No book or movie is ever alike. This is shown in the book “Enders Game” by Orson Scott Card and the Enders Game movie by Gaven Hood, where the book and movie had many similarities but as well had many differences. In the novel Ender is portrayed as a very different kid after he gets to battle school; however this is not shown in the movie. Another difference would be how Lock and Demosthenes were not mentioned at all in the movie, yet had a huge role in the book, and the final would be the endings for both the movie and book as well as Enders reaction to what’s going on in the end. These three reasons show how the movie is very different from the book. When comparing Ender in both the novel and movie he was shown as a very different character

Who are Lock and Demosthenes? They are basically two secret identities Peter and Valentine made up for Peters plan to take over the world. “So I’ve got a sick sense of humour. I’m sorry. You know I was teasing. I need your help... You’re just what the world needs. A twelve-year-old to solve all our problems” (Card 166). This quote shows the discussion Valentine and Peter are having about planning to take over the world. Peter thinks this is the perfect time to attempt to do so because the world is at a vulnerable state since they are all focused on the buggers, and the fear of them invading earth again. This was an extremely important part of the book Lock and Demosthenes it even had an entire chapter devoted to it. One reason why it is really important is because it changes the outcome in the end of the book opposed to the movie. In the movie the story of Lock and Demosthenes and how they are trying to take over the world was just dropped, like the entire idea of it wasn’t even mentioned in the movie at all. This was another point that showed how the novel and the movie …show more content…
The first example is what happens after Ender defeats the buggers. “So they boarded a starship and went from world to world. Wherever they stopped, he was always Andrew Wiggen, itinerant speaker for the dead, and she was always valentine, historian errant, writing down stories of the living while Ender spoke the stories of the dead. And always Ender carried with him the dry white cocoon, looking for the world where the hive-queen could awaken and thrive in peace. He looked a long time” (Card 368). This really long quote basically describes the entire ending of the book. After Ender wiped out the entire bugger race he was very upset at what he just did because he was feeling guilty that he had no authority to kill the peaceful buggers, this also ties in with Enders emotional changes through the novel. But anyways since he felt guilty he went searching in a cave where it was told that the queen bugger lived as he entered the cave he saw one last bugger which survived the attack and Ender being the person who can communicate to the buggers spoke to it and Ender promised that bugger that he would take the little white cocoon and colonize the bugger race on a far away world without anyone knowing. But at the same time Peter was terrorizing the world back on earth and the most important person in the world to Ender was his sister Valentine so
