“ I thought you were my friend.” – Ender
“ Whatever gave you that idea, Ender?” – Graff
“ Because you—You didn’t lie.” – Ender
“ 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.” – Graff
“ I thought I was going to have to ask for low bunk by the door.” – Ender
“ Remember, I’m the only person here who’s paid to be nice to you. But not too nice. Give me any lip and I’ll break your face. OK?” – Dap

“ Yesterday someone sent a message that was signed GOD,” Bernard said.
“ Really?” said Dap. “I didn’t know he was signed onto the system.”
“ You win.” – Ender
“ I want to see your fart collection,” Alai said.
“ I stored it in your locker. Didn’t you notice?” – Ender
“ I thought it was my socks.” – Alai
“ We don’t wear socks anymore.” – Ender
“ Oh yeah.” – Alai

“ They don’t want to teach me everything,” Ender said. I wanted to learn what it was like to have a friend.”
Alai nodded soberly. “Always my friend, always the best of my friends.”
“ So you’re my friend. Do I get a prize?” Ender asked Petra
“ I’m putting you in Dink Meeker’s toon. From now on, as far as you’re concerned, Dink Meeker is God.” – Rose de Nose
“ Then who are you?” – Ender
“ The personnel officer who hired God.” – Rose de Nose

“ Listen, Ender, commanders have just as much authority as you let them have. The more you obey them, the more power they have over you.” – Dink Meeker
“ I sold my brother,” Valentine said, “and they paid me for it.”
” Salaam, Alai.” – Ender

“ You gold-plated fart,” said Dink Cheerfully. “We’re all trying to decide whether your scores up there are a miracle or a mistake.”

“ Individuals might be bred to sacrifice themselves, but the race as a whole can never decide to cease to exist. So if we can we’ll kill every last one of the buggers, and if they can they’ll kill every last one of us.” –Colonel Graff

Discussion Questions For: Ender’s Game By: Orson Scott Card Discussion Questions by Tor Books Poster Hatrack.com OSC's first encounter with a battle room star Hatrack.com

Question 1
In Chapter 1, Ender thinks, "Sometimes lies were more dependable than truth." Explain what you think he meant by that. Do you agree? Why?

Question 2
Is childhood a right? Does a person robbed of a "normal" childhood have any possibility of stability as an adult? Does Ender have any chance of living "happily ever after"?

Question 3
The Buggers communicate telepathically using no identifiable external means of communication. Was it inevitable that war would have to occur when two sentient species met but were unable to communicate?

Question 4
Card has stated that "children are a perpetual, self-renewing underclass, helpless to escape from the decisions of adults until they become adults themselves." Does Ender's Game prove or disprove this opinion?

Question 5
The government in Ender's world plays a huge role in reproductive decisions, imposing financial penalties and social stigma on families who have more than two children but exerting pressure on specific families who show great generic potential to have a "third" like Ender. Is government ever justified in involving itself in family planning decisions? Why or why not?

Question 6
Is genocide, or in the case of Ender's Game where an entire alien race is annihilated, xenocide, ever justified? Was the xenocide of the buggers inevitable?

Question 7
Ender's Game has often been cited as a good book to read by readers who are not fans of science fiction. Why does it appeal to both fans of science fiction and those who do not usually read science fiction?

Question 8
Peter appears to be the personification of evil, but as Locke, acts as a good person. How does Card treat the concept of good versus evil in Ender's Game ?

Question 9
In their thoughts, speech, and actions Card describes children in terms not usually attributed to children. In the introduction to Ender's Game he states that he never felt like a child. "I felt like a person all along -- the same person that I am today. I never felt that my emotions and desires were somehow less real than an adult's emotions and desires." Do contemporary teens feel this same way? Do only gifted children feel this way or is it a universal feeling?

Question 10
"He can never come to believe that anybody will ever help him out, ever. If he once thinks there's an easy way out, he's wrecked."
"He can have friends. It's parents he can't have."
What happens to children who don't have good role models?
