Compare And Contrast Ender's Game Movie And Book
The comparison and contrasting of the book and movie of Ender’s Game are slight but still there. There are quite a few ways that the book and the movie are different. First, the age at which Ender Wiggins enters into the battle school. In the book he starts at age 6 and he goes and goes all through the years, all the way up to 13. However, in the movie he starts at age 13 and does everything within a shorter amount of time. Second, in the book of Ender’s Game the aliens that they were fighting were referred to as buggers, and in the movie, they were referred to as formants. Third, the moment of when Bean had come into the story. In the book, Bean was put into Ender’s army, which was Dragon army and in the movie, Bean was a launchie with Ender

    Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game was an okay film it was neither great and neither was it bad. The movie does not include how the buggers communicate with each other, and battle school looks different from what I pictured it to be. The movie makes look the same and just move some things around. The way the movie shows the battle room is still pretty cool, because you can float around and do some awesome things while floating around. In the book the battle room would change the environment every time after a battle was finished. The battle room has these big led squares for cover. In the book ender did use the cover that had led lights on them, but he also used himself as camouflage,…

    However, there are many differences as well as similarities between the text and the film. In the book two children pick a fight with Ender: a bully named Stilson and a school rival named Bonzo subsequently both end up dead. Even though, Ender does not find out he had killed them right away it still shows us his capability and his tactics does not just defeat the enemy but destroy them and that is what makes him so important and special although, we do not see this in the movie, Ender fights them but we never find out if they end up dead or if they live. I believe it should have been a part of the movie for various reasons one because it foreshadows what happens towards the end of the movie when Ender participates in the final invasions he…

    Do you think you could handle having the fate of the world in your hands? Well, this prodigy of a kid called Ender Wiggin did not think he could handle it, he could not even handle fighting with his brother Peter. In the book Enders Game, a science fiction novel, Ender Wiggin is called upon to train in the International Fleet to become a commander and fight against the buggers. In his journey he faces many obstacles in trying to do so. I believe the book Ender’s Game is much better than the film because of the development of characters and events that happens in the book, and the hardship Ender faces to become a great leader against the buggers.…

    The world of Ender differs in many ways from today’s world. Ender is monitored by a chip in his head. The administration put this chip into his head and can see what he is thinking. There is no technology like that today on Earth and likely won’t for a significant amount of time. In today’s world we do not have to fight off aliens, while in this book it is a very common thing.…

    Change is inevitable, whether it's good or bad it happens to everyone, including Ender Wiggin. In Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, to say Ender’s life is challenging is an understatement. In a world where people are only allowed to have two children, being a third child ensures dilemma for Ender. He is constantly tormented by others around him. His sadistic brother Peter harasses him at home, and he’s bullied almost everywhere he goes. It seems as if the only person who cares for him is his sister, Valentine. As the plot progresses, Ender makes the life changing decision to leave home and all he has ever known, to be sent into outer space and attend battle school to help exterminate the Buggers, an alien race threatening human existence.

Ender always tries to imagine the perspective of a bugger. When he plays a game where he pretended to be a bugger, he tries to feel how it thinks. “He put on the mask.

    “Don't judge a book by its cover!” your mom tells you for the third time this week. It's not your fault that the new kid at school is shy and distant. They're weird , not you--right? Well that’s not always the case, and your misperceptions could cause you to become enemies. The same concept applies in Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, but the outcome is devastating. Ender Wiggin, a six year old genius, battled everyday with the conflict brought on by his hateful brother, Peter, who did everything in his power to weaken Ender. The tension heightened when Ender remained the only one of three children to be monitored by the government. Because of this monitoring, the government took notice of his analytical mind and intellect. Colonel Graff, a government official, then asked him to join an elite program called Battle School where young boys and girls were trained to fight the Buggers (aliens). Though he was under pressure with memories of his brother's cruelty looming, he still managed to pass his training. Eventually, his success as a Commander unknowingly and sadly resulted in the death of an entire civilization. Orson Scott Card directly illustrates through the casting of “good” and “evil” characters the importance of communication. Ender and Peter, Valentine, and the Buggers are perfect illustrations of how the lack of communication can cause failure among human relationships.…

    When I walked into the movie theater, there were a good amount of people that came to see it. They all seemed to have a feeling of anticipation for this movie adaptation of the novel. I bet that most of the people that were in the theater the night that I went to watch it all read the book about, so they know what they are getting into and the book has been out for a while so needed to have established some sense of familiarity with the movie. I noticed a group of people that were commenting on how it would be a spectacular movie adaptation is going to be, they were in for a special treat. I went to see this movie with my girlfriend, since she is an action movie sci-fi buff, she was very respectful and let me analyze and critique this movie for this essay. I went to Gateway during the middle of the week on a day I didn’t have homework, I made it into a date night. It wasn’t opening night, since I didn’t realize this movie was assigned until later in the week. The mood of the crowd was full of anticipation and then regret at the end of the movie. I fitted in with the crowd since I knew the plot behind this movie. I was comfortable with the whole production since I was ready for whatever this movie was going to throw at me.…
