Comparing The Hunger Games, Ender's Game, And Star Wars

The first important event of Ender’s Game is when Ender gets his monitor removed and Peter gets introduced into the story when he starts to play “Buggers vs aliens” and his personality is shown and when Ender goes to school, Stilson gets into a fight with Ender. These 2 events are important because they show how Ender’s protection from harm is removed. This also is a way to show how Ender’s adventure begins. The second group of important events that happen in Ender’s Game is all of the battles in the battle room in the Battle School that Ender goes through, Petra training Ender, and Alai being introduced into the story. They are important because they show how Ender develops his battle strategies from trial and error against the other teams of the battle school and Alai shows how Ender’s isolation physically ends. The battles in the battle room also show the reasons that Ender is able to graduate so quickly. The third group of important information to the story is when Ender becomes the commander of Dragon

In the book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, it starts with ender in school and being made fun of. After he beats up a bully, he goes home to deal with his brother Peter who also bullies him because Ender is a better specimen than Peter was. But what no one expected was that a representative from the military came to invite Ender to Battle School up in space. Ender accepted and went to live up in Battle School for years to come. At first, Ender was hated for being such a talented student at the age of six but was soon respected after he was able to beat all the other armies with just a bunch of little kids. Ender became the best soldier at Battle School and was moved up to Command School where he would learn to command

In Ender's game a boy named Ender Wiggin is sent to battle school at a very young age to learn how to become a commander in the military. Throughout the entire book the government seems to control everything. This reflects Orson Scott Card's communistic political views. The government controls how many kids’ families can have, and the government begins conditioning children to become military leaders at a very young age. Another underlying theme in this book is the idea of perfection.

Violence may not seem like a good reason for the Hunger Games book being better than the movie, but in reality, it is. The Hunger Games movie is violent but not to the same extent as the book. The movie’s violent scenes were watered down and are less gruesome and bloody than the scenes in the book. Especially, this is the case in the last scene of the story where Katniss shoots Cato, the last tribute left in the games, and he falls into a pack of mutant dogs. In the movie the exact same thing happened, Katniss shot Cato the last tribute left, but instead, the movie producers made his death happen immediately after he fell into a pack of mutant dogs. In the novel, Cato’s suffering lasted a few hours and Katniss and Peeta had to wait anxiously

On the other hand, in the film Ender remains a young teenager the whole movie. This could be most likely due to the fact that the creators of the film didn’t want to have to cast three different aged actors that looked very similar enough to be the same person. Also, this change made Ender’s time at the Battle School seem like it took weeks rather than years which would help move along the flow of the movie and make it so the plot didn't seem to drag on as we watched a six year old develop into a young adult. Even though this change might have positively affected to overall flow of the storyline in the movie it feels like an uneven tradeoff when considering we lose the greater insight to the development of Ender over the years he spends at Battle School. For example, in the movie Ender has a very big problem with authority figures but he is a young teenager and that is socially expected of him to act out towards adults. In the book when Ender talks back to the adults it is as a six to eight year old which is a much more powerful image with a much more antithetical meaning. An eight year old Ender would feel as if he was the underclass and this would explain his subversive tendencies towards the adults who were in charge at the Battle School. Since Ender is older in the movie the back talk and anti-superior mindset he establishes has much less shock value when watching it on screen. On screen Ender’s

1- As humans, we have certain morals that guides our lives. Our parents and society that surrounds us guides us to believe in rules and proper actions but in Ender's Game, these moral codes of our idea of humanity are challenged and questioned. Card's use of a utopian world in his science fiction novel sometimes do not obey the concepts that individuals today in the United States are raised to stay true to. This can be seen in the novel as Ender is a Third and is not as welcome in his family as Peter and Valentine by society and putting others down to feel better about themselves. In addition, Ender was placed within his family by the government in order to grow with a family, but when old enough, train and become a military genius for all of Earth's wars.

