The Parallels and Distinctions of Bean and Ender Bean and Ender have many similarities that set them apart from their peers in times of peril. Their intelligence made them the most promising weapon in the war against the buggers, rating highest among the smartest children in the world. This is surprising on account of the dissimilarities of their lifestyles before they went to battle school. However, before and during battle school Bean and Ender had to cope with being small. Ender and Bean were both prodigies in their time, but ironically they had completely different personalities.
The similarities Bean and Ender shared took them to the top, yet their differences gave them the skills that helped them defeat the buggers and survive as long as humanity needed them. Bean and Ender shared a wonderful gift of intelligence that eventually led them to succeed. Before they even made it to battle school they were labeled as humanity’s last hope. Time was running out, the bugger war was rapidly approaching. Because of their genius, Bean and Ender were constantly being pushed ahead of everyone else in battle school.
Colonel Graff was breaking all the rules to make sure that the boys got the proper training before they were sent to command school where their actions constituted life or death. Colonel Graff knew that Bean was too smart to be analyzed. He even claimed Bean was, “Analyzing us.” (Ender’s Shadow pg 146).
The Homework on Advantages Of Changing The High School Start Time
Advantages of changing the high school start time. Education is very important part of our life, so no wonder that our government focuses great attention on both: education process and the students being the integral part of good educational system. The modern school educates children with one objective in mind: their academic success. There are many committees investigating the option of a later ...
Bean and Ender were part of a rare breed that used their brilliance to serve them well in their world, and harnessed their skills to protect mankind. During battle school Bean and Ender’s lives followed the same course, but how they both got there is odd when you look at their “childhood.” Bean and Ender did not have a “normal” childhood, but their way of life was much different. Bean spent his days in the streets of Rotterdam surviving off pathetic rations and fearing death every time he inhaled.
Ender d welled in a nice house with a nice family that cared for one another. Ender was paranoid that his brother Peter would kill him when the time was right, a theory he held even after Peter came to him late at night and whispered in his ear, “Ender… I’m sorry, I’m your brother, I love you.” (Ender’s Game pg 15).
Bean too had a family, but not like Ender’s. He lived in a place where everyone was starving, gangs ruled and even in a gang it was a risk to care for some one else; A risk that Bean, being as smart as he was, was unwilling to take. Bean’s life was all about survival, making a decision one day so he could wake up the next.
The fact that Bean was genetically altered sets him apart from Ender, not to mention every other person at battle school. Their lifestyles were completely opposite, and it’s intriguing that their similarities took them to the same place. In their childhood Bean and Ender lived in different worlds, but they both faced a disadvantage that they had to deal with no matter where they were. Their size was their closest enemy, but helped give them character.
Bean was extremely small for his age and when he joined a gang of kids they had nothing to call him by so they improvised. The children said he “Ain’t worth a bean.” (Ender’s Shadow), hence the name “Bean.” When Bean and Ender were launches, they were made fun of a lot but quickly gained respect. Ender was called “pinprick” and “squirt,” among other things. Bean was also referred to as “baby” and “turd,” but showed no signs that it bothered him, so it eventually stopped. Names mattered little to the two, but fights were a big deal. Ender and Bean were at a huge disadvantage when it came to fights.
The Research paper on End of Life Care 2
It was recognised by Jevon (2009) that caring for the dying patient can be the most fulfilling whilst also most challenging times for nurses and healthcare professionals. This paper will introduce a case study based on personal experience within clinical placement, exploring and analysing the above statement. In accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council Guidelines (2008) names have been ...
For example, when Ender fought S tilson and Bonzo, he had to strike first and win thoroughly or it was all over for him. Bean and Ender hated their inadequate height but never let it get to them, or drag them down. Ender and Bean were both small and brilliant, but those were the only characteristics they shared. For instance, Bean was cold-hearted and cared about little, while Ender was compassionate.
Bean had always had help from others, even in Rotterdam, where his family was his only protection. Sister Carlotta also helped him get out of the streets and into Battle School. Ender believed to his core that no one would ever help him. Colonel Graff set up the system to give Ender the impression that no one would ever come to his rescue. Because of this, Ender relied only on himself.
When the children were fighting the war against the buggers, Bean along with everyone else wanted Ender to lead. Ironically, Ender didn’t want to be used; he didn’t want to kill the billions of buggers that was required in order to win. However, the way Bean and Ender thought is what separated them most. Bean chose whatever path had the best outcome for Bean. He thought only for himself. But Ender cared about people, and they loved him for it.
These were the acute differences that probably decided who was to command. Bean and Ender have similarities, but it would be inaccurate to say that these similarities make them the same. Their distinctions are what kept them surviving through the hard times, and made them who they are. Their similarities took them to the same place, but they took unique paths that eventually led to the defeat of the buggers..
