An Analysis Of Ender's Things Fall Apart

The book begins with Ender gets his monitor out and commander Graff tells him he needs to go to battle school because he was the smartest kid. In the shuttle going to battle school, he broke Bernard’s arm and got bullied by the bigger kids. Ender started to command his own army after standing up to the bullies and then graduated and moved to command school. He stays on earth for a while to get ready to travel to Eros and then he was isolated from everyone and then he got to fight in the war against the Buggers. They won and Ender’s team thought it was a game not

At this point, Ender starts seeing another side to things. Even though Ender realizes and admits to himself that he is being manipulated and tricked, he still continues onward.

“Hey third, we’re talkin to you, Third, hey bugger lover, we’re talkin to you.” (Card. 6). In the beginning Stilson (a bully) comes up to Ender with a group of guys. They surround him and start to bully him. At first Ender takes it, then Stilson swings at him, and we see Ender break out of his shell. Ender not only beats him, but we find out he killed him. This is where we see Ender realize what he is capable of. After the fight, we see Ender go back to his quiet self. “Again a blow to the head. Go away Ender thought.I didn’t do anything to you.” (Card. 32). Another group of boys start

In this chapter it is it is interesting that Ender is grateful to Peter for teaching him to cry silently. Peter has made Ender into the type of person who can handle a threat and thats all I think he has done to help him . Ender has a talent to be independent which helps him during the games. Ender shows how he can use his intelligence to fight back. This shows how ender is very mature Ender's strategy destroys Bernard's gang, and makes it so that he makes friends(makes friends with shen) without violence (P, CON)

At the beginning, Ender relied heavily on his sister Valentine, but by the end of the novel Ender exhibited independence. One way that he shows independence is when Ender’s toon leader Bonzo Madrid commands him to not participate actively in the game. However, Ender disobeys him, “Ender aimed carefully with a straight arm, as Petra had taught him. Before anyone knew what was happening, he froze three of

Ender Wiggin was a timid boy who wanted to have his brother and parents to love him. Prior to joining the Battle School, Ender did not have the belligerence that he would soon possess. He did not want to be like Peter, so

In the beginning of the book Ender gets his monitor removed and gets into a fight. The way he handled the fight is what caused colonel Graff to offer Ender to join battle school. In the start of battle school, Ender got picked on a lot, until he killed Bonzo, he was promoted to commander, commanding his own army, he defeated a lot of other armies in the school. In the commanding part of the book, he was getting stressed and losing sleep, he went back to Earth because he didn’t want to be in battle school anymore, then his sister convinced him to go to Eros to train for the bugger war, when he was playing simulations of a bugger invasion, he finally defeated the buggers and Graff told him that the games were actually real, not simulators. After he beat the buggers, another war started on Earth, his sister met with him where he was and told him that he should be governor at another planet and went around to find a new planet for a new era for the buggers.

So he must rely only on himself, this being the only way that Graff believes Ender will be able to reach his fullest abilities. Just before lunch Ender heads to the showers and he finds himself surrounded by seven boys, with Bonzo as the leader. Ender quickly realizes that Bernard and the other boys aren’t the ones who are the threat; it is Bonzo who wants to kill him. He is able to use Bonzo's honor to convince him to face him alone. Bonzo strips down to face Ender on equal terms, “Naked and wet and alone, Ender, so we’re even” (209. Ender asks Bonzo not to hurt him to try and get him to attack. Bonzo jumps at him; Ender avoids the attack and hits Bonzo in the face with his head. He has injured Bonzo badly enough and Ender knows he should be able to walk away, but he does not want to have to fight a battle like this again. Ender realizes he must make Bonzo fear him more than he hates him. He knocks Bonzo to the ground and kicks him in the crotch. Bonzo is motionless, and does not even respond. Ender is in despair over how he hurt Bonzo, and begins to cry. After his fight with Bonzo, the worst event in Ender's life so far, Ender leaves

Firstly, once Ender arrives at the Battle school, at the age of only six years old, he initially faces many difficulties with assimilating into his launch group, along with the other children, "The other boys talked and joked and bragged and laughed. Ender kept his silence. He toyed with the idea of trying to be like the other boys. But he couldn't think of any jokes, and none of theirs seemed funny. Wherever their laughter came from, Ender couldn't find such a place in himself."

Ender is at school and life is normal until he gets his monitor taken out. After it is taken out, he is bullied by the class and he begins to think that he is a failure. He gets into a fight, where his strategic fighting abilities and sheer brutality gets him noticed. He ended up killing the boy he was fighting, though he is not aware of it. This part of the book is Ender’s call to adventure.

One was that he was moved from his launchy group to salamander army. Bronzo the leader of salamander army didn't want ender to be in his army because Ender was only six. But Ender did meet a friend in salamander named Petra. Petra basically took Ender under her wing and showed him the basics of the game. Then Bonzo traded Ender to rat army there he meet some pretty nice people. He then started his own training group with his old friends from his launch group, word got out and some of the older boys didn't like that ender was teaching kids how to fight. So they ganged up and tried to fight Ender and his friends. They older boys didn't know how good the kids were and lost.

Ender is different from the other boys because he wasn’t laughing and joking around like they were. Ender couldn’t recall any jokes, and theirs didn’t seem funny to him. “He was afraid, and fear made him serious.” (Card, page 28) Ender seems like the outsider of the group. He is acute and reserved, while the other boys are boisterous and rowdy.

Robert was hiding from the Vampires and then he found out that one of their weaknesses is light so then the author says “The first excitement he’d felt in months made him break into a run for the station wagon.” Through his reaction we can tell that Robert is just tired of being scared and alone. He is willing to be able to do anything just for that to stop which is why he was so excited. During Enders road of trials, Ender went through a lot, physically, mentally, and spiritually. He had made enemies just for being good. He would be willing to do anything to whatever stands in his way. During the ride to battle school, Ender was approached by a boy who wanted to hurt him for being good so Ender had reacted in a way that the other boy got really hurt “Ender felt sick. He had only meant to catch the boy’s arm. No. No, he had meant to hurt him” Ender was willing to do anything to that boy to prove a point to everyone. At one point Ender was eating alone and a boy named Mick approached him and said “I noticed you eating all alone... I think the teachers do that on purpose”. This proves that Ender went through a lot during his time at battle school. But Ender was willing to bear all these hardships that were befalling

His main crisis of identity has to be that of ending up like his seemingly mentally disturbed and violent older brother, Peter. When his monitor is taken off of him, he was attacked by a group of bullies. He subsequently defeated them, but did so in such a brutal way that he couldn’t help but feel guilty of unnecessary violence. This is shown in the quote “ Ender leaned his head against the wall of the corridor and cried until the bus came. I am just like Peter.

3. When a kid named Bernard comes back to Battle School after Ender broke his arm. Bernard starts picking on him looking for revenge. So, in retaliation, Ender hacks into the desks leaving notes on kid’s desks saying they were sent by Bernard even though they were actually sent by Ender. Then Ender sets up a better security system so they can’t track him. Ender believes that the system was a mere game to see who could break it. But, it isn’t a real game. Ender imagines it as a game because Ender is manipulative but also compassionate convincing kids to leave Bernard’s gang. His compassion helps him visualize Bernard’s place and thoughts making it easy for Ender to beat him. [120
