Summary Of Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card

Have you ever tried to get someone to do something but they end up doing something totally different, or the opposite thing. Well, this happens a lot in the book Ender’s Game. What this story by Orson Scott Card is about is Ender Wiggin winning the war against the buggers, but what it is really about is if you manipulate people you might not always get the outcome you expect. In the book Ender’s Game a boy named Ender Wiggin decides to go to battle school, so he can fight in the war against the alien buggers. In battle school Ender meets Alai, Bean, Petra and Dink who all help him become a better commander when he gets his own army. Ender kills his enemy Bonzo and quits battle school, so he ends up going home to see his sister Valentine,

This is true because when Bonzo tries to kill Ender, Ender ends up killing Bonzo. In the book Bonzo is trying to manipulate Ender, so he can kill him. One specific thing Bonzo did was try and get Ender alone, but Ender and Dink knew about this. Dink even left Ender a warning note, before everything happened “Don’t be alone.

When Ender finds a bugger egg he looks for a home for it, so he can save the species. Graff and the people working against Ender tried to manipulate him by not telling him that he was actually killing buggers. What ended up happening in the book was Ender thought he had just killed all the buggers on the simulator, but he had actually wiped the whole species. They thought doing that would make all the buggers die, but it ended up making Ender feel like a killer. He felt so bad that when he found a bugger egg he devoted the rest of his life to find it a home, therefore saving the species. These two examples show that you should not manipulate people, because you might not always get the outcome you
