Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card, is an exceptional novel created by an extremely intelligent, intuitive, and talented individual. This novel deals with several social issues and is almost a satire, comparable to Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Some important topics in Ender's Game are compassion, humanity, and the relationship between adults and children. These three elements define the main character, Ender, and influence how he makes decisions and ultimately changes the world. The setting of this particular novel is in several locations (including Greensboro, North Carolina, Battle School, and Command School (on Eros, one of Saturn's moons)), but takes place somewhere in the future. Based on context clues, this could be 100 to 300 years from now, when humans have learned to manipulate gravity, build extremely fast computers, permanently colonize almost every planet in the solar system, create reliable virtual reality hardware and creating software. so complex that even the designers of the software don't know what it does. There are many characters in this book, but only a few have a real impact on the main character. The main character and protagonist of this story is Ender Wiggin. At the start of the novel, Ender is 6 years old, but he has the mental capacity of a 15-year-old, thanks to favorable genetics. When a monitoring device is removed from Ender, he gets into a fight with another boy at school named Stilson. Despite being considerably weaker than Stilson, Ender fatally wounds Stilson, but is unaware that he has done it. When later questioned by Hyrum Graff, a member of the International Fleet, Ender stated that the reason he injured Stilson so badly was so that Ender would not only win this fight, but would win all future fights, even before... middle of paper......at the end of the novel, Ender decides to spend his life trying to find a suitable planet for the Formics to live on again. In conclusion, Ender's Game is one of the best books I have ever read. . Orson Scott Card's ability to tell the story from different characters at times and tell the story from a third person's perspective makes this an entertaining read. Ender's Game also highlights the moral and ethical issues associated with using children as military tacticians. Card emphasized the idea that even though they were children, Ender and the other students had very real thoughts and feelings, no different than adults four times his age. The novel is an incredibly lucid read, but it nevertheless strongly provokes thoughts and ideas in experienced readers. I strongly encourage everyone I meet who is interested in science fiction to read this novel..
