"The Giant's Drink"

Graff was talking to another unknown man, most likely the same one as the last chapter, and talked about how Ender was stuck at the "Giant's Drink" part of a mind game called "Free Play", where Ender had to choose one of two drinks to make it to Fairyland, and no matter which one he chooses to drink from, he ended up losing. Ender and the other "launchies" went into the battle room, and Ender quickly adapted to the zero gravity. Bernard's best friend Alai did too, and him and Ender quickly became friends. Ender, Alai, Bernard, and Shen all froze the others with the guns that they're equipped with, which ended up making Alai in charge of the group of children, instead of Benard. Later, Ender plays "Free Play", and he gets aggravated at constantly losing and attacks the Giant, making the Giant die, with a bat welcoming Ender to Fairyland. Ender becomes upset again, because he feels just like Peter, when he killed the Giant.

While I was reading, I saw that Ender's friendship with Alai was very important because he was very lonely and needed a friend in the new school he just joined. Also, I noticed that the only way Ender seems to win is by breaking the rules, when he attacks the Giant, as well as when he hit Stilson while he was down, breaking the rules of combat. Ender doesn't want to hurt anyone, but he is always put in a situation where he either has to be hurt or hurt someone else, which is part of Graff's plan.
