The Influence Of Feed In Ender's Game

667 Words3 Pages

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” This powerful, inspirational, and strong leader had a vision. He wanted to see change in the world, so he took action and made it happen. All his actions were regarded as disobedient, but he knew that if one does not fight to make a change in this world, change will never be made. If we have learned anything from history, it should be that taking action against unjust affairs leads to breakthroughs in society. In Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Ender, the protagonist, takes a stand various times in the book, similar to the way King did. Ender was given direct orders to stay out of the battle.

Anderson’s Feed also acts in a way society views as deviant. She is tired of the immense influence that the feed has on people. This mentality leads her to rebel. “What I’m doing...is trying to create a customer profile that’s so screwed, no one can market to it.” (Anderson 98) Her goal was to stop, or at least lessen, the hold technology has on her life.

The corporations refuse to save her life because of her inability to buy their items. “We’re sorry, Violet Durn...don’t feel like you are a reliable investment...check out some of the great bargains...might be able to create a consumer portrait of you that would interest our investment team.” (Anderson 247) The corporation 's rejection to aid left a passionate, determined, young girl with a broken heart and a death sentence. Violet’s story in Feed is a prime example of how sometimes, no matter how good your intentions, change and being different backfires and, essentially, leads one to sabotage

    Therefore tricking the commander and the squadron leaders was the only choice mankind has against forces that may destroy humanity. Another reason why the command school authorities kept the truth away from Ender especially is because Ender’s personality is a combination between Valentine’s and Peter’s. Basically a mix between good and evil. If his compassionate side gave in, then the buggers might take over the world. Although his kindness might cost the destruction of his world, his killer instinct might take rash decisions.

  • Point Of View In Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card

    210 Words  | 1 Pages

    I am reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game is written from a mix of the point of views. Most of the book is written in third person limited focusing on Ender Wiggin. When Ender is hit by Bonzo, "... he cried from the pain, Ender could not help but take vengeful pleasure in the murmurs he heard rising through the barracks"(94). The use of the word "he" indicates third person point of view and since only Ender's thoughts are revealed in this scene, it is limited point of view.
