Enders Game
Journal Entry #1 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.
Journal Entry #2 Ender go’s to military school and he gets bullied from the start and makes a name for himself right at the beginning by braking some kids arm, so after that every one starts to put together gangs and start having gang wars in the battle rooms and in the cafeteria. There where lots of twist in this story like ender would always when the war games and he was the commander of army’s and he was just smarter than the older boys. It was pretty easy to fallow the plot if I didn’t zone out but if I did zone out than it was pretty easy to know what was happening because the story would repeat its self. The language in the book was really easy to understand there was a lot of a made up words but it was all right. The mane thing emerges in the book when it comes to the battle games and ender is better then everyone else.
Journal entry #3 The climax of the story was when ender meet bean, ender was hard on bean just like how the government was hard on ender and that made bean a lot stronger. But ender and bean come together and they start to when all

    His first and main family influence is Peter. Peter a character introduce into the beginning of the book, his brother- is one of many who bully ender because he is a “Third”. The rocky relationship between Ender and his older brother Peter are found in page 2 of the first chapter. “And Peter wont hate me anymore. I’ll come home and show him the monitor’s gone…. The I’ll be a normal kid now…” (page3). These short extracts from the chapter exemplifies that the relationship is distorted, that within it there’s hate due to the fact that Ender was different. He was a third. However Ender still had hope, “He’ll forgive me….” “Not friends… No, Peter was too dangerous. Peter got to angry. Brothers though”. (page 3). The relationship between the brothers wasn’t an ordinary one; it was filled with worries, a smidge of hope but most of all fear. Ender feared Peter, feared who he was, what he did but most of all he feared most of all him, Ender becoming Peter. “... oand cried…. I am just like peter. Take the monitor away and I am just like peter” (page 8)…

    Compared to books written long ago, books today are geared towards a completely different audience. Books then, while filled with lessons and intriguing views, are now often considered as boring and hard to read. Thus, many authors make the sacrifice of plot over thought. However, one author, Orson Scott Card, wrote a book that sacrificed neither. Even though Ender’s Game was written in 1985, its story and morals allow it to be an exciting read that’s open to literary analysis. Even today, Orson Scott Card grippingly portrays thought-provoking themes such as humanity, friendship, and warfare in his book Ender’s Game.…

    Throughout time children have always been symbolic of innocence; a reflection upon society's mindset which is why Colonel Graff's actions regarding the treatment of the children is such an abhorrent act. Although ability wise, children in the military school like Ender are mature, their emotional development is at the same stage as ordinary children outside the war based environment that they are faced with. This vulnerability ever present in children means that the audience feels that the manipulative acts by Graff towards Ender are unethical and acts of an apathetic person. This treatment by Graff also results in the…

    Analysis Of Ender's Game

    • 1985 Words
    • 8 Pages

    “I've got a pretty good idea what children are, and we're not children. Children can lose sometimes, and nobody cares. Children aren't in armies, they aren't commanders, they don't rule over forty other kids, it's more than anybody can take and not get crazy" (Card, 8.134). This shows the immense pressure put on children to behave more like adults throughout Ender’s Game. Ender’s Game has an action pact plot that focuses on the main character, Ender, maturing into a commander to save the human race. The story starts out with young boy named Ender, who is very intelligent in a school with regular kids, being monitored by the International Fleet so that they can decide whether he will make it into battle school.

    Ender's Game

    “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.…

    Violence In Ender's Game

    • 391 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Violence is a large theme in Ender’s game, and that is one reason why Peter thinks violence is the only power that matters. Not only is he wrong about that, he also says that no one will ever save you from those who choose violence and that is false. Peter has grown up thinking that violence is the only power that matters and this is false but some aspects of it are partly right. In Ender’s Game, Peter argues that the power to kill and destroy is the only power that matters, but he is wrong. However, in Ender’s case when he fights Bonzo, it is the last resort and therefore, Ender fights to protect himself. Violence should never be the first solution to solving a problem if there are other more peaceful solutions. For example, Ender always regrets…

    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.…
