Enders armys first battle room practice The encounter in the hallways with Petra and the older Salamanders The final battle
Petra Arkanian is considered the wrong kind of friend to have in "Ender's Game" because she cares too much for Ender and challenges his isolation and detachment, which goes against the military's goal to isolate him and mold him into a ruthless commander. Her friendship distracts Ender from his training and causes him to question his identity and purpose in the program. Ultimately, Petra's influence threatens Ender's ability to fulfill his role in the military's plan.
Petra told him that Bonzo is going to fight with him and he is not that surprising, maybe just a bit but he knew it. - I just remeber a little becasue it so long , i had been reading that book 5 years ago.
Petra Arkanian is about 12 years old in "Ender's Game".
Petra Arkanian is a character in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. The book was published in 1985 and the movie was in 2013.
Both: brilliant minds; talented in battle; devoted to their goals; passionate Ender- innovative; willing to understand the Buggers; comes from troubled, conflicting past Petra- by-the-book; adamant in hatred of the Buggers; comes from loving Armenian family
Petra, Dink, Alai, Bean, Fly Molo, Crazy Tom, Carn, and Shen
Peatra teachers Ender how to move effectivly in the battle arena. She also teaches him how to shoot the laser guns and some good tactics for battle.
Petra is often seen as the wrong friend for Ender because her focus on personal ambition and competition can distract him from his goals. While she is skilled and driven, her approach may not align with Ender's more strategic and empathetic nature. Additionally, her tendency to prioritize her own success could create tension in their relationship, making it harder for Ender to trust her fully in the high-stakes environment of Battle School.
Well three main characters are Ender (obviously) and his siblings, Peter and Val. As for a fourth main character, it's my opinion that it's up for discussion. I'd probably say Bean myself. But while Bean is a large part of the latter half of Battle School, Alai is a pretty large part of the first half - so you could say Alai. And as a third possibility, you could say Col. Graff - he has a sort of overarching presence throughout the book.
Dear Asker, I sincerely think you should just read the book, it is... magnificent. Orson Scott Card (the author) did such a good job, but when people hear about how it has aliens in it coming to destroy earth, they back out. ****SPOILER ALERT FOR ENDER'S GAME**** In the end of the book, Ender is sent to an academy on a planet named Eros. It is very small and dark. He plays a game, very realistic where he can see everything in three dimension. He has ships, and the enemy too. And so every time, Ender manages to win the level and gain entrance to the next one. After a while, he became a little crazy, didnt sleep much and didnt have a lot of human contact. One day, a couple of Earth's leader came to see Ender play. Mazer Rackham (his mentor) and Hyrum Graff (his other mentor) told him that this was the last level. He put on the microphone and "played" the game with his friends from battle school (including Bean, Hot Soup, Petra...) At the end of the battle, Ender released a scientifically engineered bomb with the capability to destroy a planet. The bomb fell on the buggers (or formics) home planet, and destroyed the planet, along with every alien ship. Ender then sees all the Earth dirigents crying and praying to their gods, huging each other. Thats when Mazer tells him nothing was a game, it was all real, the war ended and Ender became a colonist with his sister. He then goes to another world called Shakespeare in the second book. Hope it helps, <(") Skba (")>
