Chapter 15
1) What was really going on during Free Play, and the mind game involving the Giant's Corpse? Who's game was this? Who designed it? Who was a player to it?
2) What was the relationship between Ender and the Bugger Queen? How were they alike? How would you compare/contrast this relationship to the one between Ender and his brother Peter?
3) What is the relationship between winners and losers in a game? What is the nature of the enemy?
“It sounds nice. But I couldn't stand it. I've been offered the presidency of three different universities, on the theory that I'm an educator. They don't believe me when I say that all I ever cared about at the Battle School was the game.” (Card, 306)
Chapter 15-3: The relationship is one of scalable competition, from friendly to heated. As long as the friendship between the players is stronger than that ferocity, in the end their will be no problem. The nature of the enemy is another being, who can think an feel not too unlike oneself. Hurt them and they will react.
