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.

In Ender's Game, author Orson Scott Card uses a foreshadowing technique to convey a sense of danger throughout the novel, which leads the readers to develop a feeling of apprehensiveness while reading. After getting his monitor mysteriously removed, Ender is sent back to class. When the bell rings, Ender is the

The struggle for identity within Ender’s Game was a common theme throughout the book. Ender’s Game is a book about a boy named Ender who was recruited into the battle school in hopes of unlocking his true potential so he could command the IF as he was humanity’s last hope. His main goal would be beating the buggers who are an alien species who launched two invasions on Earth and Ender was told that a third one would eventually come. Characters such as Ender are pushed to their limits while others hide behind a false identity in hopes of making a change. These characters change as the book progresses on and several instances show the reader the changes that are happening.

Ender’s mental development has been tracked by an electronic monitor on his neck since birth. When the monitor used to track Ender’s progress in school comes off, he is immediately deemed to be a waste of time to his classmates, and thus is easily susceptible to bullying. Stilson, Ender’s schoolmate, tries to take advantage of the situation by confronting him after school. Ender is rightly afraid; his monitor is gone, so he is alone, and cannot be saved by the adults that used to watch over him. However, by observing his enemy and acting intelligently, he is able to “forestall vengeance and keep them from taking him in down” (Card, 37). This scene is a perfect archetype for the author’s theme. Ender is forced to think for himself, rather than relying on grownups as he accustomed to and instead use his own guts to survive. Card distinctly reveals in this scene his interpretation on isolation; that innovation can flourish when a person thinks for themselves, and that one does not need another person to be by their side to earn his respect. The theme is made clear as Card presents how a person can control what actions he or she may take by being one’s own defender and learn from these

The first major event in Ender’s Game is Ender’s decision to go to Battle School. Ender is a virtual pariah at home, bullied by other boys, and in danger from his cruel brother. He leaves his family partly because he wants to be safe, keep Valentine safe, and fulfill his role as a “Third” child in society. Ender’s decision to leave home is a big step toward maturity for him. One important theme in the story is Consequentialism, or the end justifies the means. This is shown in Ender’s fight with Stilson. According to the adults, it’s acceptable for Ender to kill Stilson as long as he has a well enough explanation and good intentions. This also occurs when Enders wipes out the whole Bugger species. Everyone thought his actions were justified because he saved the human race. Another important event in Ender’s story is the games he plays and how it impacts his life. The first game he plays in the story is buggers and astronauts, where he realizes how savage Peter can be to him at times. At battle school Ender plays in the battle room and also plays the mind games. These games show the raw talent Ender possesses and the aggressiveness he shows. As Ender continued to play more games, he feared he was turning into a monster like Peter. The final game Ender plays is the simulation where he finds out that it was a real attack. All of the elements are crucial in Ender’s Game because it changes Ender’s life in some

The story “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell, manages to be a staple of classic American literature despite its short length. In it, a traveling hunter named Sanger Rainsford is shipwrecked on a mysterious island, where he meets an eccentric Russian named General Zaroff who hunts people for sport. Tides turn when Rainsford turns into Zaroff’s new prey. Although the story has many strong moments, one of the most interesting is the use of foreshadowing to add elements such as depth and suspense to the plot. Foreshadowing continues throughout the short story as an important literary device and can be seen as early as the first page.

The theme of the story can be interpreted many ways, and the author of Ender's Game believes that there is no theme. One theme of this book is that the government can control your whole life without anyone even knowing that they are doing so. This is shown through how the government pushes Ender to go to School. The government then changes the rules just for Ender to make it hard for him. Then when Ender goes to Command School they tell him that the game that he is playing is not real, but at the end of the school he is told that it was a real game. The government then keeps Ender against his will at the Command School. Ender, through all of this starts, to learn this, but only when he is told that Command School was not a game, does he really

The major theme of the book is the concept of games. The context of the games helps interpret the other important ideas of the novel. The more the story unfolds, the harder it becomes to separate the games from reality. Ender's final game had a profound impact on his life, and it was, in fact, reality itself and not just a game as he had originally thought. Another theme is the relationship between children and adults. The children's lives are constantly contrasted with the lives of the adults. The children are capable of killing, manipulating, and hating, which are the worst features of adults, but they are also capable of creating and helping. Friends and enemies are another theme of the novel. Whether or not someone is a friend or enemy is never entirely clear. In the end, the ones who Ender thought were enemies, turned out to be friendly. Card proves that there are no clear distinctions between friends and enemies.

When I first read this book, I had several reactions. “Gee, that was depressing,” was the first. The second was, “I’ll bet that son of a gun, Card, put some symbolism up in that book. I wonder where it is?” It’s taken me a while, but I think I’ve figured it out. First, I want you to ask yourself: what is a game? In some cases, a game is another place for people to go to escape the bores of everyday life. In other cases, a game is the problem. The latter is the case for poor Ender. Games play a major part in this story. So what is the author trying to portray here? There is a fine line between games and reality, and the moment the line disappears, things get super screwy. “This game knows too much about me. This game tells filthy lies” (page 119).

The Story of Enders Game written by Orson Scott Card is very complex dealing with a multitude of issues in our society. Through the eyes of a brilliant child we get to feel the ups and downs of being different, a genius, war with good and evil, manipulation, and compassion. The basic

In the novel Ender’s Games, Orson Scott Card portrays the theme of identity very thoroughly through the main character Ender Wiggins. He achieves this by developing the character, helping the reader know Ender’s feelings and thoughts, and by relating most scenes back to the theme of identity. First of all, Orson Scott Card portrays the theme identity by developing the main character, Ender Wiggins. This example can be seen many times throughout the book. For example, “ Ender knew the unspoken rules of manly warfare, even though he was only six” (7). This quote gives the reader a better understanding of the character, Ender Wiggins. Orson Scott Card uses small passages like these to develop the character more and more as the book continues.
