Often, authors often use literary techniques to convey a particular effect, which can range from a tone, a message, a sense of danger, a feeling, etc. Portraying these techniques throughout a text allows the reader to develop a deeper understanding of said text. In the book Ender's Game, the author Orson Scott Card, uses foreshadowing, comparison, and inner dialogue to convey a sense of danger that renders the readers feeling.

A huge part of the theme of Ender's Game is saying that life is just a game. This is proved by the concept that Ender has to succeed through different 'levels' of life in order to achieve what the battle school has set out for him-killing the buggers. This is proved by the quote,”-Because most boys in this school think the game is important for itself, but it isn't. Its only important, because it helps them find kids who might grow up to be real commanders.” This is the real point of the book in which Ender fully realizes that The Battle School is really just a game. The symbols of this main idea is the armies, friends, enemies, and leaders that Ender comes in contact with in the Battle School. All of the friends, enemies, armies, and leaders that Ender meet are all part of Ender

Ender did not have a good childhood. At the age of six he was changed from a little boy into a soldier in a six year old’s body. He was worked to the breaking point and even had a mental breakdown. Ender was take by th I.F. so that he could be trained to save the world, but he didn’t know that this involved, blocking all forms of contact with his family and being pushed to be perfect at everything until he had a mental break down. Somehow he managed to win the war, but as a result he became a young man with no friends and no life. Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, demonstrates the effects of taking away children's rights by working them too hard, forcing them to solve every problem themselves, and are forced into armed combat against each other.

Viktor E. Frankl (who is he) once said “When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.” This quote suggests that sometimes things are out of one’s hands, and you must change your perspective to make a positive outcome of the situation. In Orson Scott Card's “Ender's Game”, the violent and manipulative environment that surrounds Ender leads him to become a cynical and jaded character. This demonstrates that children should be protected from such environments to preserve their innocence.

“Human beings are free except when humanity needs them. Maybe humanity needs you. To do something. Maybe humanity needs me—to find out what you're good for” describes that each person has a purpose in society (23). In Orson Scott Card’s novel Ender’s Game, a young boy named Ender Wiggin is chosen to fight an alien race called “the buggers” because he has the greatest traits in order to become a successful military commander. Ender Wiggin is an innocent boy, whom everyone seems to have a problem with due to the fact they are jealous of him. He feels this is unfair and soon realizes what he does is beneficial to humanity. Ender Wiggin changes his view of things when he goes to battle school, he learns that every person really is a tool in society.

The Three Most Influential People in Ender’s Life In the award-winning novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card there are many characters that influence Ender throughout his travels. Ender is influenced in one way or another by just about every person he comes into contact with. Most of these influences, however, are very subtle and do not make a direct or dramatic change in his life. There are three main people that Ender spends a lot of time with that influence him the most.

In Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, Ender Wiggin is compassionate, which enables him to connect with people, understand others, and repay his debt to the buggers. Ender is very compassionate since he understands others, even his enemies, like when he gets into fights with other people. For example, when Ender defeats the Giant in the game by scratching his eyes out, he realizes that he is “doing it again…[He’s] hurting other people again, just to save [himself]” (Card 115). The quote shows that Ender does not mean to hurt people like Stilson and Bernard. He just has to deal with them because that is what has to be done. He definitely regrets his actions and wishes that they would just leave him alone so that he would not have to hurt them. This shows

Ender’s theme: Always making a good choice for others to benefit even though it may not be the correct one. Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, shows on numerous occasions that some of the choices characters in the book have to make can be very difficult including Ender. Throughout Ender’s early life, he was constantly bullied by his brother and classmates They would be waiting, though, the bad ones. It was Stilson, of course. He wasn’t bigger than most other kids, but he was bigger than Ender.

George has only rapped and murdered all innocent girls. Since George has killed many girls before, that gives him an advantage on how to get them to fall in his traps and how not to get caught. “I followed him a little farther into the cornfield where nobody goes to.” (Suise pg. 6) This demonstrates how smart George is because, he made a hiding spot where no one ever comes by so no one would be able to help Suise. Ender was chosen to lead them into war against aliens and had to prepare in outer space. "….. I destroy them. I make it impossible for them to ever hurt me again. (Ender) This shows that Ender is serious when comes to fighting an enemy. He has no mercy and wants to destroy his enemy once and for all so they won’t attack again. George Harvey tries to get Suise sister Lindsay and Ender always gets into arguments with his brother.

All that Ender does in the book shows that he cares about others, no matter what. Ender is cursed but blessed at the same time. What I mean by this is that when he fights all of the fights in the book from Stilson to Bernard to the Buggers, he beats them all senselessly to ensure that there are no future conflicts between them all. It says “Ender kicked him again, viciously, in the ribs. Stilson groaned and rolled away from him. Ender walked around him and kicked him again, in the crotch.”(6). As you can see, he beats up Stilson extremely bad, but then feels sorry for it. After the fight with Stilson, it claims that “Ender leaned his head against the wall of the corridor and cried until the bus came.”(6). Second, Ender is a dynamic character with different levels of characteristics that describe him in different situations. When he is fighting the giant in chapter 10 of Ender’s Game, “he burrowed into the eye, climbed right in, burrowed in and in”(51). He found a way to beat the giant without losing the game to the cheap programmers. So, this shows that Ender is a witty hero. Lastly, Ender is a very smart character. He very early figures out the adults at camp are trying to manipulate the kids to fight and destroy. Ender also figures out how to “counter” bullies that were trying to hurt him all the time. Not only can he counter-attack, but he can now take that skill and use it

“This is how humans are: we question all our beliefs, except the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question.” This quote by Orson Scott Card in the Ender’s Game sequel, Speaker for the Dead, points out that it is in human nature to question beliefs and ideas. Reading Ender’s Game for the first time, I saw a boy in the future who was struggling through battle, and later command school. However, when I looked a little closer, I noticed much deeper ideas implanted in the story by Orson Scott Card, no doubt on purpose, to make his readers think; to make them question. There are multiple themes weaved throughout Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, among them; manipulation, xenophobia, and compassion, all of which are interrelated.

“It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone” (Hans F. Hansen). The book Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card, describes the journey Ender took to stand alone and become a leader. At the age of six, Ender qualified to go to battle school, and he made the decision to go. This choice affected the rest of his life. Battle school is a school in space where children have education, but also learned to fight buggers. They played games which they fought each other in anti-gravity battle room. Ender exceeded everyone else and one day the world was going to depend on him. Ender is a marvelous leader because of his unbelievable intelligence, his compassion to see others succeed, and his ruthlessness to protect.

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
