    Ender's Game Character Analysis

    As soon as Graff returns to his cabin, boys start picking on Ender because of Graff's work. The child behind Ender pokes him in the head repeatedly. Patiently, Ender times when the next blow would arrive, and breaks the assailant's arm. Ender's newest tormentor is that boy who broke his arm, Bernard. The students are introduced to the battle room for the first time. They wear stiff flash suits and have glass-like laser guns. Ender begins flying around and testing out the suit. He saw that pulling the trigger on the gun illuminated some light on the floor. The two new friends collect their closest friends, Shen and Bernard, and attack the other sixteen launch members. Later that day Ender's character is faced with two drinks, and if he chooses right, he can go to "Fairyland." The game is rigged, though, because all the drinks kill him and it cannot be defeated.

    Summary: Gangs Of New York

    In the 2002 Film “Gangs of New York” by Martin Scorsese we see New York City reshaped and changed through cultural influence of feuding individuals and groups with different ideas. On the surface the movie seems to have a straight forward theme but in the back ground we see a cultural shift as immigrants come into America and New York City. In the movie we see the political influence during that time in history, and we see social status and classes defined by material possessions such as clothing and other belongings. The movie shows the feud between two gangs who fight for dominance of the five points based off who was born in the country…

    Colonel Graff In Ender's Game

    Colonel Graff also says, “I won’t lie now, either. My job isn’t to be friends. My job is to produce the best soldiers in the world. In the whole history of the world.”(34) Again, this shows Graff being cold hearted and wanting to focus on his sobjective, which is about creating the best soldiers in the world, at whatever cost. Furthermore, when Major Anderson express concern that they will” screw up” Ender because of the training condition they will put him through, Colonel Graff responds, by saying, “ Of course we will, we’re the wicked witch, we promise gingerbread, but we eat the little bastards alive” (10). Not only is this very callous thing to say about a six- year - old boy, this also how cold-hearted Colonel Graff is toward children in general and Ender in particular. He doesn’t even seem to show much remorse at all; in fact, he seems to think it is funny. Graff doesn’t ever question his own moral character or question his actions because he believes that he is justified in being a ruthless person because he is potentially saving the world. Graff also needs to justify what he is doing to Ender he claims that, “ This is the best for Ender, too. We’re bringing him to his full potential” (173). Colonel Graff continues not to care about what he is doing to Ender as a human being and pushes him to be a great killer like Peter, and disregarding the fact that tEnder just wants to be left alone, not hurt anyone and to just live a peaceful…

    Ender's Shadow Chapter Summary

    Ender’s Shadow is a novel that occurs in the future during a time of war between the humans and the Buggers, an insect-like alien species. The story begins in Rotterdam where we are introduced to Poke, a girl in charge of a group of street orphans, who encounters Bean, the protagonist of the book. At the time, Bean was merely four years old, but he is intellectually superior to all of the other starving children in Rotterdam. Thus, he tells Poke of a way to prevent the stronger kids, who are often called bullies, from stealing their food, which is to get a bully to protect them by providing them with food. Poke decides to carry out out Bean’s idea and ends up hiring Achilles, a bully with a malformed leg and a superb mind, who takes over the “family.” Achilles soon murders Poke for the reason that she almost killed him when they initially met, since she were to kill the bully if he had not complied with their conditions. Bean realized…
