During chapter 14 so many important things happen. The chapter starts off with Ender and Graff flying to eros. When they got there ender didn't like eros. He felt different and out of place. He also felt that he was so isolated there and it was all strangers. . Ender is introduced to the simulator. This simulates is similar to the battle room an it is holographic. The next day ender meets an hold man which he soon finds to be his enemy. He was about to face is first lesson. Which is "things that don't look dangerous might be." The old man says to ender " theres no better teacher but the enemy." The old man soon introduces himself as Mazer Rackham. This really shocked me. Mazer Rackham attacked ender in his own room. This proves that you should never feel bad for your enemy and that your enemy is your best teacher. Next ender moves to the next simulator. During this he has to command a whole fleet. He finds out that the fleet was full of all of his old friends. Ender has battles every few days now. This last battle is very difficult. There are so many more of them then him. Ender pulls through and wins the battle. By blowing the whole thing up. But then realizes that he was fighting the bugggers and that it wasn't just the simulator. He is so upset that he killed the whole population of the buggers without him knowing. He doesn't want to become his brother, he was not a killer. This really had ender upset that they would trick him like that. Ender ends up in a sort of coma for 5 days and he wakes up the squadron leader right next to him. They are all there to congradulate him. If this happened to me I would be so thankful for all of my friends that support me and it would help me get my mind off of it.
Quote “There is no teacher but the enemy” This quote is so big in this chapter. It's the whole lesson that ender has to learn with the "old man" and the simulator. If he new that he was fighting the buggers he would've treated them different just like he treated the old man different. This also ties in with "things that don't look dangerous might be." And this really proves that if you don't know who your fighting you treat them different than you would if you knew who it was.

From the things that I've learned is history there are so many wars that have been cause from miss communication. A long time ago they didn't have as good technology or anything to communicate with the other countries. If people are throughing threats around that were not fully communicated the country can't take it the wrong way. This can cause an even bigger war than it was already going to be. If We don't fully understand the threat than we will have to assume what it is. Which could be better or it could be worse. But you have to do something.
