A person can be forced into conformity by family, friends, or society in general which forces them to be and act as other people wish. Card involves the issue of conformity many times in the book Ender’s Game, although conformity can occur in many ways Card tends to use dialect and conflict to suggest conformity in the story. Although these are the main ways Card uses to show conformity in Ender’s Game, there are many other ways Card also uses. Card uses Ender as the main person that has to deal with conformity, he wants his brother’s love, he believes he is becoming a person he does not want to be, and he tries to be the person the adults want him to be.

Ender has to fight Stilson even though he does not want to, because it is the only way to get him to stop. “Ender did not look at Bernard. It was Bonzo who hungered for his death, even though he was silent” is an example of the same conflict that Ender has to face agin(208).

Although Ender is the main person to deal with conformity he is definitely not the only character to deal with conformity. This shows that conformity is something that anyone can deal with and in many different
