Ender's Game Review The book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is about Ender Wiggin who has a chance to save the entire world with his smarts and good decisions. This means Ender has to give up his life and train for the day the buggers come again. That may be what the Story is about, but what it’s really about is that not everything is as it seems. Battle school was the place everyone wanted to go especially Ender, he wanted to get away from earth to escape all of his problems. When Ender got that chance he left home, and at the age of six he started training for the battle of his life.

After that Ender moves to the Buggers home world to live his new life. …show more content…

They all thought it was the final step before the real war, yet it ended up being the real thing right as they started “training” on Eros. Finally the Buggers.Everyone thought they were trying to kill the entire human race, but they really just wanted to live in peace, yet they didn't know that until they killed of all of them. Not everything is as it

    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.

The only war ever seen directly is the other war that Ender fights every day – the war against the teachers games, against the other kids, against his fear of becoming his brother, against the instinct that drives Ender to hurt other people. Ender’s entire life is made up of these little battles. Ender finds his identity in the battles that he fights and the challenges that he over comes.
