These events show the government officials’ cruelty and inhmane treatment towards Ender. However, the government did not even bother to help Ender out in the least bit. As a victim in the government’s devious plan, Ender underwent a great depression, both emotionally and mentally. After all, the government initiated manipulation on Ender through the monitor, socially isolated Ender, and fed Ender endless lies to achieve what they wanted at the end. The government’s enforcement of abusive manipulation on Ender has affected his mental and emotional states. The government’s lies to Ender were wrong, and they need to be responsible for affecting Ender’s emotion negatively, since Ender especially felt regretful for killing the buggers. The government’s control and manipulation affected Ender emotionally, since Ender didn’t want to “become Peter” after decimating the enemies. Ender didn’t want to be a killer or murderer, but the officials had deceived Ender to win the war. It is clear that the officials had manipulated Ender through feeding him endless lies and going against Ender’s actual desire.

The other boys were talking about things – the big scoreboard on one wall, the food, the bigger kids. Card manifests another social isolation by quoting, “The fear stayed, all through dinner as no one sat by him in the mess hall. Also, the officials made Ender become brutal to other people, turning him into a murderer. The conversation between the officials depicts what they are going to do to Ender – to isolate him so that he won’t have any friends that might “distract” him from being a commander to win the war with buggers. Isolate him enough that he remains creative – otherwise he’ll adopt the system here and we’ll lose him‘’”(Card 27). “With Ender, we have to strike a delicate balance. The officials isolate Ender socially to help him concentrate on his training, so that he would quickly be ready to fight the buggers. The government took advantage of Ender’s ignorance in his childhood, taking away his privacy and manipulating him. The government has invaded Ender’s privacy, even before he was mature enough to consider any contracts between him and someone else. It also gave the government the capability to have an early manipulation on him. The conversation shows that the officials have closely monitored Ender, even before he started battle school and took his privacy away. We heard all that you heard, whether you were listening carefully or not. “‘We were connected directly to your brain. In chapter one, Card portrays how the government manipulates Ender through the monitor. How the government controlled Ender was inhumane, and the officials’ lack of recognition and reluctance on this issue eventually cause mental and emotional distress as well as depression. Due to the officials’ strict control of Ender’s life and his time in battle schools Ender undergoes a series of challenges and faces a social isolation. The teachers isolate and manipulate Ender on purpose to bring out Ender’s inner killer instinct like his older brother, Peter. Ender skips some ranks in the battle schools as he quickly learns the war techniques and skills. The government forces Ender to act the way they would like by monitoring him constantly, and tricks Ender into being a part of the International Fleet to fight against the buggers.
