Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

In the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card the book itself is a science fiction. In the book it is based in the future were they where attacked by aliens and soon Earth was prepared for another attack from the aliens. The brightest minds go goes to school to train to be a fighter pilot Ender was one of them. Ender's brother and sister Peter and Valentine used to go to school like ender did but were cut. Peter is a boy that likes bullying and killing things. Valentine on the other hand likes is very fond of Ender.One of the conflicts is when Ender is stripped of and sent home when he leaves he finds bullys conering him into a classroom he fights his way out and keeps on kiking the bully till he promised him that he would not bother him

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)

He believes Ender is naive compared to him. This quote from the book talks about how even the teachers are manipulators and liars, Ender realizes this and shuts himself out to everyone but his closest friends and Valentine. Finally, Ender

When Ender finds out that he killed a whole race he is angry and says “’I didn’t want to kill anybody! I’m not a killer!”’(297).Throughout his journey Ender thinks that he is a replica of Peter. This is one of the many instances where Ender feels his whole persona is being manipulated into a copy of Peter by leaders at Battle School. Once Ender recognizes that most of his choices have been influenced by commanders such as Colonel Graff he decides to make a decision of his own by finding the buggers a new home.

As he progresses through Battle school, Ender becomes increasingly disengaged from his classmates. During the first training session, he and his peers are exposed to the concept of null gravity, where Ender realizes that he can control how he perceives what is up and down and which way could be thought of as right or wrong. Having expressed these concepts, he is immediately praised by the teachers, who glorify his ideas as if Ender were genius, subsequently evoking feelings of jealousy in the other children. Ender is instantly the outcast; all his classmates quickly condemn him for being a teacher’s pet. It is, however, revealed later in the chapter that the behavior of the teachers was not coincidental, but that they were in fact creating a diversion between Ender and the class to bring about his own will. The teachers all agree amongst themselves; Ender can never “come to believe anybody will ever help him [or] think there’s an easy way out,” (Card, 70). This means that Ender’s instructors think that he should be independent, and therefore not have the opportunity to blame others for his actions. Card writes this to express his opinion that while a person can gain valuable experiences by working with others, it is only when a person is alone that they will truly strengthen their own will. He uses this to emphasize that too much reliance on others can be one’s downfall. This scene connects to the

Ender Wiggin was unlike most of the children in his school. He was known as a "third", the third child in his family. He, like both his brother and sister, had a monitor in the back of his neck, so the military could see what they did. Ender had his longer than his siblings and because of this, Peter, his brother, hated him. He constantly threatened him and picked on him and at school, the kids verbally harassed him. He got so fed up with it that one day, he beat up the main bully, not stopping until he was lying on the floor, weeping and in his own blood. Ender didn't want to do it but in his mind, it needed to be done. Valentine, his sister, loved him, despite everyone else's opinions. She was constantly sticking up for him and

Ender’s rocky journey to becoming a great commander can be broken into three specific periods; separation from everything he was familiar with as a child, initiation into his new life to school in space, and the life he lives after the final battle.

Ender is now in command school. Still in the guidance of Colonel Graff. As we go on through the book and chapter fourteen we find out that many of the groups need teachers and/or commanders. We ultimately find a character that comes back to be the teacher of Ender, Mazer Rackham. Ender starts his final exam. As he went through it, suddenly all the military adults came and congratulated him and he had beat them. He thought it was it was all a game. It turns out it was all real. "This was the Third Invasion. There were no games, the battles were real." (296)

Take my monitor away, and I am just like Peter. ”(Card 6). He also shows characteristics of Peter when he is first put on the space station with other recruits. When he is being harassed by a kid behind him, Ender anticipates the next blow and grabs the kid’s arm, but he ends up breaking it (Card 26). He questions whether he broke the arm because he wasn’t used to null gravity, or because he was angry and couldn’t control his outburst.

Ender is a young boy that is very talented coming from a well known family. His mother, father, sister, and brother live on the planet considered earth, however, because the world is at stake he has been sent to space to train for war.“Battle School is where the best and brightest are trained to be military commanders through participation in intricate war games.” “I'm crazy," said Ender(Chapter 8). "But I think I'm OK(Chapter 8). Ender is not letting these fears and obstacles get in his way of achieving his goal as a commander and his understanding of what and why he was chosen to be in battle school so early. Based on the quote as they train him in the different direction from the way he used to live and the way they live the grown ups soon come to the understanding that he is intelligent and can be a great help for the battle against the buggers. As they continue to train through different section they become more and more interested into his thoughts tracking his every movement and soon inform him he will play a big part in their mission to save the

Ender takes many journeys throughout the book, his literal, and most obvious, being his trip to the battle school. In the battle school, he learns many valuable lessons such as, when to stand your ground. He applied this when he fought his bully in the bathroom and killed him by accident. During his journey, he played a game that simulated situations based on the information gathered on the player. Ender’s mental health begins

The second stage of a hero’s journey is the call to adventure. Something happens that calls the hero away from their everyday life and into their quest. For Ender, it was when Graff showed up at the Wiggin’s home in chapter three. The removal of Ender’s monitor turned out to be the I.F’s final test to see how Ender handled situations without the aid. Graff arrives at the Wiggin residence to deliver the news and invites Ender to attend Battle School to commence his training. It takes a bit to sway him but he ultimately agrees stating that he was in fact born for the sole purpose. He leaves holding Colonel Graff’s hand and Valentine crying for him to return to her.

In section 5, another discussion with Officer Graff begins the part, yet this time with some clearly higher in the military order. They examine and conclude that Ender should be his own wellspring of assistance, and he may have companions yet that is it. Later, Ender goes and discover his bunks with his lunchmates ( Launchies). While searching for the bunks, Dap presents himself as the person who will deal with them and their inquiries. During the evening when the time has come to rest, at the end of the day, Ender is in his bunk crying, once Dap comes around to check, Ender dries his eyes. He is upbeat he figured out how to shroud his feelings back home with Peter.

When Ender is at the battle school, it is evident that the training and harsh atmosphere is taking a toll on him, “Since becoming commander, he never slept more than five hours a night…Sometimes he worked at his desk…straining his eyes to use the dim display. Usually, though, he stared at the invisible ceiling and thought” (Card 174). Later, he is not even able to get a joke, “therefore Dr. Device. It was a joke.’ Ender didn’t see what was funny about it” (Card 273). When Ender discovered he was tricked into destroying the entirety of the buggers, he became depressed thinking about the genocide that he had just committed, “Real. Not a game. Ender’s mid was too tired to cope with it all. They weren’t just points of light in the air, they were real ships that he had fought with and real ships he had destroyed. And a real world he had blasted to oblivion” (Card 297).

Colonel Graff and Admiral Chamrajnagar discuss Ender. Chamrajnagar questions the three month vacation Graff allowed for Ender. Graff counters, saying it was necessary for Ender. Both of them have respect for one another, they dislike each other. Ender, however, hates Eros immediately. In his free time from his studies, Ender plays with a space simulator. Ender uses the skills he learned back at Battle School for the game. Eventually, Ender beats the game and tells Graff that he is bored. The next day, Ender wakes up and sees an old man in his room. The two are introduced with the man attacking Ender, he tells him that since he is Ender’s enemy, he also is his teacher. After fighting back a little bit, the teacher introduces himself as Mazer
