Ender ] believed, but the seed of doubt was there…it changed everything, to have that seed growing. It made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise” (Card, p. 111).

  18. Chapter 8 Describe the different leadership styles Ender has encountered through… • Bonzo • Rose • Dink

  19. Chapter 8 “Battle school doesn’t create anything. It just destroys” (Card, p.109). What do you think of Dink as leader?

  20. Chapter 8 “And then a worse fear, that he was a killer, only better at it than Peter ever was; that is was this trait that pleased the teachers…I’m the bloody bastard you wanted when you had me spawned. I’m your tool” (Card, pp. 118-9).

  21. Chapter 8 The face in the mirror represents a personal crisis for Ender. Whose face is it and why is this Ender’s biggest fear?

  22. Thank You.
