With these skills that Ender has, he was able to conquer and defeat the Buggers, with the help of a few friends. In our world today we have people that can be like Ender and we have some who are the total opposite of Ender. Can Ender have the same personality traits as someone else. Someone you can compare Ender to is Thomas Edison. The reason we think that Ender and Thomas Edison could be alike is because they both try to never give up when they have to do something.

a few times, but he had courage and hope to never give up and because of that he was able to go and defeat the Buggers. Something like that happened to Thomas Edison, when he was trying to invent the light bulb. Thomas Edison around 1,000 unsuccessful attempts when he was trying to invent the light bulb in late 1800’s. Thomas Edison never gave up while he was attempting to create a light bulb and because of that we are able to be remember him as a great inventor. Another person you would compare Ender with is Martin Luther King Jr, Martin Luther King Jr is like Ender because they are both a leader. Ender was a leader because we was leading five people into the battle to fight against the Buggers. Between Martin Luther King Jr and Ender their leadership were both different. Ender lead people to war and Martin Luther King Jr lead the civil right movement in the mid-1950 to the early 1968. We can learn from them to be nice to others and people will follow you. Because of that you will lead by an example for others. Even though one is a real person and the other is just a hero, and the other is just a character in a book and movie they are both a leader and we should think of them as an example. We should try to be like them in all ways and I challenge you to be an example to the others and whenever you can. Someone you can compare Ender to is Albert Einstein because they are both really smart it different situation.
Ender had to study to figure out what to do when he was fighting. When Ender was fighting the buggers he had to come up with a backup plan if something went wrong when he was trying to fight the buggers. Albert Einstein was a scientist in the 1900. He was best known for Mass energy equivalence formula E=mc2and the only reason he was able to figure out this equation was because he was very smart. Both Ender and Albert Einstein are smart in different ways. Even though Ender in not as smart as Albert Einstein he was still able to overcome situation he had to go through. Even though Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Martin Luther King Jr may be like Ender, they could all have thing in common. For instance, they are all smart, but in all different ways. Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison are smart when it comes to science and inventing or discovering. Martin Luther King Jr is smart when it comes to the Civil Right movement and maybe other things. Even though they all lived in a different time in the world they ended up having close to the same
characteristic. In conclusion, you never know if a character in a book or in a movie could have the same characteristic as a person in real life. For instance you could have the same characteristic as one of your family members or just a random person you meet on the street. You never know who you are like. When you compare your characteristic with someone else he could end up being your best friend or who you are married to. My challenge to you is to make new friends and try to be nice to everyone you meet because you never know how their past has gone.

"Let him be the astronaut for once"(Card) Ender always plays the bugger, the weak underdog whilst

Although Ender’s conception was predetermined (in this time period, families are only allowed to have two children unless stated by the government which is why Ender is often called a “Third”), he had to display the correct characteristics to be selected. Ender’s siblings, Peter and Valentine also wore the monitor, but neither wore it as long nor was selected because Peter was too cruel and Valentine was too mild. Once Ender arrives, he makes a couple new friends from the other selected children, including a boy named Alai.

Henry Ford and Walter Reuther are two of the biggest names in the world of automobile industries and organized labor. They were both activists in their own way. Also, they were completely different from each other, one could even argue that they were opposites. Their ideas were contradicting, but still both of them had positive effects on society.
How well known people are effects how influential you are, and while these 2 characters from history are not as influential as LeBron James and trending pop stars are in their time, they’ve used their influential abilities in positive ways that affect everyone today. Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. are both amazing leaders of the suffrage and civil rights movements. Anthony with Women’s rights, and King with African American’s rights took Civil Rights as a whole a few great leaps forward; brought forth an era where the Civil Rights Movement is something almost everyone believes in, that equal rights should be something everyone has.

This is a legacy that is the idea or thought that everyone is equal.
Ender is first shown as intelligent and skillful, and Peter shows the same attributes throughout the story. Ender uses his intellect to triumph over his bullies, and this translates to his experience in the Battle Room. He has to outsmart the enemy, rather than beat them physically, and it worked in his favor the majority of the time. Ender understands when he has to use his physicality to beat a bully, but also knows when he has to strategize to avoid a certain situation. When Ender is encountered by Bonzo after he won the battle by disobeying Bonzo’s orders, he has to use his judgement rather than his fists to get what he wants. Ender argued with Bonzo, “‘... I’ll pretend that you won this argument. Then tomorrow you can tell me you changed your mind.’ ‘I don’t need you to tell me what to do.’ ‘I don’t want the other guys to think you backed down. You wouldn’t be able to command as well’” (Card 87). Ender understands what his enemy, in this case Bonzo, wants, and knows how he can make both of them get what they want. He doesn’t resolve to violence when he knows that he can use a different method that benefits him. Ender’s intelligence and strategizing helps him overcome the difficulty he approaches throughout his life. Peter also uses his intellect to benefit himself throughout the events that happen.
Therefore, Ender shows the reader that he takes responsibility as an adult for just waking up early and on time for his battles. Therefor, Ender taking that responsibility must be hard since he's just a kid and has to be responsible for
Throughout the novel, Ender gradually begins to realize that he is not so different from his brother Peter. Ender grew up being punished and beaten up just for being a third who was smarter than Peter. This explains why Ender wants nothing to do with him when he leaves home. The mind game periodically reminds Ender that he is not completely different from him through certain levels. On the first obstacle that proved difficult, he brutally
Barbara Sher is quoted saying, “Isolation is a dream killer” which is a perfect summation of Ender’s lonely journey through an isolated childhood. Ender’s Game is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card about a young boy named Ender Wiggin who is taken from his family at the age of six for rigorous training that ultimately leads the entire human space fleet against the alien race, the Buggers, that threatens to destroy all of mankind. Card makes it clear from the very beginning Ender is alone in all this. It is precisely this that is needed for the transformation Ender must undergo to carry the weight of an entire race on his shoulders. Isolation becomes the primary element that contributes to Ender’s success as a leader because it instills self-reliance, strength, and above all else, empathy. He realized that no one is there to help him, no one is coming to his rescue, and only he can be the one to save them all.

Einstein’s education was unconventional for a person who was to become a success. Early on, he was failing a large number of his courses; and he transferred from a German school at age fifteen to a Swiss school, so that he could avoid compulsive military service in the German armed forces. By the age of sixteen, he officially became a school dropout. His grade school principle made the statement to his parents, “it didn’t matter what profession the boy prepared for because he wo...
Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglas are both ideally similar but at the same time, vastly different. While their paths to freedom are not in line, they share the same views on the value of education. Likewise goals and methods are a point on which they do not agree. Neither of them lived a soft and easy life, but if you were to ask one of them, he would tell you that he lived life to the fullest and it was good.
