Reflective Essay On Ender's Game

If there has been one thing that the book Ender’s Game has told me is this. Ender has made me a better reader by showing me my likes in science fiction, tactical decisions, and overall how to be a leader and the benefits of being one. This has always been a part of me but this book and character has truly spoken to me in a way no other has done before.

Ender is a character who thinks out every action he does, every word he speaks, and every peer he makes friends with. He always enjoys and prefers to be the leader of a group, and values education as a tool, not as some useless junk. He always looks from a very tactical point of view and always looks for improvement.

He uses a lot of format, strategy and army lingo. Whenever he is playing a game he is always very precise about every move he takes, always looks for the weak spot, and always does what's best for the team, even if that involves self-sacrifice.
When I play games I generally play the games with more strategy to them and less of the games that are luck orientated. I generally outsmart the opponent and find strategic moves. I also, like Ender, have always been the type of person to lead, a group needs a leader and I am the person to go to. We both like order and we know what's best for the team. Even if what's best for the team involves self-sacrifice it is a sacrifice worth going through. This can explain why I play more of the support type people. We also both value education, and both value it as a tool and a weakness for the enemy. We also carefully choose who we make friends with, not to say that my friends are only my friend because they prove some tactical advantage but more that they will help me in times of need, and shape me into the person who I truly am and can relate
