Alai helps Ender bridge the gap between himself and the rest of his launch group, and even when Ender is promoted to Salamander Army, he and Alai stay friends. Theirs is a friendship that will last through the end of the book. When ender is promoted to Salamander Army, his commander Bonzo Madrid tells Ender to stay out of the way, that he’s not to enter the battles until the first five minutes are over and that he is absolutely not to draw his weapon because he doesn’t know how to use it. Petra Arkanian, the top marksman in Salamander and Ender soon become friends, and she teaches him after regular classes, and battles.

One of the most graphical scenes in the book was a fight between Ender and Bonzo in the shower. Ender starts out pretending to be scared to in order for Bonzo feel like he has power. "Bonzo swung his leg as if to kick but changed it to a leap". "Bonzo 's tight, ribs came against Ender 's face, and his hands slapped against his back, trying to grip him. Without seeing him, Ender knew it would bring his face closer, almost in Ender 's hair; so instead of kicking, he lunged upward off the floor, with the powerful lunge of the soldier bounding from the wall and jammed his head into Bonzo 's face (Card 211)."
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.
This chapter reminds me of how I used to handle problem in real life like Ender that trying to defense myself but sometimes I accidentally hurting someone that even I don’t realize it, like how Ender defense himself so that the problem will not occurs again but he ended up hurting someone in order for his goal to occurs. I dislike this chapter because of how it’s like a set up that was planned by the teachers, that’s why when they fight together in the bathroom teachers was there to help Ender, but they just comes in when the fight was almost over and that Bonzo is injured. “Now the teachers would come. The medical staff. To dress the wounds of Ender’s enemy.

Evaluating Kessel’s Game Is there a such thing as an innocent killer? Can someone who destroys a planet and commits mass genocide be viewed as a hero? According to John kessel this is attempted in Ender’s Game a science fiction novel written by Orson scott card in 1985. In 2004 Kessel wrote an article titled “Creating the innocent killer Ender's game intention or morality”. In his analysis he comes to the conclusion that Card presents the protagonist, Ender, as a character who is abused, manipulated, sincere, and innocent.
In the book, it is made completely clear that the system of both the Battle School and Command School are breaking Ender down, ultimately demonstrated by Ender being completely bedridden after the Third Invasion due to everything he’s endured. This also happens with the movie’s presentation of the characters, with more characters being sympathetic to Ender. This completely overrides a plot point in the book,
The whole time Ender had not been aware he had killed them, and the leaders were manipulating him for his own sake. They explain that they didn’t tell him that he actually killed both Bonzo and Stilson; so that he wouldn’t think of himself as a killer. Throughout the book Ender repeats that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone and doesn’t like that he has to be violent in order to be safe. If Ender would’ve found out, it would destroy his motivation and drive to want to be the best he can be. All in all, Ender is an overall better person because of the fact he didn’t know the
Bonzo Madrid is a supporting character in Ender’s Game, and commander of Salamander Army. He is described by Ender as tall, having slender lips, and beautiful black eyes. Bonzo has potential of being a good commander but lacks the ability to be a leader. He does not know how to unite his army, using threats and intimidation to earn his loyalty rather than respect. Bonzo hates Ender for being kinder and smarter than himself, letting his pride get in the way of situations.
Innumerable volumes of people portray power as one’s capacity to exhibit their potency; their unquenchable thirst for the dominion over all. Formidable and influential flawlessly depicts the being this definition conveys, a being considerably similar to Ender Wiggin. To the lionizing eyes of Earth, he is a child deity who possessed power abundant enough to exterminate an entire extraterrestrial race, but in truth, he is a boy, rupturing from his plethora of errors. In Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card To be vague, Ender’s usage of power is persistent, him not ceasing until the annihilation is complete. “Ender…kicked him again…
2. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson stated that “governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” From what source do the people derive the right to establish government? • How “consent of the governed” is related to the concept of popular sovereignty? • Does natural rights philosophy justify a right to revolution?
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.
Quarter 2 Term Paper In Ender's Game, Earth is at war with the buggers, an alien species that has been a threat to humankind for a very long time. The humans think that they are attacking to gain land, but they can not know for sure. Mazer Rackham, Ender's teacher, thinks they have different reasons for attacking. "The buggers don't talk.
However, the majority of the battles he fights are constructed and orchestrated and controlled by the Adults. 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. Supporting quote: “‘So what do we do now?’ asked Alai.
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.
