Ender's Charactisation chapter 1+2

"I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get" this quote alludes to the importance of Ender and in "or at least as close as we're going to get" states the disparity and increases the importance of Ender.

"Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt ... Some times lies were more dependable than the truth." this shows that Ender has a higher understanding of other characters and that he can understand them. This shows a higher intelligence through the way he interacts with other characters in the plot.

"Peter won't hate me any more. I'll come home and show him that the monitor's gone, and he'll see that I didn't make it either" this quote shows Ender's compassion towards Peter even though he still according to Ender hates him because he is jealous of the monitor

"The sister is our weak link. He really loves her" this quote emphasises Ender's compassion and personality towards certain characters (in this quote Valentine).

"'Tell me why you kept on kicking him. You had already won'
'Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win the next ones, too.So thy'd leave me alone.'" this quote emphasises Ender's calculating qualities through the reasoning of his actions.
