Enders Game: 25% 1. What has been challenging for me so far? Characters. For my whole life memorizing all the characters and who each one is and there part in the book is difficult. In Enders Game, there are about 10 important characters you need to know. For me, the reading and comprehension isn't that difficult. Its more of learning who is who. For example, when someone is talking with no quotation at the end, its hard for me understand who is talking. Throughout the year of 2017-2018, I need to find a way to keep track of all the characters and understand who is who. This will help me later in the future while I am reading harder books for literature. 2. What has been interesting for me so far? I find it very interesting how a little boy named Ender could be the guy to save the world. Why a little boy with no military experience? I questioned this and analyzed it while reading. It didn't really make sense to me how a boy could save the world. I will have to read more to get a better understanding of the character, but it sounds like Ender is the key to this book. 3. Have I gotten stuck at all? What have I done to get unstuck? This question relates back to the first question which was “what has been challenging for me so far.” I have gotten stuck about 3 times so far because of …show more content…

Kessel says that this is all used to by Card to make the reader sympathize for Ender. This allows him to be portrayed as a killer who commits mass genocide, yet is innocent because he has good motives. Kessel goes on to
This quote showcases Ender’s ability to read and understand his opponent’s emotions, which ultimately leads to his success in Battle School. As Ender says, “In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him” (Card 262). The novel’s themes of war, ethics, and the human condition makes it a relevant and timeless piece of literature, and that it could still be taught in a classroom because of its modern
"…she squeezed his knee…where he had always been most ticklish. But almost at the same moment, he caught her wrist in his hand. His grip was very strong, even though his hands were smaller than hers and his own arms were slender and tight. For a moment he looked dangerous; then he relaxed." () Unknowingly Ender has surrendered to the virtuous boy he once was in exchange for the arduous adolescent he is now, confirming what the Battle School destined him to become.
My book report is on "Ender 's Game" by Orson Scott Card. Ender 's Game is a military sci-fi book that has received many awards. The author did continue the series on Ender, however the military aspect of it did not continue with the series. Ender Wiggins was only allowed to born so that he can save the human race from exstinction. Since birth he was a outcast, hated by his brother Peter, and constantly being hurt by everyone except his sister Valentine.
In the novel Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, he explores a world in which lies and manipulation are a positive idea. The main character, Ender Wiggin, is a six-year-old boy who is recruited into a battle school known as the International Fleet. This battle school was presented to the children as a place where they can train to protect Earth from an alien life form known as buggers. The students soon learn the real reason they are there. Ender in particular begins to figure out that the adults are the enemies as they have continued to lie in order to achieve cooperation.
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.
In Neal Shusterman's Unwind, unwinding a child is almost thought of as normal. Unwinding a child is taking the body parts off of a unwanted, troubled, or dead teenagers body and transplanting them to somebody that needs the body parts. The individuals that receive the body parts are known as the " unwinds. " People believe that unwinding a child is not murder because the transplanted body parts live on in the unwinds life. Unwinding children first started right after the Heartland War.
In the book “To Kill a Mockingbird,” there was a lot of courage. Courage means the ability to do something that frightens one. It takes a brave person to show courage. In the book a lot of the characters showed courage in their own way. More into the book, you’ll see more courage from the characters.
In Orson Scott Card’s book Ender’s Game, Ender is continually set up against impossible odds by the International Fleet, which is part of a plan to train Ender to fight in the Third Invasion and end the bugger wars forever. Ender’s trials are portrayed more convincingly in the book, as the book shows him struggling with the expectations placed upon him more so than in the movie. An important theme in Ender’s Game is that Ender is continually kept in the dark about the events happening around him. This theme is prevalent throughout the book, and sets the stage for the book’s climax, the Third Invasion.
Without the bugger war, Ender would not have been born, and he realizes this fact. Interestingly enough, the reader never directly see’s the war against the buggers. 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.
After he destroys the alien species, he is told that it was all real and he breaks down. The valuable lessons that Ender learns from this victory helped make the book such a successful one that won
