[Future Snake Eater]

Ender’s killing of the bully is horrifying, because it’s so cold blooded. Merely a weighing of options, benefits, and outcomes. No thought about the moral implications.

He didn't intend to kill the kid. He wanted to send a message that he wasn't to be messed with by bullies. I actually was pretty impressed by that scene.

He also didn’t even know he’d killed the kid. He only found that out much later. I’m going to have to go back and re-read it now. It’s right up there with Dune for me, I’ve read both numerous times.
