    Enders Game

    • 513 Words

    I selected this book because I was thinking that it would keep me entertained and make it so that I will not fall asleep. This was one of those books that it did not matter about what happened before it you can just start reading it from the start, so before the book began I have now idea what happened I just started to read the book and I liked it. When the book begins it starts out with ender and his brother and sister and his brother is mean and is always threatening his younger brother ender and his younger sister. In this story it is the narrator that is telling it. The setting was important because it was at Enders house at first and his older brother, bulling hem, which made ender stronger and made it so that he would look out for himself. In the beginning the author held my interest because the government shipped ender off to military school at age three.…

    Analysis Of Ender's Game

    • 1985 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The main differences that I saw between the two were character development, details, and an overall better timing of event. Although the movie wasn’t horrible it did not develop its characters like the book was able to. Character development is a key aspect of a story that allows the reader/watcher to connect with the characters, understand why they make certain decisions, and to form emotional ties with the story. Throughout the book Orson Scott Card adds immense details on Enders life that allow us to connect with him. Some of the details that the book showed that the movie did not were Enders hatred of Peter, intelligence, and the effect being a third had on Ender. All of these combined allowed us readers to connect and understand Ender which eaily increased the enjoyment from reading the book. All of the characters were developed in the book in such a way that brought them all closer together and explained some of the weird situations in the book and movie. There were many details that did not make it from the book to the movie which caused the movie to be boring and have less meaning behind certain important scenes. A prime example of this is Enders important strategy of not just defeating the enemy, but destroying it. The book showed three great examples of this that add together and allow us to better understand why Ender acted so…

    His sister, Valentine, was needed to convince him that he needed to reenlist and save the human population from the buggers (alien species). After his conversation with his sister Ender moves on to command school where he prepares to become the battle commander of the entire International Fleet. He trains with the great Mazer Rackham who had won the second invasion for the humans. Some of Enders close friends from battle school become his platoon leaders and help him win almost all of his battles. After much training Ender is faced with a final test in which he faces an almost unbeatable enemy where he only won by completely destroying their home planet and queens/controllers. It is then revealed to Ender that his training battles had not been training, it had been him facing a real enemy which he had destroyed. Although Ender is a hero, he feels horrible and is relieved that he finds a bugger egg with which he could repopulate the bugger race. As we read the book and watched the movie I believe that the book is better than the movie for many reasons.
