It only takes 15lbs of pressure to crush someones testicals; Ender strikes both Stilson and Bonzo in the balls at full force… just think about that for a second. Ender’s Game is about a young boy who is chosen to lead an assault against an alien home world that once tried to invade Earth. throughout the book and movie we see how Ender is isolated and sculpted into the best commander possible; and how he destroys the alien planet. Although both the book and the movie are good, the book is definitely more interesting and is written better.

This has to happen because it is the big concluding even in Ender's Game. Along with these there are other similarities between the book and the movie that aren't critical to the story. …show more content…

For one thing, both the book and the movie have Ender kill or seriously injure Bonzo and Stilson, this isn't something that has to happen to progress the story but it does show how Ender develops as a character. Another similarity is that many of Ender's friends were the same in both. His friend are important because they help shape Ender and help him with his goal. Finally Ender's brother Peter is in both, although his importance is different he still changes how Ender acts. Peter is important because Ender tries to avoid being like Peter, but inevitably can't.

    Ender then sets out on a journey to find a new home for the buggers where they can live in peace. The detail within the book, along with the greater influence placed on characters other than Ender within it, make the novel better than the movie. Three of the most important points in Ender’s game are how Ender was selected for battle school, how he overcame each challenge he faced as he tried to be moved up to command school, and how he tried to make things right at the end of the story with the bugger species. Ender’s parents were selected to have a third child, something that was not permitted by the government.

    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.

  • The True Meaning Of Ender's Game By John Kessel

    1179 Words  | 5 Pages

    John Kessel makes a few good points about Ender’s Game and the damaging effect it has on the readers. Kessel makes his stance clear and expresses four main points that Orson makes during his book: Ender is innocent and perfect, Training equals intent, intention is based on morality, and you do not have to worry about the families who were affected by the deaths of both the Stilson and Madrid boys. After reading the book myself, the points above seem to be valid and they seem to make up the book. Ender is “perfect”. Early in the book(not even past the first chapter), Andrew Wiggin beats up a little boy named Stilson and shows no mercy as it is later said that he kept beating him to the point of death.

    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.

    This lessens the scope of how much the International Fleet has been lying to Ender, leading to the reveal being less dramatic. The movie also completely erases the Locke and Demosthenes subplot, removes the epilogue of Ender moving to a colony with Valentine, and then replaces it with Ender finding the queen bugger’s egg on the same planet as the Command School and leaving to find a safe home for it. This also gets rid of the parallel between Ender and Peter at the end of the book, where it’s pointed out that in spite of Peter being portrayed as exceedingly cruel, he prevents the war on Earth which saves millions of lives. Ender kills billions of buggers in the Third Invasion, almost wiping out their race completely, despite being described as gentle and not wanting to hurt anyone. The movie’s tendency to cut anything not deemed an important event also makes it seem that Ender is unaffected by most of the events that occur.

    Though, it goes past the ordinary conventions by making the commanding officers the opponent instead of the aliens. Ender’s game portrays a possible society where governments are in more control over its civilians and some of the technological advancements in the novel are similar to today’s technology. The novel also introduces the reader to a misjudged alien race where humans see these strange beings as a threat and wish to annihilate them. Ender is tricked into destroying their entire race causing the humans to become the true alien invaders.
