Ender's Game: Better Than Story

From the beginning of the book Ender was labelled a third by the elders he looked up to, he lived and grew up to prove to the elders that being a third does not mean anything and that everyone is the same. This goes along with adults and children, they are the same. Ender also proves this theory wrong by the way he acts. He is a very intelligent boy for the age of six and becomes even more intelligent when he is sent to battle school. He shows the battle toon leaders that although he is younger he can think and do the same as they can. Ender eventually becomes a battle toon leader at a very young age and once again proves that children have the ability to make good decisions without any adult’s help, by succeeding in all of the battles he fights. “Seven battles since your first battle, Ender”, said Graff. Ender did not reply. “And you’ve won seven battles, once a day.” (Card-228). Ender is a very dependent person and throughout the whole book he did not need much help from any adults. By the end of the book Ender proved that children can make fully intelligent decisions by themselves, without the help from adults, before they become adults

In the novels, Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow, differences are shown in the number of pages in both books. In Ender’s Game it has 226 and Ender’s Shadow has 379 pages. Although similarities include both novels based on similar situations and problems that the character solves and overcomes. Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow show differences and comparisons in point of views, settings, style of writing, characters, and mood.

     The novel Ender’s Game is written by Orson Schott Card. It is about a young boy who is sent to battle school. He meets friends and makes adversaries. In battle school, out in space, Ender, the young boy is a genius and is taught many tactics to destroy their prime enemy the buggers. He excels in school and battles his way into command school before the required age. There he is told he is battling buggers in simulations or is he? Throughout the novel, Ender is manipulated, bullied, and isolated, which creates many themes and messages. In this novel Ender’s Game the main theme is life is a game. Three characters that best prove this are Ender, Peter, and Bonzo.

In Ender's Game it is never entirely clear who is a friend and who is an enemy. Graff, Anderson, and Rackham, who are undoubtedly Ender's friends, appear to him as enemies and are forced to do so. Peter attempts to befriend Valentine merely to get what he wants, but she never forgets that he is not a real friend.

Genocide is a term used lightly by tons of people; generally only people who have experienced it are affected by it. This causes many people to turn their backs on mass murders and only have concern for people they know or can relate to. In Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card illustrates one’s journey to speak for the victims of genocide in order to educate others on the implications of this crime. In the article, “The Man Who Coined ‘Genocide’ Spent His Life Trying To Stop It,” by the NPR Staff, the motivation behind the dedication of an individual is shown through helping the victims of genocide. In both texts the authors reveal that the disregard for something such as genocide can inspire certain individuals to take a stand and be even more inspired

What could be better than a six year old boy killing two people, going to battle school, becoming a commander and killing an entire species? And he did all that by the time he was 13 years old. There’s a little bit of a difference between the book Enders game and the movie Ender Game. In the book Ender Wiggins was 6 years old and by the end he was 13 but in the movie he stayed 16 the whole time.

Childhood innocence contains curiosity, imagination and a frail mind that has yet to experience the real world. A young boy, Ender Wiggin, goes through many things a child his age normally wouldn’t experience. As he grows up in Battle and Command School, his humanity slowly strips away due to being isolated and pressured to be the commander that the International Fleet needs. Though everyone benefit from the end result, things they did to win the war should not be excused.

I know you can't believe that these young boys are out of school to be in a battle? Be careful who you mess with because they can attack you right back the theme of Ender's Game is internal struggles are not always apparent therefore it's important not to judge one another because it can be hurtful, one may Outcast others and one may be proven wrong. Throughout Ender's Game, Ender is getting judged and it can be very hurtful and hard for him for example as can be found in the text it says that quote quote well no one wants a third anymore you can expect them to be glad. (card 22). This shows and draws attention to children because families are judged based on how many kids they have and how they act anybody can judge you or your child.

THEME: The line between good and evil is sometimes unclear, and as a result, people often think that they are doing the right thing when it is actually the wrong action, and vice versa.

“In a comparative study of texts we see that the connections between texts are realised through the different textual forms used by each composer.”

This is a comparative review of the book and the movie ender's game. In this review I will compare the book ender's game written by Orson Scott Card to the movie ender's game directed by gavin hood.

The settings, conflicts, and characters of the respective texts share many similarities and differences. To start, both texts are supposed to take place in a faraway dystopian future. Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" takes place in the year 2081, and though there's no clear time period in which Orson Scot Card’s book Ender's Game takes place, it is strongly implied that it takes place in a dystopian future, as Ender is recruited by the international military to prevent a planet-wide invasion by extraterrestrials, and was previously obligated prior to being recruited to wear an implant which allows the officials to see and hear every minutia of his life (a procedure which is clearly highly invasive into Ender and his family's privacy, yet

Humans present in both Old Man’s War and Ender’s Games have changed due to the technophilic world they are accustomed to by heavily relying on technology. Changes provided by the authors in the novels are the value of human and other species life, violence as an immediate response to possible danger, and character behavior development. In both novels, humanity is able to achieve a great “accomplishment” although these accomplishments seem to lure humanity into the wrong direction leading to the road of destruction due to the cause of their own technological violent and brutal uses. The first way in which change is perceived is through the value of life in all species.

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.

This novel is about a brilliant military strategist, Ender Wiggin, whose story takes place in the future where there is a constant threat of an invasion from aliens who have been given the slanderous nickname, Bugger. Ender’s childhood is not an easy one considering he gets teased at school for being a “third” only to come home to an abusive brother who is always harassing Ender and his sister Valentine and he has the weight of the world on his shoulders because they believe that he is the last hope for mankind to fight off the Buggers. After many years of monitoring Ender the International Fleet decides they want to recruit Ender into Battle
