Card game

After attending class and participating in the discussion on multilingualism and multiculturalism, I am more aware of the difficulties multilingual and multicultural students face. The Five Tricks card game we played in class really opened my eyes to what these students experience. During the card game, I became frustrated and agitated with those around me because I thought they did not learn to play the game correctly. It was important for me to play by the rules, because my family and I get into card games at home, and we take them very seriously. I found myself frustrated because I could not correct my peers when they made a mistake. I was also agitated because I believed they did not pay attention to the rules in order to learn the…

What would happen if an alien species attacked Earth 50 years ago, and we managed to fight them off temporarily? The book “Ender’s Game,” by Orson Scott Card, describes exactly that. The story is about a boy named Ender in those times, and one of the most significant decisions that he makes throughout the book is agreeing to train in battle school because he would protect Valentine, get away from Peter, and he was literally born for it. The book starts out when Ender is 6 years old, and he…

Like a little girl mimicking her mother at the vanity table, the movie adaptation of Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card, resembled its predecessor but paid minimal homage to the beloved novel, despite its fancy dresses woven with exquisite graphics and its faint perfumes of action and intensity. By focusing on the general events at Battle School and Command School, the film left out the specific details of Ender’s training experience. Although the movie included essential scenes from the…

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…

The Card Game One evening, on a cold rainy night. I sat at my grandparents kitchen table. I stared into my grandpa’s glossy green eyes as I knew I was about to win this game of crazy 8’s. All of the sudden he dropped his cards on the table, stood up, and started to walk around. I called out to him asking where he was going, he did not answer. I started to follow him, when he abruptly stopped at the front door of his newly built house. I glanced at him and noticed he was just staring off into…
