(End of chapter 4) Gaff is talking to Anderson about Ender. They both believe that he is going to be the best commander the world has ever seen. The weight of the world if on Ender's shoulders and he's still only six. How do they know that he is the right one? He's in a way like every other kid, although he seems to be way more intelligent than the others by the way he talks and acts. His smartness and intelligence is also shown when he beats the older boys on a computer game. The first time he ever played it, the other boy won. The second time, he won but it took a little bit because he was still figuring out the game and then the third time he won quickly. It only took him one time to lose for him to figure how to win and do moves with the controller that no one has ever seen before. Ender is no normal six year old. In my opinion, I think he's not six at all. I think he's at least fourteen by the way they describe how smart he is.
The boys that were on the same ship with Ender were all put in the same room and they gave him the room that was supposed to be given to the leader of the room, like the commander. They didn't do it on purpose though. They really meant to give him the worst room since it was a lower bunk and by the door. The boys don't really like Ender at this moment. To them, he's a showoff, a danger, and a teacher's pet. He was "the best of the best" and they didn't like it. They all want to be commanders too, but they're only six years old so they think everything is a game to them and they all want to have fun and win, and definitely make sure that Ender loses. Little do they know that they are helping him become smarter and more able to figure things out on his own. They also help him make true friends.
