Intro The endgame is a one-act play, originally written in French as (Fin de partie), translated

     Another character that best show the theme life is a game is Bonzo. Bonzo is Ender’s adversary. His life was also a game because he is an enemy, he has the advantage and he dies. Bonzo hated Ender the minute Ender stepped into Bonzo’s platoon. Right then and there Bonzo became Ender’s enemy. In many combat games there is an enemy who is trying to make it more difficult. Bonzo who is an enemy wanted Ender gone because Bonzo was jealous of Ender’s winning streak. Bonzo hated him and he was furious. On page 205, Crazy Tom questioned, “That some of the older boys want to kill you?” This quote refers to Bonzo and other soldiers. They are Ender’s enemy and they wanted to annihilate him. Every enemy’s goal is to destroy their victim and Bonzo tried with an advantage. Advantage is also another reason why life is a game. While playing games somebody always has the advantage. In this case Bonzo brought other soldiers to confront Ender. Page 207, bottom paragraph describes how seven boys were watching Ender in the showers. This example demonstrates the advantage that Bonzo has over Ender. Whether it is two against one or fighting soldiers without any weapons. Advantage is a contributing factor in games and that portrays how Bonzo’s life is a game. With an advantage a person might think you are going to win, but Ender thought differently. Ender overcame the odds and

Firstly let us consider conflict. In each act of the play, we see the overpowering desire to belong leading to a climax of conflict

The overall dramatic meaning of this play has been successfully shown by the elements of drama. The

Ender finally has one last battle simulation that involves a planet and several thousand ships. He wins the game, but then his told that all of it was real. He was commanding real ships in what he thought was a simulation. Ender is proclaimed a hero, but still fears Peter, who has great political influence on Earth. In the end, Ender finds a bugger cocoon and takes it with him as he travels into space with Valentine.

During the play Cyrano de Bergerac there are often very deep and depressing moments and to pick the audience up Edmund Rostand used humor. This is seen in all of the acts throughout the play and is one of the main uses of humor in the play. This is not the only use of humor in this play it is also used by Cyrano to hide his insecurities. Throughout the play, Cyrano makes fun of his own nose to make it seem like he is comfortable with it and so others can not make fun of it. Humor definitely plays an important role in Cyrano de Bergerac and through this essay, I will be examining the role of Humor in the play in depth.

Ender’s Game is a story about a genius young boy who is chosen to fight off the buggers, an alien race that attacked earth twice already. Ender is put through large amounts of non stop training at the “Battle School” which is located in space. Part of everyone’s training is a game that consists of 2 teams, and either team must try to get to the opposite team’s gate. Ender graduates from “Battle School” and moves on to command school. There he is put in charge of a fleet in a simulation with some of his friends commanding the ships that are in the simulation. Ender eventually has to take

The play, "An Inspector Calls", uses moralistic irony to reflect on achievements made today. He reveals the weaknesses and wickedness not only in society, but in the individual characters; which I explain

A game that the kids could play on their desk, a sort of computer, was the Giant’s Drink. It was a 3D game with a character that could go wherever the player moved it and do whatever the player wanted it to do. It had games within each world where you could collect points and things. But, at the end of the level was a giant where he offered the player two drinks that were always different. One drink would kill you and the other would let you get into Fairyland. It was an unbeatable game. The player would always die and each death was different. One time, Ender didn’t drink either glass. He burrowed his hand into the giant’s eye and they giant rolled over and died. He had gotten into Fairyland by killing the giant. Ender didn’t like being a murderer and so he cried again.

Ender’s Game is centered around a boy named Ender, who gets chosen to go to a military training center by the government, which is called Battleschool. As he grows his mind and skills, as well as his confidence, he gains friends and enemies along the way. In this novel, Ender shows the reader, and myself, that central message is that everything can be treated as a game, but, in the future, you will have to learn to acknowledge the world around you and realize that accidents and mistakes are real. You can’t just start over, you have to live with your faults, no matter how bad they are.

Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, is an exceptional novel created by an extremely smart, intuitive, and talented individual. This novel deals with several of societies’ issues and is almost satire, comparable to Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Some topics that are prominent in Ender’s Game are compassion, humanity, and the relationship between adults and children. These three elements define the main character, Ender, and influence the way he makes decisions and eventually changes the world. The setting of this particular novel is in several places (including Greensboro, N.C., Battle School, and Command School (on Eros, one of Saturn’s Moons)), but takes place somewhere in the future. From context clues, it may take place in as soon as

He gets mad and aggravated and starts to think that the game cannot be won. His character in the game always ends up on a table in front of a giant who asks him to play a guessing game. Two clear glasses are placed in front of him. Choosing the right glass means access to Fairyland; choosing the wrong one results in some kind of gruesome death. No matter many times Ender repeats this part of the game, he always ends up dead. There does not seem to be a selection that leads to Fairyland. He believes the game is rigged and although he has no real interest in Fairyland, he does have an interest in beating the giant, particularly as the challenge seems impossible. Ender knows that taking the same path will always lead to his death. The giant only plays one game, and Ender can never win. Faced with the same guessing game one more time Ender decides not to play. Instead he kicks over the glasses and jumps onto the giants face and burrows into his eyes, ultimately killing the giant. He did not want to kill the giant; he wanted to play a fair game, but he was not given that option. He learns from his experience with this game that playing by the rules does not make him a winner. He is only successful after he changes his view of the game and realizes that if he cannot win by playing by the rules he must break

Reading Ender’s game is one of those books that will completely change your view on action books, and movies. It has more meaning than what meets the eye, and has a great moral. The themes in this book are obvious all throughout the story. They are compassion, Isolation, and manipulation. They bring more feeling, and a more relatable feel to the story. All these themes are big parts of the book and make the book more interesting.

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

Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett's existential masterpiece, for some odd reason has captured the minds of millions of readers, artists, and critics worldwide, joining them all in an attempt to interpret the play. Beckett has told them not to read anything into his work, yet he does not stop them. Perhaps he recognizes the human quality of bringing personal experiences and such to the piece of art, and interpreting it through such colored lenses. Hundreds of theories are expounded, all of them right and none of them wrong. A play is only what you bring to it, in a subconscious connection between you and the playwright.
