Ender's Game Analysis

320 Words2 Pages

After concluding “Ender’s Game”, I feel as if one of the questions from the anticipation guide really stood out to me. The statement “Winning a fight is only honorable if it is a one on one fight” is a statement that is mostly proved wrong. I already disagreed with this statement, but the book leads me to more reasons for disagreeing. In “Ender’s Game”, Ender would repeatedly win his one on one battles with the Giant, but if he were to share and talk about his victories, it would be thought of as bragging. Where if you were to win a battle with a full team, it would be considered honorable. People are easier to accept the concept of celebrating full groups rather than a single person. Another example from the book that supports this

    This chapter reminds me of how I used to handle problem in real life like Ender that trying to defense myself but sometimes I accidentally hurting someone that even I don’t realize it, like how Ender defense himself so that the problem will not occurs again but he ended up hurting someone in order for his goal to occurs.

    For example, in chapter twelve, Ender and his Dragon Army battle against, not just one army, but two. Those armies are the Griffin Army and the Tiger Army. This is out of the customary, because in a normal battle, one army would face off against another, instead of one army versus two. Not only that, but Ender and his army enter the battle tired and exhausted, because they had just battled other armies every previous day of the week. This too, is out of the customary, because usually there is time for recovery and rest between each battle.

  • Comparing Ender's Game And The Matrix

    232 Words  | 1 Pages

    Through the comparative study of Ender’s Game (1985) by Orson Scott Card, and the Wachowski’s film, The Matrix (1999), the meaning of texts is enhanced and thus shows how different texts are still able to reflect similar ideas, and through diverse contexts, shape their representation of these ideas. Both texts explore the notion of privilege in society and an individual’s journey to self-actualisation. Texts are shaped by the value of the context they are composed in and this is evident through the comparison between the two texts, Ender’s Game with child soldiers and Cold wars, in correlation with Matrix where it was a time of globalisation and a rapid technological growth, and when studied together enhance their meaning.

  • The Importance Of Violence In Ender's Game

    When Ender was talking to himself he said,”the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can’t kill then you’re always subject to those who can, and no one will ever save you,”(Card pg.212). This shows that inaction can make people prone to lose against people who have power can have power over them because inaction leaves them open and defenseless to those they could restrain. This also shows that inaction leads to loss because Ender is referring to the fight against Stilson, Bonzo, and Bernard because if he had waited for the teachers to respond to call for help they would’ve overpowered him and he would’ve lost. After ender defeated the buggers Mazer Rackham told Ender, “you made the hard choice, boy. All or nothing.

Ender’s insecurities,doubts and fears, as to why he is so isolated, how he is becoming more like petter, how he is an ostracized genius, all that sets him apart– make him diligent, sympathetic, preservant, resilient, flexible, and above all pliable, impressionable, malleable, qualities far more common in children.
