1- As humans, we have certain morals that guides our lives. 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. Card's use of a utopian world in his science fiction novel sometimes do not obey the concepts that individuals today in the United States are raised to stay true to. This can be seen in the novel as Ender is a Third and is not as welcome in his family as Peter and Valentine by society and putting others down to feel better about themselves. In addition, Ender was placed within his family by the government in order to grow with a family, but when old enough, train and become a military genius for all of Earth's wars.

Andrew “Ender” Wiggin was a completely normal boy. Was being a key word. When Ender was small, the government installed a monitor on the back of his neck so they could observe his actions and judge whether he was fit to join the army. Decades, maybe a whole century before, aliens, called “buggers”, attacked the planet. Humans were outgunned, outnumbered, and a sure defeat seemed to be on the way.

Before being chosen Ender wears a unique monitor that allows the heads of the military to see things as Ender does. Ender's brother Peter and his sister Valentine also wore this monitor, although neither was selected, nor did they have it for as long as Ender, and Peter will never forgive Ender for this. Peter hates Ender, and even when the monitor is taken out it does nothing to decrease Peter's anger. The same is true of Ender's schoolmates, and he is forced into brutally beating the leader of a gang of bullies in order to protect himself. Although Valentine tries to protect Ender from Peter, he is only

“The adults are the enemies, not the other armies. They do not tell us the truth."

Now the Earth can only rely on young children to fight the aliens and anything can happen if we lose, aliens taking over the Earth or even destroy our planet. This sounds terrifying,but this is a good thought to think about and Orson Scott Card reenacted this idea into a book called The Ender’s Game. The Ender’s game is about a kid, named Ender, who is invited to school where they learn how to fight an insect alien like creatures called “buggers”. Ender develop new skills as he takes a simulation after simulation and destroys the alien

The novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is about a boy named Ender Wiggin. He was selected by the I.F. (International Fleet) Selected Service to save the world from the third invasion against the buggers. The International Fleet is the army protecting planet Earth. The buggers were an alien race that tried to conquer Earth. Ender was a very smart and extraordinary person. He experienced many great challenges throughout the book. Mazer Rackham was Ender’s commander during his time at command school. During Ender’s experience at Command School, he went through very tough battles. He led the soldiers in ships. These were the ships that Ender commanded to victory. Ender’s major victory was when he decided to shoot the “little doctor”, a weapon that can destroy many ships in one shot at a planet, destroying the buggers forever. Although Ender didn’t know what he was doing, Ender was a hero because he was able to defeat the buggers.

Instead of just limiting his thinking to the first battle, he thinks ahead to the next ones in order to achieve ultimate victory. By doing so, Ender sets a reputation for himself as someone not to be messed with. His character is developing into one that is more mature and wise. We will see this strategic thinking play out later on in his future encounters with the battles he partakes in.
