Ender’s Games Summary In Ender’s Game, earth had previously been attacked by aliens, called buggers, and were going to attack again in the future. The main character is Ender Wiggin, who has a sister named Valentine, and a brother named Peter. He and his sister have a very close relationship, but his brother is crazy and wants to kill him. In the beginning, Ender beat up a bully, and when asked why he said that it was to prevent future problems, which made the colonel decide that Ender was a good candidate as commander for dealing with the future alien problems. So, the colonel, Hyrum Graff, sends Ender to the Battle School, located in orbit around earth. There him and the other cadets participate in zero- gravity war simulations, which …show more content…
And Valentine decides to publish with him. And eventually their works are recognized by the government, and taken seriously by the government. And back at the Battle School, Ender gets promoted up to command school on a different planet. Here Ender trains in war simulation games, against the bugger race. After multiple preliminary simulations, the simulation become harder and more intense. These battles and the isolation of being at command school, all cause Ender to become more and more depressed. And at this point, multiple of Ender’s friends from Battle School arrive, to serve as sub- commanders, and help Ender with the battle simulations. Finally Ender reaches the final simulation, a battle to destroy the buggers’ queens’ homeworld. During this battle, Ender and the rest of the commanders face overwhelming odds due to how vastly outnumbered they are. Here Ender acts unusually ruthless in the sim, in order to achieve expulsion from command school. Ender sacrificed his entire squad to ensure that the Molecular Detachment Device to destroy the planet and the all remaining bugger forces along with it, making them
From a young boy who loved playing games and went to school turned into an aggressive little boy with the intelligence to defeat an alien species. By going to battle school, Ender has been influenced by learning many tactics and using them to hurt the fellow members of his battle school. “I am crazy, but I think I’m OK, I decided that when you were about to kill me, and I decided to kill you first, I guess I am just a killer to the core” (303). Ender utilizes his force to bring down individuals from his own group.
Ender’s Game is a book about Ender (Real name Andrew) Wiggin. Ender is a third (not allowed at the time unless the government allows it.) he went to battle school when he was 6 years old he bounced for army to army until he got his own army the dragon army. When he was too good for battle school he was moved to command school where he and his friends are tricked into killing the buggers.
In Chapter 14 Ender and his friends were to believe their final evaluation is the last test and game before they go to battle against the buggers for real. But Ender and his companions believed these stimulators were just games they were playing against fake enemies. Not until they have succeeded their final test did General Graff and Mazer Rackham explain that these games they were playing were actually the real deal. I believe that the Command School authorities were justified on how they handled Ender’s and his peers final evaluation because sometimes lying and keeping the truth away from somebody for the good of humanity is worth the mistake that has been done. Without tricking Ender and his friends they would not take any necessary risks to battle
Imagine yourself expected to be the leader of the human space fleet with the fate of humanity on your shoulders, along with a psychotic brother threatening murder. In the book, Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card, Ender is expected to be the commander of the human space fleet with the goal to defeat an alien species named the buggers. On his journey to command stardom, Ender faces many problems in battle school and back home on Earth. Choosing between the book and movie, the book illustrated a better and more exciting reading experience than the movie. There are many major themes in the Enders Game.
One day Ender found out a computer game called the mind game. He played the game in such a way where no one has tried. The military commanders saw what he did and promoted him to Salamander Army. He becomes friend with Petra, the only girl in the army. onzo Madrid, the commander of the Salamander, hates Ender and he does not want him to participate during the battlegame.
In the classic novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is a young man who lives in a futuristic world where hostile extraterrestrial beings known as “buggers” have attacked Earth twice, and they almost wiped out mankind in the Second Invasion. The International Fleet (I.F.) plans to attack the bugger world a third time to wipe them out for good, and they take Ender at the young age of 6 to a space station called Battle School to prepare him and other children to possibly graduate to Command School and fight the buggers. Throughout the novel, Card develops Ender’s character traits using influences from other characters, plot development, and Ender changing as he grows older. At the beginning of the story, Ender is 6 years old and wears a small device on his neck, monitoring his behavior to find out whether he is what they need to fight the buggers.
When Ender kills Stilson and Bonzo, Colonel Graff immediately defends Ender by saying those kids deserved to die. Another point is, when Ender beats the simulated Giant game. He is the only one that has ever done so. The last necessary plot is when Ender leads the Dragon Army to win every battle they were in. It shows that no one can beat Ender and it also represents that Ender is the quintessential recruit that the I.F. needs.
Utterly destroying the entire planet and all of the fighters, Ender rejoices until he is told he was never playing a game, that all of the starships had people and that he had just command and won the third invasion against an alien race, killing them all and their homeworld with them. This is his
"…she squeezed his knee…where he had always been most ticklish. But almost at the same moment, he caught her wrist in his hand. His grip was very strong, even though his hands were smaller than hers and his own arms were slender and tight. For a moment he looked dangerous; then he relaxed." () Unknowingly Ender has surrendered to the virtuous boy he once was in exchange for the arduous adolescent he is now, confirming what the Battle School destined him to become.
After going into space for battle training, he becomes isolated from the other students immedetaly. Ender overcoming challenges finally begins to be accepted by the other students, only to be transferred and isolated again.
In Orson Scott Card’s book Ender’s Game, Ender is continually set up against impossible odds by the International Fleet, which is part of a plan to train Ender to fight in the Third Invasion and end the bugger wars forever. Ender’s trials are portrayed more convincingly in the book, as the book shows him struggling with the expectations placed upon him more so than in the movie. An important theme in Ender’s Game is that Ender is continually kept in the dark about the events happening around him. This theme is prevalent throughout the book, and sets the stage for the book’s climax, the Third Invasion.
Without the bugger war, Ender would not have been born, and he realizes this fact. Interestingly enough, the reader never directly see’s the war against the buggers. The only war ever seen directly is the other war that Ender fights every day – the war against the teachers games, against the other kids, against his fear of becoming his brother, against the instinct that drives Ender to hurt other people. Ender’s entire life is made up of these little battles. Ender finds his identity in the battles that he fights and the challenges that he over comes.
After he destroys the alien species, he is told that it was all real and he breaks down. The valuable lessons that Ender learns from this victory helped make the book such a successful one that won
