Setting: Enders Game takes place in the Future. It basically has what we have right now, but since it was published in 1977, this is how they thought the future was going to be. The story takes place in 5 different settings, but their are 2 main places, such as Battle School, which is where the I.F (International Fleet, the only army able to fight the buggers.) takes kids to train them to be marines in the fight for humanity. Their is also Fairyland, which is part of a mind game which is used in Battle School. Here, Ender learns his fears, and at the end of the story, it plays a significant role. Characters: The bad guys of this story are the Buggers, which are the aliens that are attacking Earth. There is also Peter, who is Enders main enemy. Peter is Enders brother who wants to kill him and his sister, Valentine. He is Enders worst fear too, because he is the only enemy Ender could not overcome. The good guys are Ender and Valentine. Valentine is the person Ender trusts most, and he loves her, not just because she is his sister, but because she is the only one who was nice to him. Ender is small, a seven year old, but the fate of the existence of human-kind rests on his shoulders. He is manipulated, lied to, attacked, broken down, betrayed, and hated. Summary: …show more content…

He is being hurt in many ways by many people or things. The buggers, an alien race is attacking earth, and almost wiping out humanity. This all takes place in the future, but the humans have not moved from earth, as you would have imagined. The buggers are not angry or jealous of the humans, but merely consider them as we consider insects, unimportant. As Ender goes through school, he is constantly manipulated. Even at the final battle, he doesn't know that he is fighting a real fight.

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.

Summary Of Ender's Game

901 Words | 4 Pages

Ender does show his feelings of kindness and other emotions occasionally throughout the book, but we see more of his dangerous “Peter-like” side than anything. Peter always seemed to take things too far, because of his power hungry wants. Although Ender doesn’t necessarily want everyone to bow down to him, he does go a little out of hand when he gets angry. His burts could almost make the reader describe him as having a “rage disorder”, which, according to valleybehavioral.com, is violent outbursts filled with “sudden episodes of unwanted anger.” Ender takes his anger out on others when he stressed or sad, and usually, without meaning too, ends up killing someone.

“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.

His compassion is proven many times, and one of them is the fact that he hates that he feels just like Peter. If Ender had no compassion, why would he have regretted acting like Peter? Ender is also very sympathetic to Bean (even though Ender tries not to show it) and Ender would see himself in Bean, how small and young Bean is but still so determined. Ender initially realizes that he is isolating Bean because Ender himself was once isolated and he wants to force Bean to flourish like Ender did. Ender also has so much empathy that he would think like the buggers, and could understand and anticipate them.

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.

Atticus Finch In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

284 Words | 2 Pages

Atticus Finch's character I think is good because of the way he treats his kids, the way he reacts to violence and the way he refuses to treat anyone any different than the next person especially black people and during this time that is not something you would normally see. especially not a black man who was wrongly accused of rape like and ended up dying to cover a white woman's lie like tom robinson did. I think that in the book that is the number one thing that makes him different and have a good character even though everyone poked and spit at him for it he still defended tom robinson the best he could even though it was really a lost cause which is more than anyone else would have ever done for him. I also think atticus finch is
