Ender Series

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.

Ender shows humor through his witty remarks, clever retorts, and playful teasing of those around him. He uses sarcasm and irony to lighten tense situations and bring levity to his interactions with others. His sense of humor often serves as a coping mechanism in the face of the challenges he faces.

Ender acknowledges his resemblance to Peter in the "Ender's Game" to come to terms with his own actions and decisions. By admitting this similarity, Ender faces the darker aspects of his personality, confronts his fears, and recognizes that he is capable of both good and bad deeds like his brother. This realization allows Ender to better understand himself and strive for balance in his identity.

The scene where Ender beats up Stilson is found in Chapter 2 of "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. This event takes place early in the book during Ender's first day at Battle School.

"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card won the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel in 1986. It has also received various other literary awards and nominations in the science fiction genre.

The name is different, the strategies they use are different, the people in the army are different, toon leaders and commanders are different, and much more is different between Salamander and Rats army.

Yes, the fantasy game recognized that he has beaten the giant and that is why he moves past the giant in the game.

"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.

Mick tells Ender that being "extra-terrestrial" will help him succeed at the academy, emphasizing the importance of being different and standing out from others. Mick believes that Ender's unique perspective and abilities will give him an advantage in the competitive environment of the academy.

Yes, there are some onomatopoeic words used in Ender's Game, such as "thud" and "whack." These words help create vivid and realistic sound effects in the novel.

Some reasons students may stop attending extracurricular practices include lack of interest, competing priorities, scheduling conflicts, or feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. It's important to communicate with the students to understand their reasons for not attending and provide support or make adjustments if possible.

The conflict between the Big Enders and Little Enders is a satirical representation of ideological divides, originating from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." The Big Enders believe that eggs should be broken at the larger end, while the Little Enders insist on the smaller end. This absurd dispute symbolizes the triviality of certain political and religious conflicts in society, highlighting how deeply held beliefs can lead to significant divisions among people. Ultimately, it critiques human nature's tendency to create conflict over seemingly insignificant differences.

Orson Scott Card did not set a year for Ender's Game. Although a date was mentioned once. Ender is on earth after battle school, where he sees Valentine again. It mentioned that the house he was at had no computers execpt for the 100 year old relics used to control the lighting and security.

Ender Wiggin is called the "Speaker for the Dead" because he takes on the role of telling the true stories of the deceased, honoring their lives and experiences. This title reflects his commitment to understanding others deeply and conveying their truths without judgment. In the novel "Speaker for the Dead," he seeks to bridge cultural divides and foster empathy, making him a powerful figure in the exploration of morality and understanding in a complex universe.
