In the book Ender's Game, the main character Ender, develops many characteristics, also known as character development. These characteristics are revealed by events in the story, or actions. The main events that are listed are to prove when Ender develops a new characteristic. Ender gets a monitor taken out, decides to go to Battle school, kills 2 students, becomes an army leader, and communicates with the queen bugger.

Ender's journey from humble beginnings to becoming a renowned military leader mirrors the stages of the hero's journey, such as the call to adventure, the mentor figure, and the final battle. Ender's growth and transformation as a character are evident as he faces various challenges and learns important lessons about power, responsibility, and sacrifice.

I know you can't believe that these young boys are out of school to be in a battle? Be careful who you mess with because they can attack you right back the theme of Ender's Game is internal struggles are not always apparent therefore it's important not to judge one another because it can be hurtful, one may Outcast others and one may be proven wrong. Throughout Ender's Game, Ender is getting judged and it can be very hurtful and hard for him for example as can be found in the text it says that quote quote well no one wants a third anymore you can expect them to be glad. (card 22). This shows and draws attention to children because families are judged based on how many kids they have and how they act anybody can judge you or your child.

Hardrod Kushner, a popular author and American rabbi, once said, “ I think of life as a good book the further you get into it the more it begins to make sense.” Over the course of a book, through character development and finding the author’s message, the reader begins to understand the values that are present in the book. Different books, such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Romeo and Juliet, and Fahrenheit 451, all have values that can be found in other books, like Ender’s Game. An examination of Ender’s Game, in comparison to other young adult novels, shows the values of courage, empathy, forgiveness, and community through the character development and the messages the authors want to convey to their readers.

The settings, conflicts, and characters of the respective texts share many similarities and differences. To start, both texts are supposed to take place in a faraway dystopian future. Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" takes place in the year 2081, and though there's no clear time period in which Orson Scot Card’s book Ender's Game takes place, it is strongly implied that it takes place in a dystopian future, as Ender is recruited by the international military to prevent a planet-wide invasion by extraterrestrials, and was previously obligated prior to being recruited to wear an implant which allows the officials to see and hear every minutia of his life (a procedure which is clearly highly invasive into Ender and his family's privacy, yet

It may have appeared that Ender had changed on his outward appearance, but he always had his compassion and soul intact. He did not change despite the fact that he was in an environment where everything was being done to change him in order to result in the best possible commander. Even after he had defeated the buggers his compassion remained as he is dedicated to finding a new planet for their race to flourish. Throughout this novel I think that Orson Scott Card did a phenomenal job of conveying this as one of his inspiring messages: stand by what you think is right, stay strong and don’t let anything or anyone change you. Ender proved that to us, as the world tried to manipulate him, he remained true to

THEME: The line between good and evil is sometimes unclear, and as a result, people often think that they are doing the right thing when it is actually the wrong action, and vice versa.

The story of Ender’s Game acts as a foundational element in describing how empathy can lead to a true and more real understanding of alterity.

In both books, war is used as propaganda to control society, and it is also an idea that is to be supported no matter what.

“You won’t fail, Ender. Not this early in the course. You’ve had some tight ones, but you’ve always won. You don’t know what your limits are yet, but if you’ve reached them already you’re a good deal feebler than I thought.” (Card 286). Ender’s Game is a dystopian novel by Orson Scott Card that follows the training and thoughts of the protagonist, Ender, ultimately ending with the destruction of an alien race, the buggers. Ender’s militaristic and desperate society forces him to unwillingly commit genocide to an extent where Ender’s withering and empathetic mind begins to question the consequences of his actions.
