The last chapter of Ender's game has many events that change the way you see the rest of the book. After Ender defeats the buggers, many things happen. Ender learns that he killed Stilson, nd he goes to trial, accused of being a killer. Ender helps out on Eros, and learns to suggest rather than order, but doesn't have a big job because he is not much use in peacetime. Valentine tells him that Peter wanted to use Ender to become more powerful, and Valentine reveals that she blackmailed Peter into granting she and Ender freedom. She had gathered video evidence that Peter was psychopathic, and if she released it to the public, he would lose his following and all of his power. Then, Ender and Valentine went on a trip to colonize the other Bugger worlds, and establish the first colony. Ender is the governor and helps to make a peacefula nd prosperous colony. There aren't any major conflicts, and the people are no longer concerned with what happens on Earth. He wants to go to the bugger world so that he can learn about and understand the way the buggers think, what they feel, and to know their past. While he was exploring the bugger world, trying to find a place for a new colony to be, he discovered an area that greatly resembled the game that he used to play in battle school. He travels through the world that6 he recognizes, and comes to the same tower at the end. In there, there is a piece of metal meant to resemble the mirror that he saw in the game. He discovers a bugger queen pupa, and from that he learns the bugger's past. He translates th einformation he learns into a book titles Speaker for the Dead. Then, he writes a book about Peter before Peter dies. He then travels around the universe with valentine to find a new place for the Buggers to colonize. One quote that stood out to me during chapter 15 is "if you could make them feel as you can make me feel, then perhaps they could forgive you." This quote shows that ender wants to help the buggers. He says this after he discovers the queen bugger's pupa. He knows that he is the only one who can save the species he killed. Ender's job is to find a new place for the buggers to colonize. He needs to get far enough from earth that the humans will not feel threatened. Then, Ender must be a "speaker for the dead." He must convey the bugger queen's thoughts and feelings in a way that the rest of his world can understand, so that the humans will understand the buggers. Ender is the only one who can communicate between the buggers and the humans, so it is his job alone.
