"Ender's Game": From Beginning to End

Content: After Ender had been recruited into the I.F.'s Battle School, he was taken aboard a space shuttle that was filled with other recruits. Soon afterward, the shuttle and the recruits headed toward the school. During the journey, however, Colonel Graff manipulated the recruits into loathing Ender, for he intended to enhance Ender's creativity by secluding him. As a result, Ender was isolated from the rest of the students. This event was of some importance, for it was the first time that Colonel Graff had manipulated Ender. If it had not occurred, Ender would not have developed the ability to maintain a creative mind in difficult situations. The climax of "Ender's Game" was also extremely similar in both the book and movie. In both forms of "Ender's Game", Colonel Graff and Mazer Rackham manipulated Ender by making him believe that he was fighting a simulated enemy, for Ender was actually waging a war against the buggers. Because Ender was unaware that he was fighting in real battles, he destroyed what he thought was his simulated enemy's species. However, he had, in reality, destroyed the alien species that the world had been fearing.
