Analysis Of Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card

“Aaaaahh!!” Turtle screamed as she saw Sam Westing’s dead body in the Westing house! People like to read and watch good mysteries just like this movie and novel. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin contains many mysteries in both the movie and novel. The Westing Game movie and novel contain many similarities and differences that are worth exploring.

After I read Ender’s Game I watched the movie and I can’t say the movie was bad, but many things in the movie were not relevant at all to the book. The movie was way too short and they fast forwarded too many things. They also dumbed down the twists like when Ender destroys the Buggers when he thought it was a simulation game. It even ditched all the somewhat important things. They must have cut out over 2 hours of plot between every new scene. It also did a few things in common like when something very important came along they would sometimes copy the text word by word. At Least it isn’t as different as “World War Z’. The book creator said, “The only thing my book and the movie had in common was the title.”

Following this line of thought, Ender’s actions during the final make him a bad person, thus disproving Card’s presentation of Ender as a perfect person with no irredeemable flaws. In conclusion, Kessel is certainly correct in his claims towards Ender’s Game and it’s hidden message. This essay takes Kessel’s point even farther however. Not only does it agree that Card tries to insert his own moral views into the book, this essay attempts to show where Card messed up, and went too

The book, Ender’s Game, is a book full of interesting events. A six year old boy named Ender Wiggin goes to Battle School, where he is continually tested and trained to become an elite commander. He succeeds at Battle School and eventually goes to Command School, where he leads his army to victory over the bugger troops. Because of this, the world is safe from being destroyed by the buggers. Even though Ender and his fleet are successful in defeating the buggers, Ender’s intelligence and skill is taken advantage of throughout the book. The I.F. takes away most of the freedom that Ender is entitled to and they manipulate him to do what they want him to do. This manipulation is quite evident throughout Ender’s Game.

Intentions matter, but is the intent the only factor in determining the morality of an action and the means getting there? Stemming from this question, the biggest issue in Ender’s Game that is still the most controversial, still remains unresolved. Should Ender, the protagonist, be held responsible for the buggers’ deaths? This theme is the basis of Card’s belief of intention-based philosophy. In Ender’s Game and his sequels, he argues that the morality of an act is based solely on the motive of the person acting.  The result is a character who can commit genocide and still remain innocent. Despite knowing the incredible atrocities Ender

The book ender's game has a lot of possible themes but the one that is the most truthful is “human nature is to destroy what we don’t know”. As humans when our instinct is to destroy anything that is different from us, we are so scared of anyone else having more power than we will kill anything in our path. The theme in ender's game is human nature is to destroy that which we do not understand and we know that because of what the bible says, the need to kill the buggers and the whole training the launchies go through.

In the novel Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, he explores a world in which lies and manipulation are a positive idea. The main character, Ender Wiggin, is a six-year-old boy who is recruited into a battle school known as the International Fleet. This battle school was presented to the children as a place where they can train to protect Earth from an alien life form known as buggers.The students soon learn the real reason they are there. Ender in particular begins to figure out that the adults are the enemies as they have continued to lie in order to achieve cooperation. In Ender’s Game, Card argues that lies can be justified for the greater good of an individual.

At the beginning Ender gets his monitor taken out. This automatically causes complications because he was a third child. In this time it was rare to have three kids, so it was likely that Ender would get picked on after the monitor was taken away. The monitor kept anybody from messing with because it helped the government watch him. After Ender get’s the monitor taken off Stilson, a bully in school, starts causing trouble. “Hey Third.’ Don’t answer. NOthing to say. ‘Hey, Third, we’re talking to you, Third, hey bugger-lover,

Childhood is not necessarily a right, but what many common households provide for their children. Although, there is also children like those from “Ender's Game” that don’t receive the opportunity to develop in what we would call a “normal childhood”. Graff states “Of course we already have your consent, granted

Innumerable volumes of people portray power as one’s capacity to exhibit their potency; their unquenchable thirst for the dominion over all. Formidable and influential flawlessly depicts the being this definition conveys, a being considerably similar to Ender Wiggin. To the lionizing eyes of Earth, he is a child deity who possessed power abundant enough to exterminate an entire extraterrestrial race, but in truth, he is a boy, rupturing from his plethora of errors. In Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card

Innumerable volumes of people portray power as one’s capacity to exhibit their potency; their unquenchable thirst for the dominion over all. Formidable and influential flawlessly depicts the being this archetypal definition conveys, a being considerably similar to Ender Wiggin. To the lionizing eyes of Earth, he is a child deity who possessed power abundant enough to exterminate an entire extraterrestrial race, but in truth he is a boy rupturing from his plethora of power hungry errors. In Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card unveils the idea that power can’t eternally be utilized in the manner you intend it to, for it inevitably leads to unintended consequences.

In Orson Scott Card’s novel, Ender’s Game, Ender is indirectly characterized as being confident and strategic. A specific example of Card’s characterization is when End challenges boys twice his age to play in a video. Ender knows if he loses he will never hear the end of it. Card describes his efforts towards the boys as, “Ender was deft enough to pull off a few new maneuvers that the boy had obviously never seen before… Ender won it quickly and efficiently” (47). Specifically, the word, “deft” highlights Enders calmness and confidence when against the older boys. Card truly exemplified his confidence when he deftly beat the other boy. Ender did not hesitate when asking the boys to play nor when playing them. Instead, he “quickly and efficiently”

With the advancement of technology new complex jobs have been created. Who else is there to take the jobs, other than humanity’s own youth? The pressure for humanity’s youth to succeed is greater than ever before. In Ender’s Game, Ender is always under pressure to win and to learn, and it takes its toll. Orson Scott Card uses the character of Ender to help demonstrate the pressure that human society puts on its youth to succeed today, through Symbolism, Imagery and Catharsis.

In a world where an alien species, called the Buggers, are an everyday impending doom, Orson Scott Card has created two stories in which the reader follows two different, young boy’s journeys through Battle School and beyond. While the main character in Ender’s Game, Ender, grew up in a nice house in the city, the main character in Ender’s Shadow, Bean, grew up on the streets and starved before being brought to Battle School. While Ender, otherwise known as Andrew Wiggin, has a family with a brother and sister, he was a “third”. A “third” child is usually against the government’s rules, but with a special waver, Ender was able to be conceived. Which is a cause for bullying early in the book Ender’s Game. On the other hand, four year old Bean
