Ender's Game IOP

Evidence #3
"As soon as we get the reports back on the bugger colony worlds. I mean, there they are,
already fertile, with housing and industry in place, and all the buggers dead. Very
convenient. We'll repeal the population limitation laws--" (Pg.237)
This quote has a huge meaning behind it. Not only does it leave the reader in suspense, it also manages to foreshadow a future book perhaps. One where the protagonists explore other worlds and uncover more information about the Buggers.
My Thesis
The conversations preceding the content of the chapter are used to give background information to submerge the reader into the story, and foreshadow the rest of the novel.
Why?
I believe that Orson Scott Card wanted to deepen the readers understanding of the novel, and create a feeling of suspense.

Evidence #1
"I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. Or at least as close
as we're going to get."(Pg.1)
Coincidentally, my first piece of evidence is on the first page of the book. Although it doesn't reveal any characters, this quote foreshadows a protagonist that is key to the plans of the speakers.

Evidence #2
"With Ender, we have to strike a delicate balance. Isolate him enough that he remains creative-- otherwise
he'll adopt the system here and we'll lose him. At the same time, we need to make sure he keeps a strong
ability to lead."(start of chapter 4)
At the beginning of chapter 4, two men are speaking regarding the future of Ender. It is clear to see that the two men are concerned on how to keep Ender stable while also growing his ability to lead. This foreshadows how Ender will be treated later in the novel, with care but no compassion.
Conclusion
Always remember to pay attention to the small details whenever you are watching a movie or reading a book. They can offer a lot of interesting information.
