Our parents and society that surrounds us guides us to believe in rules and proper actions but in Ender's Game, these moral codes of our idea of humanity are challenged and questioned.

Gavin Hood, the director of “Ender’s game’’ has made one of the best movies I have seen. In just about 3 hours he got into good detail of the book. Asa Butterfield, who plays Ender plays his character very well in the movie. Although some parts were left out from the novel, The movie is very detailed with the original story. The battle room is almost like how I pictured it in the book but much larger.

Throughout this novel, there were some super amazing parts and my favorite was the ending when the International Fleet confess to Ender they lied to him and he had wiped out an entire species of aliens during a fake simulation that was actually a real battle.
