Ender Series

Kurt Vonnegut's 'Harrison Bergeron' illuminates that progress is propelled by fear. The government's desire to exert and maintain absolute power over its citizens and 'restrict their freedoms' has led it to brainwash its citizens through advanced technology. Advanced technology seen through the "mental-handicap radio" and restrictions on the people like 'heavy weights and face masks' to maintain this power over the people. "The transmitter in the mental handicap radio would send out a sharp noise to keep the more intelligent people from taking advantage of their brains." In this quote irony is used as the more gifted and intelligent people of society are no longer gifted in their intelligence, as it now acts as a 'hindrance', rather than a benefit. The irony is that if you are gifted, then you are disadvantaged through a government that controls your intelligence. This concept of fear of freedom by the government has obviously lead them to disadvantaging the physically and mentally gifted to eliminate any threat to stop their power exertion over the people.

Progress is also propelled by fear, as the people in the society have a great fear of retribution for disobeying the fascist and controlling government laws. The progress seen through this fear is of obedience to the fascist laws. "Two years in prison and two thousand dollars fine for every lead ball I take out of this weight canvas bag. Is that really a good bargain?" In this quote, a rhetorical question is used to dramatise the ironic nature of the quote, because obviously the severe punishment that is described for removing the 'weight canvas handicap' is obviously not a good bargain. This fear of retribution by the people promotes this government manipulation and absolute power.

Progress is also propelled by fear, as the government's fear of the people having equality has made it set up 'laws' to essentially achieve 'equality' but by a tyrannical way. "Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else." In this quote triplication of the anaphora language technique is used to reinforce the ideas of supposed equality that is represented. This also helps to exaggerate how supposedly 'equal' the society really was. The language in this quote acts as very persuasive with the repetition of the 'Nobody' to ensure that the meaning of equality was understood. This notion of fear of 'true equality' by the people is seen very easily through the way that everybody in society has been 'made equal', but in the process has used propaganda and manipulation to achieve it. This fear of 'true equality' has ended up having progress through creating oppression on the people.

In "Ender's Game," the exposition introduces the character of Ender Wiggin, a young boy recruited into a space-based military academy to train as a future commander. It also sets the backdrop of an Earth recovering from two previous invasions by an alien species known as the Formics.

Mazer was dishonest to Ender in order to push him to his limits and bring out his full potential. He believed that Ender needed to be tested in an extreme way to prepare him for the challenges he would face. It's possible that Ender could have handled the truth, but Mazer felt that deception was a necessary part of the training process.

the conflict in Ender's game is to defeat the aliens"Buggers",who are more intelligent than the human.. Buggers are threats to the human kind .they are faster in making decisions. They are defeated twice and are now more dangerous.

Ender faces internal crises concerning his own morality and sense of self. He struggles with his aggressive tendencies and the fear that he may become like his ruthless brother, Peter. Ender responds by trying to understand and control these aspects of himself, ultimately aiming to use his power and intelligence for good, rather than succumb to the darker side of his nature.

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

1. "The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination." - Ender Wiggin
2. "To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true." - Ender Wiggin
3. "Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth." - Ender Wiggin

It is told from the third person omniscient point of view. Therefore the narrator is unreliable and subjective.

Rose is intimidated by Ender's confidence and ability to stand up for himself. He senses that Ender is not an easy target for bullying and that confronting him might lead to consequences. Additionally, Rose likely understands that Ender's reputation and skills could make him a formidable adversary if provoked.

It's because Ender masters the game. He was the best commander they ever had and because of him it is eventually destroyed. Also while he is battling the buggers he believes he is playing a simulation game. The whole thing, to him, is merely a game and not until the end does he understand that he was killing actual creatures.

The characters in "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card may not be completely realistic in terms of their abilities and circumstances, as the story is set in a future world with advanced technology and complex political dynamics. However, the characters are well-developed and their struggles with morality, leadership, and personal growth make them relatable and engaging for readers.

Petra Arkanian is considered the wrong kind of friend to have in "Ender's Game" because she cares too much for Ender and challenges his isolation and detachment, which goes against the military's goal to isolate him and mold him into a ruthless commander. Her friendship distracts Ender from his training and causes him to question his identity and purpose in the program. Ultimately, Petra's influence threatens Ender's ability to fulfill his role in the military's plan.

In Chapter 9 of Ender's Game, Peter and Valentine collaborate on an online pseudonym called Locke and Demosthenes respectively. They use their alter egos to influence public opinion and politics through writing and online discussions. They each have their own viewpoints and goals, which they try to achieve by manipulating the online community.

Petra teaches Ender how to shoot better by focusing on his opponent's body language and movements. She helps him understand the importance of anticipating his opponent's actions and reacting quickly to gain the upper hand in battle. This skill proves invaluable during Ender's training in the Battle School.

The adults lie to Ender in order to manipulate and control him, believing it is necessary to achieve their goal of stopping the alien threat. They do not see him as a child but as a weapon to be molded and used for the greater good, neglecting the emotional impact it may have on him.

He's promoted because he's an amazing soldier and commander. It's surprising because he's so underage.

More specificly he is premoted at such an advanced rate because humanity is in need of the comander who will defeat the buggers.

In Chapter 7 of "Ender's Game," Ender meets Bean, a small but intelligent and cunning boy who stands out among the other recruits. Bean becomes a significant character in Ender's story and plays a crucial role in Ender's training and development.

In "Ender's Game," Peter admires his brother Ender's intelligence and strategic abilities. However, Peter also harbors jealousy and resentment towards Ender due to feeling overshadowed by him. Overall, while Peter may respect Ender's skills, his feelings towards him are complex and fraught with competition and manipulation.

Ender lacks faith in adults because they have repeatedly manipulated and betrayed him, forcing him to rely on himself. His negative feelings stem from these experiences of being used and deceived by the adults in his life, leading him to be cautious and distrustful of their intentions.

Adults are seen as the real enemies in "Ender's Game" because they manipulate and deceive children like Ender for their own strategic purposes in war. They push Ender to his limits without regard for his well-being, using him as a pawn in their games of power and control. This betrayal by adults leaves Ender feeling isolated and mistrustful of authority figures.

The antagonizing speaker argues that accepting Ender into the academy is risky due to his young age and lack of experience, which may affect his ability to handle the challenges and responsibilities of being a future leader in the military. They believe that Ender's unconventional methods and tendency to act independently could pose a threat to the existing hierarchy and disrupt the established order within the academy.
