Ender is a smart and ingenious child who is marked by society as different, abnormal, and the odd one out. Ender is what they call a third. A third is a third child of the family, in a society where there can only be two. Ender's parents also favor their first child, Peter, who mocks and harasses Ender. It does not help when a mind reader the government installed into every child was removed very late, prompting more harassment

Ender is forced into things beyond his control. A bully who mocked him every day of every year was suddenly badly injured by an impulse of Ender's. Some people watching over his memory device all along think it is time to enroll him in a space battle command school far far away from the only person he appreciates in his life, his sister Valentine.

As fun as it seems, it is no fun. Kids get injured all the time, rivalries sprout up, and none of the teachers puts an end to any of this. The commanders want him to be the commander of the whole Space fleet, and with all the emotional pain from being away from Valentine, all the stress from all his rivalries, what can Ender make of his life?

The book Ender's Game is not just some sci-fi, but it portrays some things that we all face, and some things that we could face. It describes a boy, Ender, who every single being on earth could relate to (even animals). The more that I think about it the more I appreciate the author's work.

Ender is what they call a third. A third is a third child of the family, in a society where there can only be two. Ender's parents also favor their first child, Peter, who mocks and harrasses Ender. It does not help when a mind reader thay is installed into every child was removed very late, prompting more harrassments.

He is constantly ridiculed, mocked, harassed, but nobody except some high executives knew how powerful he was to become, and in such an emotional way that the dark would consume him more than the light.

One first instance is when a minor character (Stiltson) angers our main character Ender, and Ender pushes back with a fight (Page 25). Stilson says ""Hey, Third, hey, turd, you flunked out, huh? Thought you were better than us, but you lost your little birdie, Thirdie, got a bandaid on your neck." and Ender fought back like this " Ender kicked out high and hard, catching Stilson square in the breastbone. He dropped. It took Ender by surprise he hadn't thought to put Stilson on the ground with one kick. It didn't occur to him that Stilson didn't take a fight like this seriously, that he wasn't prepared for a truly desperate blow. For a moment, the others backed away and Stilson lay motionless. They were all wondering if he was dead." This makes us consider all the times when ethics come into play. An ethical decision may find the reader wondering if it was ethical for Ender to fight back, even though Stiltson angered him. In addition to that, it may have us wondering if Ender should have handled the situation differently. We can relate to my topic because my theme statement is that ethics play in actions and thoughts and these 2 questions are ethical thoughts. These thoughts are all a question of ethics proving an instance of my theme statement.

Another instance is from officer-officer talking about what they would do to Ender when he got into commander school (page 28): ""I went back through some of the tapes. I can't help it. I like the kid. I think we're going to screw him up." "Of course we are. It's our job. We're the wicked witch. We promise gingerbread, but we eat the little bastards alive.""

When we ask is is it ethical to eat up Ender even though we will make him a commander, and also if they should take a more lenient approach my theme statement plays here because when the commander said "I went back through some of the tapes. I can't help it. I like the kid. I think we're going to screw him up." This question is asked indirectly as an ethical question because he was questioning if it was ethical to "screw him up". This proves yet another instance of my theme statement.

Ethics play here also when it is brother-Ender (on page 31). Ender's brother (Peter) "He lifted his foot, took a step, and then knelt on Ender, his knee pressing into Ender's belly just below the breastbone. He put more and more of his weight on Ender. It became hard to breathe." After this instance his brother apologizes here "He whispered, "Ender, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know how it feels. I'm sorry, I'm your brother. I love you.""

Ethics played here when his brother thought it was ethical to apologize when he constantly harassed Ender and even made a hidden death threat afterward ( omitted from evidence). This connects to my theme statement because my theme statement states that ethics can play in actions and thoughts: Ender's brother apologizing is an instance for this. This proves my final stated instance of my theme statement.

As stated before, all of this relates to my theme statement that ethics plays in everyone's actions and thoughts. Like when Ender's brother Peter apologizes, it shows that Ethics is in everyone. When the discussion is commander-commander it shows that ethics can play in major actions. When Ender fought against Stilson it was a question of ethical actions. This shows the theme in the book ethics are in everyone's actions and the character learns more about this the more the book goes along.

Challenges & Complications

This part is how Ender unwillingly committed mass-murder. The leaders at the international fleet tricked Ender into a training exercise that actually was hooked up to real pilots & efficiently eliminated a new race of species that were intelligent. As it says in the book "You won every battle, and today you finally fought them at their home world, where the queen was, all the queens from all their colonies, they all were there & you destroyed them completely." This evidence shows that they killed off all the "bugger" population & killed off the leaders which are known as the queens. As it says "you destroyed them completely" all of this supports my caim that Ender unwillingly commited mass murder.

Overall, this sci-fi and emotional story is a good read for people who want an adventurous book that makes the reader feel like they are in the book. There are true struggles that this book portrays and you will find something in this book that you can relate to. The book also ends on another emotional struggle and it will make readers think of their own conclusions to the book. Ender's Game will show you the struggles we all face, and struggles we might face in the futuristic world that edges closer as the moments pass by.
