Ender's Game What are the two possible meanings of the title of Chapter 5? Hint: one is literal and one is more figurative...

The boys are playing strategy "games" but the they are also "games" that rank the boys. In school, the boys go through hours of classes, watch videos of the past invasions, and play in the game room--"what they lived for." Ender tends to go to the harder games to study tactics. After watching one game, Ender asks to play against one of the older boys, and Ender soon learns how to beat him. By the third game, Ender wins "quickly and efficiently." Some of the others start to use his tactics.They are playing a literal game as well as a figurative game.
