"Salamander"

Graff talks to a man named General Levy, an I.F. commander, and Levy is concerned, and tells Graff not to hurt Ender. This is because even though Graff is happy Ender solved the problem with Bernard and got past the Giant's Drink, which no one has done before, he is still only a kid. After eating dinner, Ender finds out he has been transferred to Salamander Army, under the command of Bonzo Madrid. Alai hugs and kisses Ender on the cheek, and says "salaam" in his ear, and Ender feels special, because he knows that that word was personal to him. Ender plays the mind game again, and gets to a door labeled "The End of the World". He is then told to go to his commander, and in Salamander Army, Ender meets Petra, and they become friends, because they're both outcasts. Bonzo doesn't like Ender and tells him not to do anything in battle and stay out of the way. Petra teaches Ender how to fight in the battle room, and since he can't practice with the Salamanders, he takes a few launchies into the battle room to practice. This makes Bonzo hate Ender even more, since Ender tells Bonzo that he can't control free play. Ender gets high ratings, since he wasn't frozen, and because he didn't miss a shot because he didn't shoot at all. Then, at the end of a battle with Leopard Army, he shoots and freezes enough of their soldiers to force a draw. This makes Bonzo even more angry at Ender, because of his insubordination, and he slaps and punches Ender for his disobedience, and then trades Ender to Rat Army.

While reading, I realized that Ender was more focused about winning, than following orders from Bonzo, because he realized which was more important to him. Also, Ender was taken away from the launchies, just when he felt comfortable, which was a test by the school to keep him on his toes.
