The best example of rhetoric in Chapters 1-7 of Ender's Game is when Colonel Graff convinces Ender to go to Battle School.
Colonel Graff begins by telling Ender some of the truth. Ender will not be home for a very long time. There aren't any vacations. It will be very hard for Ender (p.21).
His logos argument continues when Graff explains to Ender that his life has cost his parents quite a bit. Ender is a third and his parents are clinging to religion. Having more than two children was considered criminal. Graff tries to make Ender see that his parents had a Third for a reason: they had not given up their religion. Graff wants Ender to make his life meaningful by going to Battle School.
From here, the logical appeal changes to an emotional appeal, or pathos. Graff tries to get Ender to believe that he can relieve the burden on his parents by leaving.
"Not anything you do, Ender. Your life itself. Your brother hates you because you are living proof that he wasn't good enough. Your parents resent you because of all the past they are trying to evade," Graff explains (p. 23).
After making Ender feel unimportant, unloved, and unwanted by his family, Graff moves to getting Ender to see that Battle School can be a new family for him. Battle school will appreciate Ender. "But if there's a chance that because you're with the fleet, mankind might survive and the buggers might leave us alone forever--then I'm going to ask you to do it. To come with me" (p. 25).
