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

One way the setting has an impact includes the characters. The safe beach is an example of how the setting can impact the character. According to the story, “The boy . . . turned his eyes, which had a frown behind them, toward the bay and back again to his mother” (1). Jerry’s mother wants him to stay at the beach.
