The Brilliant Maze of Dreams and Their Hidden Meanings “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” (Roosevelt n.p.). One’s ambitions and dreams can indeed be very beautiful things. If one has ever drifted into a deep sleep wondering into a colorful world that defies all logic, then one has probably wondered where one’s dreams come from. Most everyone has woken up and wondered what in the world caused them to dream about that one specific thing or person. It is important to know what causes people to have dreams in order for one to be able to understand what one thinks about, to help one realize one’s desires and a person’s ambitions, and to aid one in processing events that have taken place in a day.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner is a young adult/ science fiction book which takes place in a maze known as the Glade. Some of the most important characters include Minho and Thomas. Minho is one of the most interesting characters in the book. He was the leader of the boys, called Gladers, and one of the wisest characters in my opinion. Thomas is the main character of the story. Despite his memory loss, he helps guide the Gladers out of the maze they have been placed in. His strong efforts to save the Gladers and do what’s right has earned him the respect and trust to become a leader.
The Maze Runner begins with a young boy, Thomas, starting his new life in an elevator. Thomas has no memory of his life prior to this moment. In his mind he could see things, and he knew things, but he did not know where he was, or where he came from. His life was a mystery. When the elevator doors finally open, Thomas finds himself standing in a glade surrounded by walls. There are several other boys, who like Thomas, do not know where they came from. All the young boys knew were what their names were. These boys, who have no memory of their lives prior to entering the Glade, pull Thomas into the Glade. Thomas quickly discovers that the Glade is like a farm. The farm is run by Alby and Newt. Alby and Newt are two boys who control everything and everyone in the Glade. They force all the boys to do farm work while at the Glade. Alby and Newt are very mean to the boys, and force all of the boys to adhere to a strict set of rules. Thomas discovers that outside the Glade is a maze with deadly creatures called grievers, and they must find a way out of the maze. In the group of boys in the Glade, there is a group of runners. The runners are the ones who go
I am not new to the idea of failing, but I refuse to accept failure as a mistake I will be remembered by. Through recent experiences I have learned how to react to failure, ask for help, and move on with my life.
Tis the season for pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and of course, corn mazes. One farmer right here in Evansville, created an extra special corn maze in honor of the late actress Carrie Fisher.

The loud buzz of the intercom whines throughout the school, announcing the event of the day, at least in our eyes. “... like math? Don’t forget to attend the Fall Outreach at Lupine Hills Elementary School!” and the silent apprehension of the day is met with cheers from the “nerds” in the classroom. We call out one of the perks of volunteering in outreaches: “C’mon guys, you get community service hours!” Flash-forward to later in the evening. We begin with “spookifying” the room, placing pumpkins that were carved with an array of faces, from the kawaii to the frightening. The elementary school principal loves it. The students eyes are caught in the heat of a dollar bill that seems to be burning, but is left untouched by the flames. A pair to the left have their hands sticky with the scientific phenomenon of “oobleck”, smashing cornstarch and cleaning fluid into heavy balls and then letting it drip like honey through their fingers. Across the room are children covering their ears and giggling at the squeaky noises dry ice makes when in contact with metal. Even more are ogling at the cookies and cream ice cream made from the dry ice, the show stopper of the
The Night Of The Corn Maze Kidnap Sam a kind, smart yet beautiful girl. She wasn’t noticed a lot by others, unlike Austin. Austin is popular along with his over confident, selfish girlfriend, Angela. At least Sam had someone. She had Karol, her best friend ever since they were little kids. Karol was weird, yet somehow Sam was able to put up with him. But Sam had a secret that no one could know. Ever since freshman year she has liked Austin, hoping he would like her back. But as the years past, she lost hope in the thought of Austin liking her back.
Worse, many schools now take their children on field trips to the habitat of the wild pumpkins. They turn them loose to chase down the little orange creatures and rip them from their families. Furthermore they carry them back to school where the awful and hideous mutilation of their poor trembling bodies is encouraged by their teachers!
Travis Bakker Mrs. Kriegbaum The Maze Runner- 375 pages Fear can cause people to do two things: overcome the impossible or to fall short of what someone is capable of doing. In most cases, fear is a obstacle and causes more damage than good. In The Maze Runner, Thomas arrived in a village of boys his age, called the Glade, and had no recollection of where he has come from or anything about himself. He learned that everyday the walls surrounding them open up to a maze and each day the maze is rearranged differently. Even though it seems these walls are a hindrance, the walls protect the boys from grievers, which are trying to kill them. Trying to find a way out, the boys have assigned a group to run through the maze and record the changes. From the beginning, Thomas shocked
I was so excited! I could not stay still in line. It was finally our turn to go we started in this small corn maze. People with scary costumes popped out of the corn and try to scare us. There costumes were so cool they had zombies with bloody all over them. After we got out of the little corn maze we wint into this house. WOW! It was really dark in there and fogy. It look super cool and scary with all the spider webs and spiders. We had to walk through the house to get to the tractor. So we walked, people were popping out from right to left. We finally got out of that dark and foggy house.
When fights occur, the correctional officers will use maze or paintball guns with maze in the ball to disperse the crowd. It takes a few seconds to affect them but for those few seconds the inmates start to curse out the correctional officers. There were multiple inmates throwing up gang sign and working out. Our tour guide officer told us a story about the Norteños. She told said that a correction officer didn’t ensured the door closed therefore, the Norteños acknowledge this and the leader of that gang ordered 2 members to beat on the enemy while the 3rd member holds the door. The 3rd member went on the ground and locked his arms out by the door, so the correctional officer couldn’t close it. They finished beating the inmate up and went back
Maze Runner is about people (specifically males) being put into a maze not knowing how they got there, trapped until they find a way out, in the maze there are these spider looking robots called “Grievers” that try to kill them while they are in the maze. The maze has doors that move around in it, so it changes up every night, and the runners only have certain times they can go in because there’s doors to enter the maze and it has certain times it open and closes. There’s different kinds of jobs they have to do while “living” there: like gardening, running, and building. Gardening, to provide food and keep plants alive, running, to find a way out the maze, they map the maze and figure out different ways to get out, and building, for shelter. The whole purpose of these males being put in there is to be tested.
