Ender's Game Chapter 11

In Chapter 11, Ender's army's battles begin. Ender's strategy to not make formations is brilliant. This allows his army to adapt to anything the opposing army throws at them. I also found Ender's conversation with Colonel Graff very interesting. Ender basically tells Graff that he is tiring out Ender's army and doesn't care about their school work. Ender also tells Colonel Graff that he won the fantasy game. This tells us that Ender believes that once he kissed the snake instead of killing it, then his journey was over. The most intriguing part of this chapter is when Anderson sets Ender up for a battle with Bonzo's army. Not only is this the second battle Enders had in one day, but Bonzo's army also got a head start into the battleroom. Yet another showing of Ender's commandeering abilities and his brilliance is when he manages to defeat the army even though they are hiding behind a wall waiting to ambush him. I think that Ender will continue to be the most outstanding commander and will thwart any tricks other armies try to pull on him, especially with his new addition of Bean's special army.
