But Ender realises that if you hurt someone, they are going to remember it and bear a grudge and come after you again. Bozo is also the leader of his gang. If you want to deal with something, you need to be absolute and make sure you do a full job. So the correct course of action is to hurt him so bad and so much, he will fear Ender and never come back again. Why would you leave loose ends lying around when you can tie them up right here? So he continues to hit Bozo even after he stops moving because you make sure you do a complete job. Ender has also realised that during his time here that adults are completely useless. He has to fight things for himself and do things for himself. So he takes what he feels is the logical course of action, which is to eliminate the threat right then and there. And that's why Bozo dies. | ||

In the edition I read he wrote a forward indicating to his critics that yes, it's true that child geniuses don't actually bear any resemblance to the ones in his book, but fuck you, it's literature. I'm inclined to think your coworker is full of shit, but I don't have my copy of the book around so if I'm not sure if misremembering. | ||
