Vulnerability, Hopelessness, and Devotion
19 Minutes: Peter

-Vulnerability-Hopelessness-Devotion-

Vulnerable - Peter had to endure through days where he was tormented daily by those bullies. He had days where it seemed like it would never end. The minutes felt like hours. It made him weaker in the mind, adding on to his fragility. While other kids in his grade can just ignore and push problems to the side, he was constantly unable to get those bullies off his mind. So he then created a game where smart kids that get bullied just like him can share the pleasure of shooting up a school which had those bullies in it. It portrayed what he wanted to do to them and can instantly be seen as what his dream was to do. His actions spoke for him that he needed help. With Peter's mind already set to his primary goal to kill those who tormented him and never let him have a good day, his life was about to hit rock bottom and there will be no way back up.

Hopelessness - Peter was bullied ever since he started kindergarten. The kids that were bigger and more popular teased him with no signs of stopping. His brother couldn't even protect him. Peter's parents and the other adults told him to stand up for himself, but that didn't work because he was put down right away by the bullies. Peter was always in the torment of choosing life or death because of the betrayal he experienced with his best friend Josie when they were kids.

Devotion - Peter didn't have many friends as a child, the only one that really noticed him and cared about him was his best friend Josie. So when Josie betrayed him during middle school, it really lead towards Peter's determination to carry out his plans. Josie never wanted to be mean or non-caring but she just sat by and let the others bully him and even got him fired from Peter's first and only job. Peter was devoted, he showed his faith towards his ex-best friend when he spared her in the last moments of the shooting. He also kept a big secret of Josie's from the world, it was that

    Education wise Peter has been known to have attended Providence high School in Rhode Island, but to have never graduated. He also has no college experience. This all may explain why his low intellect places him in a category below mentally retarded. His mental shortcomings have resulted in various accidents to other people; most notably the death of his step-father Francis Griffin, and injuries on multiple occasions to his wife Lois Griffin. Peter is shown generally to be a complete idiot, such as being dumb enough to think that there can be a World War 5 before World Wars 3 and 4 because it would be so intense that it would "Skip right over the other two." Peter also has a very short attention span which frequently leads him to bizarre situations.…

Peter often bullied Ender while playing a child's game of Buggers and Astronauts even going so far as to threaten his life (Card 11-12). They both see each other as being the problem. Peter may have thought that by controlling Ender he was…

    Then they want to be friends again. What I mean by that is, Peter committed suicide because he was really depressed right now at the moment. Now that Cole has changed, he wants to help people because he knows what they are going through. The last piece of evidence is, “‘ Suddenly Peter sprang up, shoving Cole hard, and sending him stumbling to the ground. “ Stay away from me! I don’t need your help!” he screamed. “I’m so sorry,” Cole repeated. “You’re not sorry for anything!” Peter shouted. He kicked at the ground, pelting Cole with gravel and dirt.”’ (235) What this quote is saying is, Cole is trying to help Peter because he knows what he is going through right now, but Peter doesn’t want that help.
