Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

After Ender’s important battle, they tell him that all of it was real and that he had actually defeated the buggers. Ender thinks to himself, “Real. Not a game. Ender’s mind 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 that he had blasted into oblivion. He walked through the crowd, dodging their congratulations, ignoring their hands, their words, their rejoicing” (Card 297). When Ender realizes that they have been lying to him and using him as a weapon, he becomes angry. Ender yells at Graff and Mazer, “‘ I didn’t want to kill them all. I didn’t want to kill anybody! I’m not a killer! You didn’t want me, you bastards, you wanted Peter, but you made me do it, you tricked me into it!’” (Card 297). If Ender would have known that he would have killed people and creatures, he would not have gone to battle school in the first place. Death is very hard on Ender and he does not know how he can live with such a burden. Ender’s change in character is due to him being a victim of

In the beginning of the book Ender gets his monitor removed and gets into a fight. The way he handled the fight is what caused colonel Graff to offer Ender to join battle school. In the start of battle school, Ender got picked on a lot, until he killed Bonzo, he was promoted to commander, commanding his own army, he defeated a lot of other armies in the school. In the commanding part of the book, he was getting stressed and losing sleep, he went back to Earth because he didn’t want to be in battle school anymore, then his sister convinced him to go to Eros to train for the bugger war, when he was playing simulations of a bugger invasion, he finally defeated the buggers and Graff told him that the games were actually real, not simulators. After he beat the buggers, another war started on Earth, his sister met with him where he was and told him that he should be governor at another planet and went around to find a new planet for a new era for the buggers.

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

Our resolution tells of how Ender survives after the invasion is over. He hears that Peter is the leader of the battle on earth. Ender eventually talks with a bugger, she would like him to start a new bugger civilization. As soon as he finds that out he creates a book based off of the history. He moves on towards a new part of how the war could have gone. "The book that Ender wrote was not long, but in it was all the good and all the evil that the hive-queen knew. And he signed it, not with his name, but with the title: SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD."

Valentine and Ender are both bullied by Peter and abused by his words and actions. This takes place within the first few pages, and Valentine protects Ender. When Peter threatens to kill them both, Valentine stands up for them. Peter tells Valentine, “You’re his monitor now. You better watch hom, day and night.

In chapter twelve we see once again Ender’s instinct to win for all time during a battle. Even with the odds stacked against him, Ender defeated Bonzo’s army. Ender realizes that Bonzo, if he didn’t already, hates Ender to his core, “this would surely turn his rage murderous […] Bonzo will be thirsting for blood now” (195). Petra attempts to warn Ender that he is in danger but, he already knows this. All five of his platoon leaders escort him to his room that night. When he arrives, he finds that Dink has left him a message of warning, “Don’t ever be alone. –Dink” (205). Ender can only sleep because he thinks that surely the teachers will keep him safe outside of the battle room. However, Graff insists that Ender must handle things on his own, that there will be

This chapter made me feels that Ender love is stronger than any power that’s why Valentine, who Ender love can be able to convince him to return to the space, where he and Graff will travels next to the Command School to learned the knowledge in order to able to save the human kind from the buggers from conquer all over the Earth. I like this chapter because of the fact that it shows where various people in Ender's life cause him to come to terms with his identity in this section and with that he’s influence by Valentine the most who have forced by Graff to do it because she was Ender’s sister, and also who Ender love the most. “She had talked ender into going back to into his training, and he wouldn’t soon forgive her for that.” (p.242)

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)

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 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

He displays this quality again later in the book too. When Ender is tested through a random computer generated simulation test, he gets upset after none of his solutions are working and turns to violence. This has a deep psychological effect on Ender because Peter is explicitly shown to be who he hates, so for him to become Peter is to become everything he’s avoided trying to become. The struggle between identities is troubling to say the least, and truly defines his character. Luckily, this feeling of becoming peter is

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 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.

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).
