Ender's Game Chapter 9

In Chapter 9, Valentine and Peter hatch a plan to gain more political say. They decide to made pseudonyms that they will use on the internet, because if people knew they were children then their ideas would not be taken seriously. So far, Valentine and Peter's plan seems to be working. This was interesting because if Battle School really is a fake, then Valentine and Peter are doing more to save the world than Ender is. I found this ironic, because Battle School is supposed to prepare kids to save the world and both Valentine and Peter were rejected from Battle School. Another thing that happened in chapter 9 is that Colonel Graff comes down from Battle School and tells Valentine to write a letter to Ender. Ender receives the letter but knows that they made Valentine write it. I believe this makes Ender angry, and convinces him even further that Battle School isn't real. Because the teachers at Battle School underestimated Ender's intelligence, their plan to make Ender happier did not work.
