...Compassion is what makes us human. It is a main theme in Ender’s Game and what separates Ender from his psychotic, power hungry brother Peter. Ender Wiggin’s purpose in life as determined by the controlling government is to become the ultimate military commander who will destroy the Buggers, an alien race that the humans have engaged in war with two times before. The movie Ender's Game excludes crucial details from the novel by Orson Scott Card making the book a more thrilling work of science fiction. The plot of Ender's Game keeps the reader interested with important details and subplots. One of the most crucial details in the book are the internet personas that Peter and Valentine take on to capture the eye of the world. “Demosthenes and Locke” write political articles from two different perspectives that are read worldwide by everyone from the Wiggin children’s father to the President of the United States. This angle is incredibly important to the story as Peter uses his global power gained through Locke to take over Earth at the end of the book. Just as important is the intentional isolation of Ender in Battle School by the controlling adults of the...

...A lot of people have seen the exciting movie Ender’s Game (2013), but have they read the book? Although, the movie is an awesome science fiction action film, the book is much better. The movie is easier to follow. The book has far more detail and captures your attention. The book talks more about Ender’s relationship with his family which helps you to understand him better. The movie has scenes that entertain using special effects which are exciting to watch. Both the book and the movie have their strengths and their weaknesses. If you really want to be a part of the story, you should read the book. The most compelling reason to read the book is that the book puts more detail and story into its characters. There are differences in the characters in the way they are represented in the movie and the book. In the book, Bean is small but in the movie Bean is a lot bigger. During one of their battles Bean uses one of the biggest kids as a shield to take out the enemy forces. It is hard to see this in the movie, but the book explains it very well. In the book, Bean spends most of his time hiding in the air vents. This is evidence that Bean must have been small. But, in the movie Bean is nearly the size of Ender. The book also describes how Ender was rather mean to Bean. Eventually, they became great friends. The movie shows them as friends from the start, but never really shows much of how Ender treated Bean or shows why. They just one day become friends. Another thing is...

...In her essay “Winning and Losing in Ender’s Game”, for Ender’s World, Hilari Bell expresses that Ender wasn’t successful because he was so great, but because of the friendships and alliances he made based purely on empathy: “True strength comes not from being the best- which Ender was- but from the alliances, teamwork, friendship… and the losers” (83).These friends are the squadron leaders who help him in defeating the buggers. They were the people he trusted, the out castes, but they came together, and in that time they began to know and understand each other. Ender was able to use his friends to battle and be victorious in each of the simulations. Mazar showed them a replay of the most recent battle, and Ender realized that they resembled...

...myth is one that is not easily defined and my definition of the term has changed over the length of the semester. In our first essay I defined myth as “a story or narrative that attempts to explain something in a certain culture.” Looking back now I can see that I had a pretty good base for the definition but after learning so much about myths around the world I find it even harder to define myth now than before. It seems that the more I learn about myths, the more complicated they get. I believe that to define myth you must first understand what myth is. Myths are used for a variety of reasons such as explaining natural phenomena, explaining human creation, giving reasons for the appearance of plants and animals, as well as special events in a culture. A lot of myths in different cultures try to explain the inexplicable, such as why the sun appears to move across the sky every day or what causes lightning. I would define myth as a story, either written or narrated, passed down from those of previous generations to explain natural events, supernatural events, or special events in their culture to help them feel more comfortable about the world in which they live in and gives them a sense of belonging. We have seen this time and time again in our readings and movies from class in everything from The Whale Rider, to Gilgamesh, to Ender’s Game. I believe that my perception of myth has slowly evolved throughout the semester because I now understand more about why cultures...
