538 Words3 Pages

Imagine trying to save all humankind. Seems like a pretty big task, right? Try saving the world as a child. As Ender grows through the story, Ender realizes he is more mature for his age than any other boys or girls there. At the start of the story, Ender is visited by colonel Graff to go participate in Battle School. Ender then goes and is faced with challenges everyday to test who he is. Ender finally destroys the buggers, but finds out that they weren 't trying to hurt the humans. These important parts are shown in both the book and the movie, however the book is a better showing of Ender’s journey. There are multiple themes and plots that are necessities for Ender’s journey. One plot that was noticed was that Ender has a free pass to be a killer. When Ender kills Stilson and Bonzo, Colonel Graff immediately defends Ender by saying those kids deserved to die.

It shows that no one can beat Ender and it also represents that Ender is the quintessential recruit that the I.F. needs.

One last similarity that was noticed is that Mazer treats Ender as if Ender is going to be the commander that saves the humans. Mazer takes Ender under his wing and gives Ender the wisdom and tips he needs to be the most successful recruit in battle school. These similarities worked well because they were necessary for a good

    Especially when Ender starts off and goes to the school he is 12. I know it is hard to find a 6 year old actor, but they could’ve tried to make it so that he looked younger than he was so that it wasn’t obvious. They also could’ve made it so that when Ender thinks that he is playing a strategy game he is actually conducting an army without him knowing. They could’ve made it so that when he figures that out that this wasn’t a game the leaders of the school tranquilized him and I didn’t think it was relevant at all that they did that. It also didn’t happen in the book so I don’t see a reason for it.

    However, the majority of the battles he fights are constructed and orchestrated and controlled by the Adults. Ender lives in a military archetype which assumes humans are compliant, flexible, controllable pawns, tool to be used for the benefit of others. 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.
