“It’s not what you have, it’s what you don’t have that counts.” (Raskin, p. 43 ) Mysteries go out of their way to try and confuse the reader. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is no exception. In the past two months, GLMS sixth graders have tried to solve the murder of Sam Westing. After reading the novel, students then watched the movie version. The movie really used the “don’t have” portion of the opening quote by eliminating many details. The Westing Game book and movie contain many similiarities and differences that are worth exploring.

What could be better than a six year old boy killing two people, going to battle school, becoming a commander and killing an entire species? And he did all that by the time he was 13 years old. There’s a little bit of a difference between the book Enders game and the movie Ender Game. In the book Ender Wiggins was 6 years old and by the end he was 13 but in the movie he stayed 16 the whole time.

The first difference off the bat was Ender himself. In the book he was only 6, while the movie shows him as a 13 year old. His personality was also different. The book said Ender was only violent when he was hurt and provoked, but the movie shows us that he was always violent for no reason.

One of the first and biggest differences is the name of the aliens. In the book, the aliens that they are fighting are called buggers. However, in the movie they are called formics. The second big difference is the fight with Stilson. In the book, Ender fought Stilson outside their school by the buses, and Stilson ended up dying. The movie differs because Ender fights with Stilson

Ender’s Game is centred around the theme manipulation as it discussed about both positive and negative effects manipulation can cause on people.

Being a regular high school student, I shocked myself because the fact that I actually decided to read a book at home from class without being forced.I could ultimately feel Ender’s emotions upon killing or hurting someone he did not want to hurt but he had to protect himself. Ender Wiggin was an intelligent child that was selected into the IF with the possibility of being the new commander of the third invasion of the buggers. Ender went through vigorous training and battles with other students at IF to earn his rank. He did not have the same path as the other students as the adults of the school wanted a lot out of Ender. I believe that the book was better than the movie because all though the movie could show emotion through a screen I still

There were many differences between the book and the movie. The characters in the movie were very different from what I had imagined them to be. For example, in the book, Benjamin’s last name was different from that in the movie. In the movie the love story between Ben and Irene was were powerful watching, Reading it didn’t have the same effect as visually seeing it. In the movie, the scene where Irene tries to get Gomez to confess to the murder of Lilliana (she pushes him to the extreme) this was not in the book.

Movie adaptations are more frequent than ever before in today’s society. Sometimes, they are held in a higher respect than movies not based on books, especially by those who love books. When a movie adaptation is watched by someone who read the book, the reader has major and specific plot points in mind that need focus, and when those points are not hit, there seems to be an uproar among the community. With Ender’s Game, there were mixed reviews. Many disliked how some of the magic seen in the book was lost in translation. Some didn’t seem to like how characters were presented or how certain things were brought up with no detail, or not brought up at all. In the movie adaptation of Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card’s original idea of Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a child genius, becoming a commander of an army in efforts to save the world remains, but with Card’s intense adventure and genius depth nearly obliterated from the motion picture, the movie underwhelms with its inabilities to portray the interesting science fiction story in whole.
