Ender is six when he is taken to the battle school, and once he get there he is contently in simulation battle in the battle room or play games on his desk when he in the barrack. This is like in Carr’s essay where you are on the internet contently skimming article. He is competing in Battle with his team in the battle room at any time of day or night, and on his own desk computer playing a game when he is not fighting battle. . Ender is contently monitored without his knowledge in whatever he does. Ender is contently isolated from making friends with other children at the battle school. Every time he get close to someone on the army he commanded, Ender is transferred to another army where he know nobody. We he start try to make friends he is move again and again. This is done so he will concentrate all his energy on how to get better in each battle simulation that is develop by Colonel Graff and Mazer Reakham for Ender to compete in without Ender knowledge.

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is a novel set in the distant future about Ender Wiggin, a boy sent by government leaders to save the world from an alien race. Ender’s older sister, Valentine, goes through a drastic character change throughout the novel due to the brother she loved leaving her with their abusive brother Peter. Since Valentine had always stuck up for Ender, she didn’t know how to stick up for herself, leading to her dramatic transition. Throughout this novel, Valentine goes from caring to hardhearted, a change which affects her greatly since her entire character is based off her kind, nurturing personality. Peter and Ender are constantly quarrelling over how Ender kept his monitor on for so long, this annoys Valentine and her natural instinct is to protect Ender.

Ender’s Game is centered around a boy named Ender, who gets chosen to go to a military training center by the government, which is called Battleschool. As he grows his mind and skills, as well as his confidence, he gains friends and enemies along the way. In this novel, Ender shows the reader, and myself, that central message is that everything can be treated as a game, but, in the future, you will have to learn to acknowledge the world around you and realize that accidents and mistakes are real. You can’t just start over, you have to live with your faults, no matter how bad they are.

are insects with human like abilities, they out weapon and outnumber the human, one of their weaknesses is the buggers can't reproduce independently, the only way is for the queen to lay eggs. The human can reproduce and regular families can only have two children, Ender was allowed by the government itself. The buggers work as one like a human body different buggers will do different things by there self the queen is like the heart of the human body,”So it’s the queen controls the whole group.” (page 310) if the queen dies buggers will slowly go extinct, one by one. Ender killed the buggers using his army, and the human won the war between the human and the buggers. The military decided because he did that the war was over and the human race was safe the military sent Ender back to earth to live the rest of his life normally.

In the book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, it starts with ender in school and being made fun of. After he beats up a bully, he goes home to deal with his brother Peter who also bullies him because Ender is a better specimen than Peter was. But what no one expected was that a representative from the military came to invite Ender to Battle School up in space. Ender accepted and went to live up in Battle School for years to come. At first, Ender was hated for being such a talented student at the age of six but was soon respected after he was able to beat all the other armies with just a bunch of little kids. Ender became the best soldier at Battle School and was moved up to Command School where he would learn to command

Throughout the book Ender is forced into playing game after game. But unlike simple games children play for fun none of the games that Ender plays are what they seem and in the end even though he is normally the victor they are anything but fun for him. In the early chapters of the book we see Ender at home with his brother and sister playing a game of “buggers and astronauts”. A game Ender’s brother Peter uses as a form of torture against Ender. This is the only game in the book we see that Ender does not win, the meaning behind this lose I believe shows how Ender is not willing to do the one thing needed to win at this point in his life and that is be as brutal as his brother consciously. The next major game we see is a psychological game designed to understand Ender, the administration monitors the game to try and figure him out, he just plays the game because he wants to win and the game itself is designed to make him lose. Though a vicious tactic never seen before ender beats the unbeatable game but this scares Ender because he begins to question how like his brother he actually is. The major game of battle school is an antigravity war with the students formed into several Army’s. Ender quickly uses his mind to become the best play in this game and is given his own Army. Through the use of compassion, brilliance, and an unyielding demand for excellence his Army becomes a undefeated Juggernaut. The administration trying to push

All of my life I have been a party to numerous arguments on what it takes to raise a child to be a responsible and well-adjusted adult. On the one hand, the discovery of genetics has led to a large field of research to support that we are predestined to certain activities. On the other hand, our environmental surroundings and the experiences we endure may also play a role in making us who we are. There are surely plenty of literary examples tackling this theme, but the one I plan to focus on is the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. I think that this novel illustrates that it isn’t as simple as just saying “Nature vs Nurture”. The development of the individual is dependent on both, with varying degrees of dependence based on the person in question.

Scheduled in Earth’s future, the novel displays an dismayed and fragile human race, after two devastating conflicts with the “buggers” or the formics, an intelligent alien species. In anticipation of a third invasion, the I.F., the international fleet, chose children based on a set of skills they possess at a young age. The I.F does this by installing monitors when children are born so they can see the perspectives of the children that are going to be the strongest. The novel’s protagonist Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is chosen as one of these very few children, to be trained,

The buggers from Orson Scott Cards Enders game and subsequent novels, at first appear to be bug eyed monsters, a science fiction cliché. However as the story develops it becomes apparent that the buggers are much more than just a cliché, they develop as a sentient species, they undergo a transformation from varelse, “the true alien” (speaker 34) into raman “the stranger that we recognise as human but of another species”. (34) As this transformation occurs Ender learns a great deal from the buggers, in this manner card illustrates that there is much one can learn from the transformation of varelse to raman.
