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.

Staying out of conformity by being a unique person, even if it means someone won’t like that person lets that person be an original person. When Ender, the main character from Ender’s Game, tries to be an average kid, he never lives up to his full potential. Valentine’s original voice is more powerful then sounding like someone else. When Ender realizes that Peter, his older brother, won’t accept him even if his is average, he strives to be himself.

In Ender's Game it is never entirely clear who is a friend and who is an enemy. Graff, Anderson, and Rackham, who are undoubtedly Ender's friends, appear to him as enemies and are forced to do so. Peter attempts to befriend Valentine merely to get what he wants, but she never forgets that he is not a real friend.

What could be better than a six year old boy killing two people, going to battle school, becoming a commander and killing an entire species? And he did all that by the time he was 13 years old. There’s a little bit of a difference between the book Enders game and the movie Ender Game. In the book Ender Wiggins was 6 years old and by the end he was 13 but in the movie he stayed 16 the whole time.

THEME: The line between good and evil is sometimes unclear, and as a result, people often think that they are doing the right thing when it is actually the wrong action, and vice versa.

“Human beings are free except when humanity needs them… Individual human beings are all tools that the others use to help us all survive”. In this quote, Colonel Graff explains to Ender his justification for stripping him of his freedom. Although Ender perceives him as manipulative, Colonel Graff firmly believes that he is doing right by humanity. In some ways, Colonel Graff was correct in saying that individual human beings are tools. However, what Colonel Graff failed to recognize is that removing the freedom of a person does not make them a tool for the rest of humanity, it makes them a tool for their oppressor. Individual human beings do help the rest of humanity, but they need to think freely in order to advance us as a society.

As with any species, our cultural experiences shape how we think and thus how we act. We are also bound to describing reality by certain forms of logic. Recognition of how we understand communication through logic and how our experiences influence our perceptions only allows us partial comprehension of truly understanding difference. It would be more accurate to describe these ideologies as liaisons for grasping the much more wholesome complexity of encounters. This transcendent understanding of the interactions between species can only be fulfilled upon realization of empathy and its implications.

It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, then happiness as we can manage it." (Card 277) Graff may say he's a tool, but is he the one who's going to go out and fight these buggers? He did, but only by accepting that he is a tool, an indentured servant. The entire reason for his conception was so that he could hopefully be a great leader that would help save civilization from 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

“You won’t fail, Ender. Not this early in the course. You’ve had some tight ones, but you’ve always won. You don’t know what your limits are yet, but if you’ve reached them already you’re a good deal feebler than I thought.” (Card 286). Ender’s Game is a dystopian novel by Orson Scott Card that follows the training and thoughts of the protagonist, Ender, ultimately ending with the destruction of an alien race, the buggers. Ender’s militaristic and desperate society forces him to unwillingly commit genocide to an extent where Ender’s withering and empathetic mind begins to question the consequences of his actions.

The buggers from Orson Scott Cards Enders game and subsequent novels, at first appear to be bug eyed monsters, a science fiction cliché. However as the story develops it becomes apparent that the buggers are much more than just a cliché, they develop as a sentient species, they undergo a transformation from varelse, “the true alien” (speaker 34) into raman “the stranger that we recognise as human but of another species”. (34) As this transformation occurs Ender learns a great deal from the buggers, in this manner card illustrates that there is much one can learn from the transformation of varelse to raman.

This novel is about a brilliant military strategist, Ender Wiggin, whose story takes place in the future where there is a constant threat of an invasion from aliens who have been given the slanderous nickname, Bugger. Ender’s childhood is not an easy one considering he gets teased at school for being a “third” only to come home to an abusive brother who is always harassing Ender and his sister Valentine and he has the weight of the world on his shoulders because they believe that he is the last hope for mankind to fight off the Buggers. After many years of monitoring Ender the International Fleet decides they want to recruit Ender into Battle
