So, what is Card doing here that makes the opening of the book so enthralling, so important? Well, first, Card utilizes a relatively common technique of telling the story in third person. Ender had just killed Stilson, he just didn't know it yet. But Ender wasn't like Peter.because Peter hadn't killed anyone. Ender thought to himself that taking away his monitor had made him just like Peter. He then kicked Stilson in the ribs, the crotch and then the face causing blood to splatter everywhere. He stepped forward while Stilson was still laying on the ground and helpless. Cooly and logically, Ender thought that he had to win now and that he had to end it for good. Ender is grabbed, but he lashes out, knocking Stilson to the ground. He decides that he would not be the one who ended up being the "unhappiest at the end" of Stilson's confrontation with him. Ender assesses the situation and begins to think that the looming confrontation would not have a happy ending for him. Ender leaves and is confronted in the hallway by Stilson. Most importantly, though, with his monitor out, Ender was no longer supervised electronically.

Then, the medical staff took out the monitor since it hurt, his theory about lies was proven true.

He further considers the nature of "lies." Ender concludes that "lies were just far more dependable than the truth." Just before the monitor comes out, he is told that the procedure wouldn't hurt him Ender thinks that it will hurt. We like Ender and feel sorry for him-it is all so unjust! But then something happens to change his life.his monitor comes out. He is tormented by his own brother, Peter, and bullied by other children at school.

As the book opens, we see that Ender was born as a "Third" child, in this society it is a despicable status brought about through no fault of his own.
