Decent Essays
The book that I am reading is called ENDER’S GAME from Orson Scott Card. This book is about an alien species attacking earth many years ago and the human race is trying to stop them from attacking again. There is something called battle camp where they recruit intelligent kids. They use them for training by controlling fleets of spaceships (in the game) and army into war to wipe out the aliens planet. There are different armies ranked on level of how many wins did they have in the arena. There were the Salamander army, the Rat army, the Dragon army and the ASP army. The Salamander army didn’t exist since Ender Wiggin the main character came. Ender, is a highly intelligent boy that the captain of battle camp decided for him to lead is own army

    Ender’s Game Adaptation Movie Review Gavin Hood’s Adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game is an adventurous thrill ride. Ender Wiggin played by Asa Butterfield, is a third that was not really appreciated for being the third child in his family, a third that ended up being a successful recruit for the Battle School, where Ender is being pushed to his breaking point with all of the lies they are feeding him.

This movie is a good adaptation to the book because it brings all of the action moments in the book to the screen.…

    Ender was an isolated, third born young man who was raised knowing he had to defeat the buggers. He was forced by his family and the government who told him he was born for one reason and one reason only, to defeat the buggers. At a young age, Ender was recruited into Battle School to learn how to fight the buggers and he did so well that he became the best commander and moved up to Command school to control the simulator. When he was fighting in the “simulated games”, he was actually fighting real buggers and was in real battles, but he didn’t find this out until every bugger was killed. The book was better than the movie because the book had more details and action while the movie left many details…

    After reading and watching the story of Ender Wiggin, it occurred to me that the book and the movie has its similarities and differences. Even though I personally thought the book was better (which it was), they both have their ups and downs. Here are the comparisons between these two tales of Ender’s Game. The filmmakers of Ender’s Game: The Movie made unnecessary additions to the original story more than needed, such as tranquilizing Ender after he killed the buggers, having Petra be at Ender’s side when he goes off to find the bugger egg, or when there’s an actual adult bugger queen when Ender finds the egg.…

    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.…

Card mentions how an outsider has a unique perspective than everyone else and that great heroic deeds are made by outsiders because of this unique perspective. While there is a notion that outsiders are not important, it is clear that outsiders are necessary in keeping a balanced society because they notice the conflicts insiders don’t and can initiate change.…
