How is the problem solved in the book Ender's Game?

By Ender destroying all the aliens on their homeworld and every where else. He thought it was a game.

The ultimate problem -- Ender's guilt in destroying the alien race -- was resolved at the end of the novel and in its sequel, Speaker for the Dead. In order for Ender to really know his enemies well enough to defeat them, he inevitably had to come to love them. For this reason, he understands the buggers' intentions better than anyone else on Earth and is left with immense guilt in for destroying them (despite the fact that he didn't realize it was real). He becomes the anonymous Speaker for the Dead and reveals the true nature of the buggers to humanity (ironically damning himself as "Ender the Xenocide" in the eyes of the human race), and he's given a chance to rebuild the alien race he thought he had wiped out entirely when he finds a last hive queen egg.

In Ender's Game what is the name of the planet the I.F. is located on?

Eros, but it is not a planet, it is an asteroid that the Buggers originally colonized on their way towards Earth for the First Invasison. However after the Second Invasion the I.F. took control of the asteroid and made it their headquarters. The reason for this choice as headquarters was because the buggers were very much like ants and so dug into the center of the asteroid when they temportarily colonized it, and so the HQ could be very secret and hidden in the the middle of an asteroid.

In Enders Game who is Alia?

Alai is Enders first friend at battle school. They become friends because it would be helpful to be friends with your enemys friends. he is also gay because kissed ender on the lips actually french kissed him in the the midst of the night

PFFT ok the guy who wrote this first entry has no idea what he is talking about. Alai is Ender's SECOND friend after Shen. He eventually becomes a commander of an army. NO he is not gay, and he did not "kiss ender on the lips actually french kissed him in the the midst of the night" he kissed him on the forehead, no, it doesnt mean hes gay, its just the tradition of the country he came from. Also, his name is ALAI not ALIA. nuff said.

No man ur wrong way wrong alai or what ever the duece his name is gay. who the hell kisses their man friend

After kissing Ender "on the cheek," Alai says "Salaam" to him which generally means "Peace be with you," in Arabic. This implies that Alai simply understands the difficulties that Ender is about to face in reference to leaving his launch squad, which he recently became comfortable in. The gesture is supposed to show the author's incorporation of cultural knowledge within his book. Basically, the action was nothing more than another way of saying "Fare thee well" and should not be confused as being a homosexual advance.

Also, at this point in the story, the two boys are 6 years old! I know the boys are mature for their ages, but romantic thoughts at 6 years old is a bit hard to choke down(lolz).

NO ! ya'll guy's is stupid ! The true answer ;

Ender and ' Alai ' become friends because in the

battle room Ender was pushing off of the wall , and

was trying to land near Alai ( Alai is Bernard's friend )

Alai helped Ender try not to hit Alai and grabbed Ender

so Ender wouldn't hit Alai .

P. s - None of that sht; is true , like that other person said !

it's just the way that Alai's tradition is . Hmm` try payin '

attention , underachievers * chuckleeee ` ' *

THEMES-

Friendship- The Gladers are all very close, and count on each other when things get tough. When Thomas joins the group, he is welcomed by most and makes strong friendships. Chuck in particular shows the true meaning of friendship. He is kind to Thomas from the moment Thomas entered the Glade, and a strong bond was made between them. Then, near the end of the book, Chuck sacrifices himself for Thomas, jumping in front of him and taking the knife. He dies out of love for his friend.

Persistence- After two whole years of living in the Glade, the Gladers have not given up. They continue to search the maze, determined that there is a way out. They have a great system set up with jobs for everyone, and they keep it going through all the difficulties. They never sit around doing nothing, waiting for something to happen.

Environment- In this novel, the world has been destroyed and is in horrible shape. The reader will learn the importance of keeping the world healthy and safe, to avoid such a disaster!

Bravery- The Gladers are all incredibly brave, having gone through many, many scary and strange things. By the end of the book, the Gladers who are left are all extremely courageous to make it so far, although many boys who did not make it to the end were equally as brave. Chuck, for example, demonstrated a heroic act by sacrificing himself for Thomas. All the boys who were killed in the battle with the Grievers were also very courageous to fight the evil creatures.

The Necessity of Structure in Society- From the beginning, the original Gladers immediately set up an organized, structured society, everyone assigned a job in order to get things done. This shows that even when humans are forced to start from scratch, our need for order is strong.

What is the plot of Ender's Shadow Chapter 1?

The book opens in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam, and a street urchin named Poke sees what she thinks is a two year old who is starving, but who hasn't given in to death. She can tell he is thinking, and trying to figure things out. She has a crew that she is trying to keep alive, and doesn't want him... says he isn't worth a bean.

The starving child has been observing the streets, trying to figure out why people are doing the things they are doing, and letting himself starve until he figures it out. He makes his move now, and comes up with an idea of how to keep her crew alive and safe without having to pay tributes of food to other starvelings that come along. She realizes that it might be a good idea, and actually give her crew a chance to survive long term, so she feeds him a few peanuts, and her crew decide he is worth one bean, which then becomes his name.

The bully, Achilles, takes over the group by getting to know them and sharing some food with them. The chapter ends there, with Bean worried about whether the new crew boss will kill him.
