Summary
Card is best known for his book Ender’s Game
. He has also written several
other science-fiction works. He has three living children, one of which
became a writer and audiobook narrator. Card describes his writing as an
improvisation for an invisible audience. Evaluation
This type of source is a website. It is extremely credible as it is Card’s own
website operated by himself. I will be able to use this to reference personal
information written by Card.

Summary
This is an article about the influence of Card’s book Ender’s Game
in the
military. It speaks about the Air Force having a need to pilot drone swarms,
similar to the swarms in Ender’s Game.
They have goals to create
unmanned aerial systems via a single control center.
Evaluation
I believe this is a valid source as none of their information seems to be
swayed either to the left or right. It has direct quotes from Col. Brandon
“BB” Baker who is a chief in the Air Force. The author has been a writer for
several Defense organizations such as National Defense Magazine. She
also worked under the Navy for Defense Daily.

Summary
This article is from the Army University Press. It mentions how Ender’s
Game
is on the reading list for NCOs in the Army. It is also on the list for
Marine Corps as well. The article relates to NCO traits in the book, as well
as how to handle toxic leadership throughout the military experience.
Evaluation
This article is reliable because it is from the Army’s University side. There
are several Ender’s Game
book quotes throughout the article. It is also a
good source because of its relatability to the military and how it points out
why Ender’s Game
would be a good read for those in military leadership.

Summary
This is a complete summary of the Ender’s Game
book, so I am able to
look back on it to relate to my research. It fully encompasses key points in
the book, allowing for me to relate certain aspects to prove my points.
Evaluation
SparkNotes is frequently used in the academic community. I may not use
this source fully, but as of right now I think it will be a valuable source. I
have used SparkNotes since grade school, so I believe in its credibility as
there is no opinion and only summaries.
