Ender's Game: the Parallels and Distinctions of Bean and Ender

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

Ender was monitored and Bean was not, on page 1 of Ender’s Game, “Andrew I suppose by now you’re just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor.” Ender is somewhat ignorant of his surroundings and isn’t as curious as Bean is. Bean doesn’t get as much attention as Ender and Ender has the traits of a leader. On page 162, “Wiggin really doesn't care as much about himself as he does about these other kids who aren't worth five minutes of his time. And yet this may be the very trait that makes everyone focus on him. Maybe this is why all those stories Sister Carlotta told him, Jesus always had a crowd around him. Maybe this is why I'm so afraid of Wiggin. Because he's the alien, not me. He's the unintelligible one, the unpredictable one. He's the one who doesn't do things for sensible, predictable reasons. I'm going to survive, and once you know that, there's nothing more to know about me. Him, though, he could do

In Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game, the reader is taken into a fascinating futuristic world in which the human race is in danger. Having twice survived alien attack, the human race, fearing a more powerful invasion, develop a program to breed and train a warrior who will lead them to a final victory. The young boy chosen to do just that is six year old Andrew Wiggin also known as Ender. According to the government, Ender exhibits the traits needed to assure victory. At six years old he enters battle school and begins preparation for the bugger war. While in battle school Ender excels in simulation games of battles and is quickly promoted to higher levels in his training. However, being the best of the best at this school doesn't make

The main difference between Ender and Bean is that while Ender is popular with the other children at Battle School, Bean is not. With this in mind, the IF is uncertain whether or not people would follow Bean. Plus, Bean was constantly compared to Ender throughout his enrollment at Battle School. For example, when Bean asked to play the computer game he was told this by an older kid, “Well Bugger that…Who do you think you are, Ender Wiggin?” (63) On a different note, while Ender played the mind game on the provided desks, Bean had already realized that the teachers used the mind game to understand how and what the students thought about. Throughout the entire book, Ender’s Shadow, Bean never allows the person with power to see into his mind.

Ender had beaten up a kid named Stilson because he was bullying Ender and Ender wanted it to end so he beat him up really bad so Stilson and his gang wouldn’t come back and bully him again. Ender is a third child and that’s why the kids would point and laugh at him. When they walk into public everyone stares at them. A third where they live is unusual because u were only suppose to have 2 kids and if you do have a third then that messes up a lot of things for you. But before Ender was born his parents signed him over to the government. So anything the government wanted him to do he had to. Like when they wanted to take Ender to battle school his mother said no, but she didnt have any say so becasue she signed him over to the

Ender’s game by Orson Scott Card is a science fiction novel that takes place in the future and involves a kid named Ender, the protagonist of the story. He is sent to battle school to defeat the buggers (the enemies) with many other kids who are put through lots of challenges. The government has picked Ender who is 6 years old and is a third child, his older siblings were not selected by the government because his sister, Valentine, is too kind and compassionate while his older brother,Peter, is ruthless and hot-tempered. Ender is both a monster and a hero because he’s half Peter and half Valentine.

In the book, Bean is introduced as being almost a replica of Ender Wiggin himself; he portrays the same qualities relating to intelligence and courageousness. Beans age puts him at a slight disadvantage though; he is smaller than the other soldiers,

139). In the beginning no one cared about little Ender Wiggin. Ender had no friends and he also had zero respect. Now right as Ender is getting more friends, everyone is giving him so much respect. He has improved so rapidly and people are almost scared of him, which leads to Ender getting all of this new respect. He feels like there is a wall between him and his friends, because now he has to relate to them on a whole new level. At first he could talk with them and be a kid around them, and now it is like people expect him to act and be more mature . Another quote that proves my point is “Ender Wiggin crying?” (Card. 151). He can not do things without people finding out, and they put him on such a high pedestal that Ender can not do certain things without getting

Young kids can be easily affected by their surroundings. They learn from the roles of their teachers and their fellow students and peers. This is clearly demonstrated in Ender’s Game, a science fiction novel written by Orson Scott Card. It shows how Ender Wiggin, a very young boy, is put into a position of leadership and what he learns through this experience, Through a computer game, Ender learns that he is a very clever killer. Through his experience as commander, Ender learns that being strict will help him be a better leader and win games. Finally, his experience with Shen and Bernard teaches Ender that having humor will easily allow him to make friends. Overall, Ender’s experience in Battle School teaches him many things about

First off let’s start with the fact that Ender met Bean way too early in the movie, like in the very beginning. In the book Ender met Bean towards the End when Dragon Army had just surfaced again, in the movie, Ender and Bean met in the very beginning when they were on the launch. Ender also wasn’t as rude to Bean in the movie as he was in the book.

Ender Wiggin was a timid boy who wanted to have his brother and parents to love him. Prior to joining the Battle School, Ender did not have the belligerence that he would soon possess. He did not want to be like Peter, so

Throughout Ender’s Game, Ender is isolated, kept apart from other children that could be friends. Ender is not the only one separated in the book though as there is Bean, Graff and Mazer Rackham. I am, writing this essay on how Isolation changed the people in Enders games behaviour and how it is the central theme of the book. The first paragraph will be on Ender's isolation, the next article will be on beans isolation, and the last one will be on Graff and Mazer. I will provide a quote then explain on each paragraph.

Firstly, once Ender arrives at the Battle school, at the age of only six years old, he initially faces many difficulties with assimilating into his launch group, along with the other children, "The other boys talked and joked and bragged and laughed. Ender kept his silence. He toyed with the idea of trying to be like the other boys. But he couldn't think of any jokes, and none of theirs seemed funny. Wherever their laughter came from, Ender couldn't find such a place in himself."

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

Markus Zusak and Scott Orson Card both develop their main characters as innocent and dark. In the book Ender's Game , Card makes Ender this kid who has been bullied by his brother his whole life and does not fight back. He lets all the anger store up and lets his brother bully him, so when he got accepted into battle school and started fighting battles he was not horrible at it. “‘Well, now your guardian angels aren’t watching over you,’ Peter said. ‘Now the aren’t checking to see if you feel pain, listening to hear what I’m saying, seeing what I’m doing to you. How about that? How about it?’ Ender shrugged. Suddenly Peter smiled and clapped his hands together in a mockery of good cheer. ‘Let’s play buggers and astronauts,’ he said” (Card 10).
