The Role Of Intelligence In Ender's Game

204 Words1 Page

In Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s game, Valentine says that, “the curse of Wiggin children is intelligence” (238). What she meant by this quote was that Ender intelligence is a curse for him. Ender has been selected in the first place itself because he is smart, intelligence and like Graff said, “that he is genius among geniuses” (34). Intellectual capabilities are by far the greatest of gifts that man possesses. People who are intelligent, who are “deep thinkers” like Ender usually find themselves outside of the “social norm.” While they are creative and think outside the box, many have trouble making friends. This same thing is happening with Ender. When he first joined the Battle school he was treated differently just because he outsmarts everyone

    Ender’s Game v.s Ender’s Game movie After I read Ender’s Game I watched the movie and I can’t say the movie was bad, but many things in the movie were not relevant at all to the book. The movie was way too short and they fast forwarded too many things. They also dumbed down the twists like when Ender destroys the Buggers when he thought it was a simulation game. It even ditched all the somewhat important things. They must have cut out over 2 hours of plot between every new scene.

  • Comparing Ender's Game And The Day Earth Stood Still

    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.

    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 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.
