Have you ever read the book or watched the movie Ender’s Game? Did you notice that there are many things that are different in both, and how they're also alike? In the movie it leaves out details and events that happen, when in the book it tells you everything that happens with details. When reading the book, it's hard to interpret different things and it's hard to imagine what they're talking about. For example, when the author talks about the different tactics and strategies that Ender or the buggers/formies use, it's hard to imagine what he’s talking about, and then when you watch the movie, you have a better understanding of what the author was talking about. If the book and movie were identical, then the movie would be about four …show more content…

For starters, Major Anderson was a girl in the movie, and a guy in the book. In the book, when Ender got onto the spacecraft to go to Battleschool, no one had their seat belts on, Ender was the first to put his on, when in the movie everyone had theirs on already. You might not of noticed this one, but in the movie, they made them take self defense classes, but in the book Ender decided to take self defense classes because of Bonzo. When Ender and Bonzo were fighting in the bathroom, in the book Alai came in to get Ender out of there, and in the movie, Alai didn't. Graff visits Valentine at her house instead of at her school in the movie, and in the book he meets her at the school. Another thing you might not of noticed was that Ender skips joining Rat army in the movie, but in the book it talks about how Bonzo traded Ender into Rat army, and how he was in Dink’s toon. A little difference you notice is that Ender and Petra talk to each other at 1:00 AM before their final battle at Command School in the movie, but in the book they don't do that. You might of noticed that in the movie they called the enemy, Formies, while in the book they're called Buggers.

    The book Ender's Game is a great read. It has a strong and interesting plot that keeps you interested in the book, but on the other hand the movie is a lot different. I don’t feel the director did a bad job, but he left out and changed some things from the book that kind of change up the story. The book Ender’s Game takes place in space on a battleship far from Earth. The story follows a boy named Ender Wiggin, who is a child genius, that was selected by the military to save the Earth from being destroyed by the buggers, which is an alien race.

    Really the movie is more of a summary of the book, rather than a tie in. One good thing about the simplicity of the movie was the fact that it wasn’t really that hard to follow, which is good for the average movie goer who wants a decent movie to sit down to that looks good and enjoy popcorn with. Where do I even start with the difference between the book and the movie. Firstly the movie places most of the side characters out of order when they show up, for example when ender is launching off for the first time to battle school he meets Alai and Bean on the launch. In the book Alai is already in salamander army to begin with in the story.

    Human Views on Aliens Humans are known to be the most competitive race on Earth, but what do they do when an extraterrestrial race challenges that authority? In the novel Ender’s Game and the movie The Day Earth Stood Still, by Orson Scott Card and Robert Wise respectively, the way humans perceive aliens is usually negative even if the aliens mean no harm. This is important because humans don’t understand that a race that is competing with them might not be trying to harm them, even if they are different. Sometimes these misunderstandings can cause dangerous consequences. The first major difference is the setting.

    I believe the book Ender’s Game is more exceptional than the film because of the development of characters and events that happens in the book, and the hardship Ender faces to become a great leader against the buggers. Throughout the story of Ender’s Game, Ender is constantly being isolated by Colonel Graff in order for Ender to think, make decisions, and respond to situations by himself. This isolation is to prepare Ender to become a great leader in battle. In the story, Graff orders to have Ender’s monitor taken out to observe how Ender responds to mistreatment from bullies.
