The history of the war against the buggers follows the pattern of the fight against Bonzo; in fact, just before the final battle in which Ender exterminates the buggers, he explicitly compares his confrontation with them to the unfair fight in the shower (p. 322). The number of times this scenario of unjustified attack and savage retaliation is repeated, not just in Ender\u2019s Game but in other of Card\u2019s stories and novels, suggests that it falls close to the heart of his vision of moral action in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'><a href=\"http:\/\/www4.ncsu.edu\/~tenshi\/Killer_000.htm\">Creating the Innocent Killer<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Bonin, in her article \u201cGay Sex and Death in the Science Fiction of Orson Scott Card\u201d8 points out how the killing of Bonzo prefigures Ender\u2019s eventual destruction of the buggers.
