ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card follows Ender Wiggin, now an adult, as he travels to the planet Lusitania to speak the death of a xenologer. The story explores the complex relationships between humans and an alien species known as the "piggies." When he arrives, Ender is drawn into the lives of a troubled family and their interactions with the native population. The narrative examines themes of communication, understanding, and the consequences of isolation and fear. The rigid adherence to the rules of minimal intervention prevents true understanding between species, and the book showcases the power of storytelling in bridging divides and fostering empathy, as Ender uses his role to reveal the truths of the characters. The book explores guilt, redemption, and the dangers of unchecked power.
