Ender Series

Ender is intelligent, strategic, and determined. He demonstrates strong leadership skills and is able to think outside the box to overcome challenges. Despite his young age, he shows maturity and a sense of responsibility.

Petra Arkanian is about 12 years old in "Ender's Game".

The author's tone in "Ender's Shadow" is generally serious and intense, reflecting the weighty themes and the psychological depth of the characters. There is often a sense of urgency and tension in the narrative, mirroring the high-stakes nature of the story.

Over 1 million copies of Ender's Shadow have been sold worldwide since its publication.

"Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card is typically recommended for readers in middle school and above, usually around grades 6-8. The book deals with complex themes that may be better understood by older readers.

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.

The relationship between the children and adults in Ender's Game is often seen as strained and unhealthy. In my opinion, the children are more capable and trustworthy. On the other hand, the adults are reliant on others and are not to be trusted. An example of this is when the adults trick Ender into committing "xenocide" on the buggers, making him believe that it was a simulation.

In "Pastwatch," Orson Scott Card explores the consequences of human actions in the past and challenges readers to consider the impact of their choices on the future. The future time in the book is portrayed as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the importance of learning from history and taking responsibility for creating a better future. Card's view suggests that we have the power to shape our destiny by understanding and changing the past.

Bean, as mentioned in ENDER'S SHADOW, was about seven when he went into Dragon Army and fought in the Third Invasion. To check my answer, and also because it is a genuinely good book, read ENDER'S SHADOW.

Ender is approximately 12 years old when he returns to battle school in "Ender's Game" after being on Earth for some time.

You know it because you read it in the text. Even when he thinks he hears adults saying they love him, he dismisses it as manipulation. He has learned, as they meant, that he is alone, and he has to solve his own problems.

Ender from the book Ender's Game, is very different from other boys.

He is outstandingly smart, very mature, passionate, and is always one step ahead of other kids.

If you like Ender's game, I would recommend reading the series, they are a work of art!

Graff means that most girls in the space school have not passed the grueling tests because over evolution girls have created a reputation that makes them more feminine and weaker than boys. For example, on page 24 Graff says, "A few girls. They don't often pass the tests to get in."

Ender Wiggin was chosen to attend Battle School at the age of six.

The round character in "Ender's Game" is Ender Wiggin. He is complex and undergoes significant development throughout the story, showing both strengths and weaknesses, as well as grappling with moral dilemmas and inner conflicts.

Some songs that relate to themes in "Ender's Game" include "Hall of Fame" by The Script featuring will.i.am, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, "Warrior" by Demi Lovato, and "We Are the Champions" by Queen. These songs capture elements of perseverance, determination, and triumph, which are central themes in the book.

Ender and Alai become best friends in "Ender's Game" due to their shared experiences and mutual respect. Alai shows kindness and acceptance towards Ender, despite his initial isolation among the other recruits. The two bond through their mutual struggles and eventually develop a deep connection built on trust and understanding.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card contains some profanity and coarse language throughout the book. It may be best to refer to the specific sections of the book to determine where curse words appear.

Ender's parents let him go to be trained for the military because they believed he had the potential to save humanity from an alien threat. They also felt pressured by the government's strict birth restrictions and saw Ender as an opportunity for their family to gain prestige and influence.

Ender identifies with the children in the game by empathizing with their struggles and experiences. He understands the challenges they face and relates to their feelings of isolation and pressure to succeed. Ender's own experiences of being a child prodigy make him uniquely able to connect with the other children and lead them effectively.

The main conflict in tge begining of Enders game is his relationship with the other kids in battle school. He ends up gaining the respect and [SPOILER] kills the one who is terrorizing him. The real main problem of Ender beating the formics is resolved in the end when Ender uses Dr. Device ( The Little Doctor, the MD device, or it can even be called by Mechanical Disruption Device) to blow up the formic home world and destroy the whole species

The government is in charge. They can choose when to enforce their own laws, and when it is in the 'best interest of humanity' to bypass them.

I'm leaving the original answer.. and adding my own. I believe you are referring to the ending of the law at the end of Ender's Game. The answer is fairly straightforward: it was no longer needed. After the Third Bugger War, which later became known as the War of Xenocide, humanity had dozens of worlds available to settle, which alleviated the overpopulation worries (though, in reality, the reason was never about overpopulation, which comes out in one of the short stories in First Meetings

I highly recommend reading all of the books in this series. In order of publication, for the most part, they are:

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

Ender in Exile (this is set between Ender's Game and Speaker for the dead, but read it last)

There are also several short stories. Most of these are chronicled in First Meetings. They are mostly prequels to Ender's Game about his parents, though one is about his meeting with Jane. I recommend reading it after Ender in Exile. Also, a new novella (I think) in the Shadow chronology is out or coming out this year. There is also to be a new novel on the chart I saw called Shadow's Alive which appears to bring the two story lines back together, which should be interesting considering the 3000 years between them at that point. The other novels are all well worth reading.

I always thought it ironic that Ender became known as the Xenocide. The irony became that much grater after Card wrote Ender in Exile, which covered how that came to be, though I suspect it was inevitable in any case.

Ender isn't surprised because he has shown exceptional strategic and leadership skills throughout the book, demonstrating his readiness for the role of commander. He has consistently excelled at the Battle School, proving himself to be a remarkable and intuitive leader, so his promotion to commander is a logical and expected progression based on his abilities.
