review 1: The theme of Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is that commitment and determination is required to make it as far as Ender did and be the great hero of his age! This particular book is a futuristic fantasy. It mostly takes place in deep space. If I would have to guess the year this book took place, I would say that it was based in the year of 3200’s. The protagonist of this book is Ender. He is six years old. The narrator of this book is the author. The positive to this is that you can get an over all perspective of what is happening around Ender. The downside to this is that we can not get into Ender’s head, and see what he thinks about all this. The plot to this story is very interesting. Six year old Ender Wiggin is a “Third”. The law only allows two children p... moreer parent but Ender’s parents had another child… Ender. He is taken into battle school because the government army thinks he has talent. He trains with many different armies… and then finally commands his own. He later graduates battle school and moves onto Command school where he studies to be a commander but then… there’s a plot twist. Read Ender’s game to find out the truth. I thought that Ender’s Game was a very good book. I really enjoyed it because Ender was such a great character. He always had a purpose of what he did. He was very humble, but when need be he could take charge easily. He IS determined to be the best and do what it takes to be a commander. His last trait is that he is a great fighter, but a better friend. He always stayed loyal to his friends which is very important. I think that the big picture in this book is that difficulties may come but you must oversee them, and proceed for the greater good. One example in this book is when Ender is transferred to salamander army. Their commander immediately dislikes him and tells ender to wait in the corner during the wars. Ender does not like this so during his free time Ender practices with the only girl in his army so he can learn. His army leader does not like this but ender says he can only control the way Ender does battles but not his free time. The leader, Bonzo is disgusted and slaps him and then trades him to a different army. I thought one of the strengths to this book was the description. The way the author described every location Ender was at the battle school was so in depth and you could really create a great mental picture of the scene. One of the flaws I think was that the author did not write from Ender’s point of view, because Ender’s point of view would allow the reader to get inside Ender’s head and really understand his situation. I would definitely recommend this to any of my friends or family.
review 2: Its 2080 here and there was alien who tries to attack the earth 50 years ago. And now they are grow children who are smart enough to defend the earth when the alien comes to earth again. Ender was one of them. Actually ender was top of them. So the defense general takes Ender to his office and trained him as a warrior who fights with their brains. And the alien was approaching but ender kill all of them but Ender know that alien wants to end the war so they came to talk but he killed all the aliens and he felt self-reproach. So he promises to alien that he will find a planet for alien. less
