There are four main settings.The first setting is where the book starts out. Earth. It is
sometime in the future. Where aliens, called “buggers” have attacked earth twice and nearly wiped out the human race. Ender is American. The book does not state what state he lived in.
The second setting is in a space station called battle school. There kids are trained for battle. Ender gets sent there. He stays there for six years.
The third setting is Eros, a planet the Buggers had built a base on and the human race has captured. There Ender commands the human fleet and destroys the buggers home planet.
The fourth and last setting is at one of the buggers planets. There is a colony there and Ender becomes governor to seek an answer to his question. This is after he destroys the buggers.
Battle school
Earth
Ender: Ender is the main character of the story.
Ender is dynamic. He is six years old and a genius.
He is small for his age. Ender is tough and does
not fight back directly against bullies.
Bernard is Ender’s first bully. Bernard is static
He tries to embarrass him. But Ender embarrasses
him with a remark on his desk while signed in as
god (a desk is like a portable mini-computer).
Bernard is big and a born bully. He is jealous of
Ender because Ender is better than him in the
battles. He is a minor character.
Graff: Graff is a major character. Graff is static. He is anadult. He’s not too tall but round. Graff is the head of battle school. He is very cunning and is unanimous for most of the book.
Bean: Bean is extraordinarily small for his age. Bean is a static character and is very smart like Ender. He is a minor character in “Enders game” but in “Enders shadow” he is the main character. Bean comes into the story after somewhere in two thirds of the book.
Alai: Alai is a minor character. But plays a important
role in the beginning of the story. He helps Ender
make friends with Bernard. He is little bigger than
Ender. Alai and Ender become very close friends.
A Dynamic character because he is kind because
he said “salaam” to Ender after he was the bully.
Imagery “The face of the hill broke away and fell, it was soft and
spongy; his figure moved more slowly.” “The body had eroded into a hill entwined with grass and
vines.” “The enemy’s gate is always down.” “The room had purple and pink paint with pictures hung up
with a bed and a lamp post.”
Foreshadowing “All right we’re saving the world after all, take him.” Page 1 “They’ve stepped up there, getting ready for war.” Page 1
Simile “… puffy, rising like dough…”
Metaphor“He imagined the ship dangling upside down
on the under surface of earth, the giant fingers of gravity holding them in place.”
Alliteration“…wouldn’t sit still for a single combat settlement.”
Personification“The thunder grumbled like an old man.”“The sun glared down at me from the sky.”

Rising Action: incidents that make you interested and they create conflicts.Examples:When the IF officer (Graff) shows up at Ender’s
homeWhen Graff says to the teachers after Ender leaves
that if he isn’t the one then there won't be oneWhen Ender gets transferred to an army before
everybody elseWhen Ender gets transferred to rat armyWhen Ender gets into his first battleWhen Ender becomes popular and some
commanders start harass him
When Ender gets into a fight with BonzoWhen Ender gets his army When Ender goes to ErosWhen Ender meets Mazer RackhamWhen Ender finds out the Simulations aren’t
fake but realClimax (Turning point): The point in a story
where the author starts ending the bookWhen Ender blows up the Bugger’s home
planet is about where it starts and the climax ends around where the Russian troops go home (the climax is a around a chapter long)
Falling action: where the vents in the story lose action, interest, momentum etc.After Ender destroyed the Bugger’s home
worldWhen Ender’s friends, the ones that fought
with him against the buggers began to go home (from Eros).
When Ender learned he could not go home
MAN V.S MANEnder v.s Peter
Peter bully’s Ender a lot before he went to battle school
Ender v.s BernardBernard bully's Ender
Ender v.s BonzoBonzo tries to kill Ender
MAN V.S SELFEnder v.s self
Because Ender feels like a killer
MAN V.S NATUREEnder v.s gravity/no gravity
When Ender is in the battle room there is no gravity/the gravity differs between levels outside of battle room
MAN V.S SOCIETYEnder v.s Society
Ender is isolated from everybody because he is really small and because he got moved into Salamander Army early
Ender is isolated from everybody because he is really good compared to everyone so he is respected a little too much
MAN V.S FATEEnder v.s Fate
Because Ender is the best commander he is the one that has to command the fleet (his decision decide who lives and who dies).
Theme: Don’t judge a book (this case its people) by its cover(how they look)Evidence:
Bean is a really smart person even though he is small“Peter you're twelve old. I’m ten they have a word
for people our age. They call us children and they treat us like mice” But then Valentine and Peter end doing stuff that goes into history books.
Resolution: “And always Ender carried with him a dry white cocoon looking for the world where the hive queen could awaken and thrive in peace.”
The Mood of the story is that it’s a sad story filled with despair:“And the despair filled him again. Now he
knew why. Now he knew what he hated so much. He had no control over his life. They ran everything. They made all the choices ….. The one real thing, the one precious real thing was his memory of Valentine.”
