Identify and describe two conflicts in the story. Explain how the protagonist responds throughout the story and what his or her response reveals about him or her. Write in complete sentences.

Their power struggle is shown through both low and high camera angles as well as through the colours of their costumes and Thomas’s curiosity and Gally’s need for security is portrayed through their many personality conflicts. After analysing the movie, I came to the realisation of being involved in a conflict much like the one between Thomas and Gally; the hope for something better versing the security of the norm. However, I had learnt from that conflict to always hope for and fight for something better as the norm can become as restricting as the maze

Conflict is a key aspect in all pieces of literature. Without it, works would be very boring, predictable and would not be able to draw the reader in. There is usually one main conflict the protagonist faces, whether it is against an evil villain or the evil inside their own self. In the book The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, the courageous protagonist, Lily, struggles with an internal conflict with the guilt of possibly being the cause of her mother's death and the absence of knowledge about her mother. Following a clue left by her mother, Lily runs away from home and meets the "calendar sisters" in Tiburon, SC. There, she is finally able to discover who her mother actually was and learn the truth behind her mother's death: that Lily had accidentally shot her. Upon uncovering the whole truth, Lily is finally able to begin to forgive herself and shrug off the heavy guilt that had burdened her for years. Through Lily's struggle to figure out who her mother was and accept what happened to her, Sue Monk Kidd wishes to communicate that even if something

Her name is Teresa. Teresa tells everyone that everything is about to change, then succumbs to a coma. Thomas feels a connection to her, but can’t figure out where he knows her from. Thomas then decides that he wants to be a Runner, Gladers who go out into the Maze in an attempt to map it and find a way out. While exploring the Maze, Alby is stung by a Griever. Minho, the leader of runners, attempts to get him back into the Glade before the walls close but they are not going to make it. Thomas sees them, then races out to help and becomes trapped outside in the Maze with them. The Maze is most dangerous at night because that is when the Grivers are most active. Despite being the most experienced, Minho panics and runs away leaving Thomas and Alby. Through wits and skill, Thomas manages to save himself with alby, and survive the night in the Maze. That made Thomas a hero and from that, Minho convinces the other Gladers to allow Thomas to become a Runner trainee. Thomas then begins training under Minho. He learns how the Runners map the Maze, looking for patterns to the maze every day. Thomas also visits Teresa who is still comatose. She begins to communicate with him telepathically and tells Thomas that she has triggered the end. The next day the sun has disappeared from the sky, replaced with a dull gray sky. Thomas realizes that the Glade is a fabricated place and that the sky was never real. Teresa tells

In the novel The Maze Runner, there are many internal and external conflicts that occurs throughout it. The main external conflict, would be how Thomas and the rest of the Gladers are trying to find their way out of the maze. This conflict was a struggle all the way to the end of the novel because every night the maze changed its puzzle. Therefor they could not find their way through. Every night the gates would close, keeping the Glades in a safe place and the grievers inside the maze. Another external conflict would be the events occurring outside of the maze. No one on the outside seems to be able to figure out how to get the solar flares from the sun to stop hitting the earth. Wicked leave it up to the kids in the maze to figure out how

The main conflict in the story is character v.s society. Vee is on a constant struggle with herself and with the people behind Nerve. This conflict occurred because Vee decided to sign up for Nerve and go through with all of the dares. I would say the conflict is both internal and external. Vee is fighting with herself about who she wants to be. She is also against everyone at Nerve including the other

The main problem/conflict throughout the novel is the struggle to survive. The 24 contestants in the Hunger Games must kill each other and be the last one remaining. Another conflict is the conflict that Katniss has with herself. She battles with herself, unable to decide whether she loves Gale or if she loves Peeta. For all of the contestants, they must decide who to befriend, betray, or kill.

The conflicts in this book mainly revolve around Paul and Erik Fisher. One conflict in the book is when Paul confronts Erik for making fun of the death of Erik’s football teammate, Mike Costello. Another conflict is when Paul is not allowed to play soccer at his new school due to being legally blind. Another conflict is when during one of Paul’s classes a sinkhole occurs and sucks up most of the portables. Another conflict is that when Paul transfers to a poor school called Tangerine Middle School he does not get along with his new teammates, Victor and Tino. Another conflict is that while houses in Paul’s neighborhood are being fumigated they are being stolen from. One last conflict is that Paul witnesses Erik order his friend Antoine to kill Tino’s brother Luis with a

Thomas and the rest of the twenty Gladers that survived the Maze find themselves in a anti-WICKED organization's headquarters in a world full of humans infected with the Flare-a disease that causes people to act like animals. But on their first morning in the real world they wake up to chaos. There are Cranks (the infected) in the windows screaming and shouting. They go into the main room to find all of their rescuers corpses hanging from the ceiling. When they go into the room where the rescuers put Teresa they find that she is missing and a boy, Aris, replaces her. Aris claims that he was too in a maze, but it is inhabited by females not males--like in "The Maze Runner".

These four teens are on the same road in a world gone mad. Struggling to survive, this is a journey into the heart of darkness but also a journey to find each other and a place of safety. After fighting a lot and going through a lot the four teenagers have to fight at the end of the book when all of these mysterious creatures are attacking them all at once and they eventually get through them but there is still a problem one of them will have to

In the beginning of the book the Gladers wake up in a base where they find hanging bodies and cranks all outside. They also find out Teresa is gone and in her place is a boy name Aris. When they go back out to the hanging bodies, they are all gone. Next, strange guy appears in one of the rooms with a force field around him. He is supposedly from WICKED and has a new trial for the

The Character vs. Character conflict in the story the Maze Runner is the conflict between Thomas and Gally. Thomas and Gally have a conflict with each other. Gally doesn’t seem to like Thomas from day one and he has viewed bad memories about Thomas during the Changing. There is a lot of hatred between Gally and Thomas, and at the end Thomas killed Gally because he tried to kill him and killed Chuck because Chuck jumped in the way.

Thomas, the sixteen years old hero, remembers nothing about himself except his name. His memory has been wiped, as have all the memories of the Gladers, the teenagers who inhabit the maze. The only thing Thomas can recall is that he must solve the Maze to save himself and the other Gladers. The maze is gigantic and the fifty boys who are caught in it live on a farm in the middle of the maze, an area called the Glade. Every day a small number of the boys, the Runners, leave the Glade and head out into the unknown to find a way out and Thomas wants to become one of them. The story is very action-packed and reading the book feels very much like watching a movie. In contrast to The Hunger Games, where twenty-four boys and girls must kill each other,
