Enders game; Chapter 14 (Enders Teacher); Summary

Ender is a very smart student, he has now found the simulation games to be way to easy for him. Ender decides to ask Colonel Graff why that was. Graff did not seem worried and dissapeared the next day. Ender returns to his room in his room now is an old man. The old man does not speak for a long time but when he does he speaks about how Enders mind should more focused on the simulator than on his body. The old man tells Ender his name is Mazer Rackham. Rackham was a great war hero that is going to teach Ender how to defeat the buggers properly. Rackham and Ender discuss how the buggers are like insects how they have a hive and a queen that is in charge of the hive. Ender is to be the new commander and train all the squadron leaders. Those leaders are very fimiliar faces to Ender in fact they include Bean, Petra, and Dink. The new battles start off easy but gradually become harder. Ender is now more isolated than ever spending all his time with his teacher or on the simulator. Ender now begins to suffer more. He has nightmares, screams while he is sleeping, he can only handle bland foods, he bites himself in his sleep and becomes totally isolated. Rackham tells ender hes only playing video games theres nothing to worry about but enders physical stress gets the best of him and he blacks out. He recovers eventually and is ready for his last test. This test includes adults watching him very closely. This simulation is on a planet and its simulated at the end of an invasion. Ender set off a device called Dr.Device and destroyed everything winning the battle. At the end everyones cheering on Ender.
