Peter
Analysing chapter 1-2 (Peter)
In chapters 1 and 2 the evil inside the chapters is Peter. Peter is evil as he threatens ender and his sister Val to kill them this shows that in the culture of the world in that time most people are against the third child in any family. Also from these chapters you can see the American society has chosen to reduce the population of the world by implying the Chinese method of only having two children that showed promising result in the history of China.

The antagonist give a lot to the development of ender as a character the reason is as bulling make him resilient in the story this helps him to beat the buggers this shows a lot about American Society and even the whole of the Western Culture that it all revolves about war.

AGE
The age of the book has not changed my perspective of the book even with finding out that the book was published well before i was born. As the book has not changed and that the author has put the book far enough in to the future that it is still considered sci fi.
