In the first 4 chapters in Enders game there is a 3rd person omniscent narrator. At the beginning of each chapter the Author lets you eavesdrop on the conversation of the soldiers. This helps give the reader a more all-round view on what is happening, and is more imforming. The 3rd person omniscent narrator also demonstrates the ability to read the characters thoughts and emotions. This is shown in the fight against stilson, how ender attacks stilson and then you read his thoughts and get a view on his perspective.
At the end of chapter 1 after he has fought stilson- Ender put his head on the wall and cried and Ender thought- I am just like Peter. Take my monitor away and I am just like Peter. This shows his regret of the fight.
The main reason the Author would use 3rd person would be to give the reader multiple views and perspectives. This is more imformative on the plot and mental status on the protagonist and gives the plot more depth and twists.
