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.
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.

Do you think you could handle having the fate of the world in your hands? Well, this prodigy, Ender Wiggin, did not think he could handle it, he could not even handle fighting with his brother Peter.

In Orson Scott Card’s novel, Ender’s Game, Ender is indirectly characterized as being confident and strategic. A specific example of Card’s characterization is when End challenges boys twice his age to play in a video. Ender knows if he loses he will never hear the end of it. Card describes his efforts towards the boys as, “Ender was deft enough to pull off a few new maneuvers that the boy had obviously never seen before… Ender won it quickly and efficiently” (47). Specifically, the word, “deft” highlights Enders calmness and confidence when against the older boys.
In the classic novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is a young man who lives in a futuristic world where hostile extraterrestrial beings known as “buggers” have attacked Earth twice, and they almost wiped out mankind in the Second Invasion. The International Fleet (I.F.) plans to attack the bugger world a third time to wipe them out for good, and they take Ender at the young age of 6 to a space station called Battle School to prepare him and other children to possibly graduate to Command School and fight the buggers. Throughout the novel, Card develops Ender’s character traits using influences from other characters, plot development, and Ender changing as he grows older. At the beginning of the story, Ender is 6 years old and wears a small device on his neck, monitoring his behavior to find out whether he is what they need to fight the buggers.
In the books “Ender’s Game” and “Unbroken” there are many themes, some being of games, others of survival and suffering. However one theme that can be found in both novels is that of the strong impact of war, both during and after it happens. In “Unbroken”, Louis Zamperini created a timeless story with his courage and will to survive through both his tribulations in war and throughout his everyday life. His story includes everything from a childhood full of mischief to an eventual trip to the Olympics.
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.
When a Movie is Not Just a Movie: The Matrix as Philosophical Paradigm, Sociological Fiction, and Mythological Allegory During the past 15 years scholars have studied and analyzed The Matrix1 against numerous contexts, not the least of which is super-cool, groundbreaking, special effects, like bullet-time 2 and computer-generated Kung Fu moves. Beyond introducing revolutionary cinematographic techniques, I believe this film has become part of the historical contextual record in at least three significant rhetorical conversations. In what follows, the Close Reading and Text in Context approaches will be used to analyze the main text against the broader contexts of postmodernity, dystopian fiction, and mythological allegory. First, I will summarize the plot and characters of the main text; then provide an overview of the three rhetorical contexts against which I will analyze the main text.
After concluding “Ender’s Game”, I feel as if one of the questions from the anticipation guide really stood out to me. The statement “Winning a fight is only honorable if it is a one on one fight” is a statement that is mostly proved wrong. I already disagreed with this statement, but the book leads me to more reasons for disagreeing. In “Ender’s Game”, Ender would repeatedly win his one on one battles with the Giant, but if he were to share and talk about his victories, it would be thought of as bragging. Where if you were to win a battle with a full team, it would be considered honorable.

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…
