In Ender's Game how does Ender show ingenuity originality and creativity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He shows those things with his approaches to problems. Instead of playing the battle game the same way everyone else does, for instance, he thinks of a new way to do it, and whenever the other people catch up with him and start doing the things his way, he switches it up and tries something new.

Specific examples:

--instead of orienting himself to the door that he came in, he oriented himself (because gravity wasn't an issue) differently towards the goal of the game.

--using frozen teammates as shields

--winning the game by exiting the room and not actually playing

"Enders Game" message is that in any war, there are two sides to the conflict. There are no guarantees that the motivations of a government are pure or evil, or if they really have the best interests of their citizens in mind. At the end of the novel, the main character, a military protege, feels the full impact of what he has done and must somehow find a way to forgive or excuse his actions.

In Ender's Game Who are Ender's true friends and who are his enemies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is a question that has held great importance in the book. Who is Ender's true friends? It's hard to say, one way of looking at it, he has no friends. The other children look up to him, follow his example. But who does Ender look up to and count on? Also you could say the teachers are the enemies, for they manipulate him. Later on it seems that Humanity is Ender's enemy. But that is only after the writing of the 'Hive Queen'. It is clear that Bean, Petra, Hot Soup, and Crazy Tom are close to Ender, but does that mean that they are his friends? I hope that my questions have given you the answer you were looking for.

What is the order of the Ender's Games book?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are three versions of the order of the series. The first one, by timeline:

Ender's Game

Ender's Shadow

A War of Gifts

Shadow of the Hegemon

Shadow Puppets

Shadow of the Giant

Ender in Exile

Speaker for the Dead

Xenocide

Children of the Mind

The second one, by release date (our library uses this one):

Ender's Game

Speaker for the Dead

Xenocide

Children of the Mind

Ender's Shadow

Shadow of the Hegemon

Shadow Puppets

Shadow of the Giant

A War of Gifts

Ender in Exile

The third one, as it appears on the list of "other books by Orson Scott Card" (I prefer to use this one):

Ender's Game

Ender's Shadow

Shadow of the Hegemon

Shadow Puppets

Shadow of the Giant

Speaker for the Dead

Xenocide

Children of the Mind

A War of Gifts

Ender in Exile

There are probably going to be more books, like the one being planned right now called Shadows in Flight, and there is also a book called The Authorized Ender Companion, but it is by a different author and is basically just side things, like an encyclopaedia of Ender subjects and movie news as of its publication date. Don't blame me if this answer goes out of date by the time you read it, because I'm not clairvoyant, I like to Google things about Ender. You should try it some time.

What happens on the way to battle school in Ender's Game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the shuttle, Ender gets praised by Major Anderson, at that point the other launchies don't like him. One launchy known as Bernard flicks Ender several times in the head, so Ender breaks his arm. An officer stops by Enders home the next morning and offers him an opportunity to go to battle school (which is in space.) the reason why Ender went to battle school is because he felt like he didnt have a place on earth to fit in.

What happens to Valentine in Ender's Game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She was left alone with Peter and had to learn how to cope with that. She did it by blackmailing him in some cases and going along with his schemes in other areas. She develops her brilliance as well, and learns a lot from Peter. Eventually, when Ender has beaten the Formics, she joins him to begin to travel together. In a later book, she marries and has children.

Who are the important characters of Enders's game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well three main characters are Ender (obviously) and his siblings, Peter and Val.

As for a fourth main character, it's my opinion that it's up for discussion. I'd probably say Bean myself. But while Bean is a large part of the latter half of Battle School, Alai is a pretty large part of the first half - so you could say Alai. And as a third possibility, you could say Col. Graff - he has a sort of overarching presence throughout the book.