Ender's Game Essay Have you ever read a book and the movie was better? In this essay, I will review what happened in the book Ender’s Game. In Ender's Game, Ender was offered to go with them into space because he was good at everything, and said yes. Later on in the movie, he got his army to control. They won a war thinking it was a videogame

A huge part of the theme of Ender's Game is saying that life is just a game. This is proved by the concept that Ender has to succeed through different 'levels' of life in order to achieve what the battle school has set out for him-killing the buggers. This is proved by the quote,”-Because most boys in this school think the game is important for itself, but it isn't. Its only important, because it helps them find kids who might grow up to be real commanders.” This is the real point of the book in which Ender fully realizes that The Battle School is really just a game. The symbols of this main idea is the armies, friends, enemies, and leaders that Ender comes in contact with in the Battle School. All of the friends, enemies, armies, and leaders that Ender meet are all part of Ender

Ender’s game by Orson Scott Card is a science fiction novel that takes place in the future and involves a kid named Ender, the protagonist of the story. He is sent to battle school to defeat the buggers (the enemies) with many other kids who are put through lots of challenges. The government has picked Ender who is 6 years old and is a third child, his older siblings were not selected by the government because his sister, Valentine, is too kind and compassionate while his older brother,Peter, is ruthless and hot-tempered. Ender is both a monster and a hero because he’s half Peter and half Valentine.

In the novel Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, the main character Ender is put up against one of the toughest challenges on his life. He becomes aware of his challenge when he becomes a little older, yet before that, little did he know that he will have to save the world. Ender in Enders Game is portrayed as a natural leader and fighter who is a killer at heart and can use his understanding of the enemy and natural skill to kill to destroy them. However, once he understands his enemy, he also feels compassion for his enemy. And because of this compassion, he hates himself for destroying his enemy. At the beginning of the story, Ender lives with one mean older sibling named Peter who always bullies him. He also lives with a

The first major event in Ender’s Game is Ender’s decision to go to Battle School. Ender is a virtual pariah at home, bullied by other boys, and in danger from his cruel brother. He leaves his family partly because he wants to be safe, keep Valentine safe, and fulfill his role as a “Third” child in society. Ender’s decision to leave home is a big step toward maturity for him. One important theme in the story is Consequentialism, or the end justifies the means. This is shown in Ender’s fight with Stilson. According to the adults, it’s acceptable for Ender to kill Stilson as long as he has a well enough explanation and good intentions. This also occurs when Enders wipes out the whole Bugger species. Everyone thought his actions were justified because he saved the human race. Another important event in Ender’s story is the games he plays and how it impacts his life. The first game he plays in the story is buggers and astronauts, where he realizes how savage Peter can be to him at times. At battle school Ender plays in the battle room and also plays the mind games. These games show the raw talent Ender possesses and the aggressiveness he shows. As Ender continued to play more games, he feared he was turning into a monster like Peter. The final game Ender plays is the simulation where he finds out that it was a real attack. All of the elements are crucial in Ender’s Game because it changes Ender’s life in some

The Hunger Games, Wrinkle in Time, and Star Wars are alike and different in the call to adventure, refusal, and approach.

I am currently reading the book Ender's game by, Orson Scott Card. I am really enjoying this book. This book is exiting, full of action, and does not get boring. This book has a movie, and I have seen it, so I can relate to the movie as I am reading the book. I really like being able to relate to the movie as I am reading because if I get confused I can just think back to what happened in the movie. I have noticed that the main character, Ender and his brother Peter do not get along very well. I inferred this statement based on the statement, “ I could kill you like this, Peter whispered. Just press and press until you're dead.” (card12) I am not sure why Ender's brother Peter treats him like an outsider, but his sister has

Have you ever had where people don’t want you to be yourself or life just doesn’t seem to be going the right way for you? Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Kara Westfall from The Thickety by J.A.White both seem to run into 8`this problem without end. They are struggling to stay themselves while saving others who don’t think they need saving. After losing people they care for, them not caring or just not alive and well. After tragedy they seem to find a sense of justice and throw themselves into danger for those who might fall to the same cause of their family of friends. No matter what people say, they are determined to be themselves, no matter what happens.

Humanity is one of the many virtues we as humans believe we are born with. However, living in a world much like the one described in both The Hunger Games and The Road novels, some may argue that turning off one’s humanity is a necessity. Nevertheless, both novels prove that while some characters had to turn off their humanity in a horrific world like The Hunger Games and The Road, the two main characters of each book demonstrated how a barbaric world could not take that virtue from them.
