Speaker for the Dead – Quotation Analysis ***Note to Ms. Marchese: This story refers a lot to the first book in the series known as Ender’s Game, a quick summary of that book can be found here: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/endersgame/summary.html. “The Nordic language recognizes four orders of foreignness. The first is the otherlander, or utlänning, the stranger that we recognize as being a human of our world, but of another city or country. The second is the framling—Demosthenes merely drops the accent from the Nordic främling. This is the stranger that we recognize as human, but of another world. The third is the raman, the stranger that we recognize as human, but of another species. The fourth is the true alien, the varelse, which includes …show more content…

Yet that is what I see, or yearn to see. The difference between raman and varelse is not in the creature judged, but in the creature judging. When we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have.” Chapter 1, page 21) Pipo’s understanding of Demosthenian Hierarchy of Exclusion explains that humans will never (at least for the time being) be comfortable with another “human,” living on their planet or even their galaxy (Ender’s Game).

The humans were immature and did not observe the facts; therefore the Fromics were classified as varelse. Pipo believes that the creature judging (the humans) is the difference in varelse and raman. He states that if the humans accept a stranger as raman, then they have learned to be more mature, that the humans have made a leap in their maturity. If this is possible, then all humans would be able to live in peace …show more content…

Wilson’s format is the first striking thing the reader notices. Both passages have the same general structure: They both begin by discrediting the other group, they both claim their group is entirely irreproachable, and they conclude by briefly establishing their own goals and ideas. This not only proves how similar the strategies are, but also establishes the immature and ineffective nature of these arguments.
