Control and chaos, two sides of the same concept, virtually opposites these unlike states of being are a duo that can’t be undone. Just as we strive for control, we create chaos in our wake, and when the chaos catches up, it creates a need for control. These two are like day and night, good and evil, and even like a magnet; although it has polar opposites, you can’t have a magnet with just one pole. This article will show how Ender’s Game near-perfectly embodies this relationship. Peter and Ender are brothers in a family of 5, grown up together, these 2 are completely different from one another.

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.

Throughout most of the book, Ender uses Valentine as a way of coping with the constant changes in his life and keeping himself motivated. This is proved on page 43, when Ender says, “I will not be the bugger of my group, -I didn 't leave Valentine, and Mother, and Father to come here just to be iced”. Ender uses Valentine, and his family in order to comfort himself. Ender also uses his family, including his brother Peter, to keep himself from having an emotional breakdown. This means that by comparing himself to Peter or thinking of Valentine, Ender keeps himself from turning into someone who is just a killer, rather than a strategic and wise player of the games that his Battle School are using to try to break him down.

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.

This theme is prevalent throughout the book, and sets the stage for the book’s climax, the Third Invasion.

“Just as the next blow was coming, Ender reached up with both hands, snatched the boy by his wrist, and then pulled down on the arm, hard.” () Card and his somewhat applaudable idea of power did not view it sufficient enough for Ender to request the aid of an adult. But did envision Ender reinforcing the agony brought upon him, promulgating his power in such a way he experiences yet another unintended consequence. “…the boy was feeling exactly the pain Ender had meant him to feel…I am Peter. I’m just like him.

Orson Scott Card’s use of symbolism in Ender’s Game demonstrates the central concept of games vs. reality. Ender is the only student to be introduced to an uncharted area of the Fantasy Game; designed to reflect an individual's life and mind. The future of Earth and humankind appears to lie on Ender as he faces the “End of the World”. Unceasingly, Ender proves he is willing to fall into the abyss, but without the hope of surviving. In many of his battles and in the bugger war, Ender disregarded the rules and does his best to go “down”, saving the world and bringing his comrades up from devastation.

I read this book many times during the summer, and after this encounter, I suddenly found that what he said was very relatable to the idea of the book. In “Ender 's Game”, Ender was only 8 years old (I think) when he was sent to Command School to be a commander in the humans vs. buggers war. Most people thought that the whole idea of letting a 8 year old child be the person their fate depends on was preposterous. Ender knew that the people were right, but he believed in himself and his cause. He finally defeated the buggers, and led the humans to victory.

My face now covered in the unpleasant texture of dirt and smut from the factory; now appeared to have become a part of m. My hands disarrayed and my cracked hands bandaged lay tight in my lap and now mirrored my life. I haven’t any parents to speak of so I found myself this alley where I write to you.

Importance of Violence Violence is more effective and necessary than other actions such as words during a fight against someone. In Ender’s Game, a boy named Ender Wiggin trains for a war in the Battle and Command School and encounters fights where his best option is violence. Violence is necessary because people need violence in order to win, to protect them, and because the lack of violence leads to loss. Violence is useful for winning a fight for example during the fight against Stilson, “Ender knew the unspoken rules of manly warfare even though he was only six. It was forbidden to strike an opponent who lay helpless on the ground; only an animal would do that,”(Card pg.7).
