Dynamic Character:
Alby is a dynamic character in the story the Maze Runner. The drastic changes that Alby went through after the Changing are clearly apparent. He is the dynamic character because in the beginning of the story he is nice and also strict and is a leader that manages the Glade. After getting stung by the griever and going through the Changing he becomes very different. He doesn’t want to be the leader and he becomes depressed, crazy and acts differently. It seems like he becomes a whole new person.
Static Character:
I believe that Chuck is the static character in the story the Maze Runner. His character stays the same throughout the story. He stays funny, kind, friendly and loyal to Thomas. He helps Thomas when he first

The hospital, sleeping areas and washrooms are all in the Homestead. It is kind of the living area. At last the Deadheads is the section that has the Graveyard. There is also the map room where the Runners record the maps after they explore the Maze. This are basically all the places that the story takes place in.
Bottom Line: The time of the story is in a futuristic period without a specific date or time. The main setting is in the Glade but we don’t know where in the world the Glade is located. We just know it is surrounded by a maze and is isolated from the real world. The more specific settings of the story could be The Gardens, The Blood house, The Homestead, The Deadheads, The Maze, the elevator and etc.
Conflicts:
There are three types of conflicts in the story the Maze runner:
a) Character vs. Character:
➢ 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.
b) Character vs. Self
➢ The Character vs. Self-conflict in the story the Maze Runner is when the survived Gladers reached the factory and they were standing in a row
In the story, there are multiple examples of the conflicts in order to create suspense. An example of a conflict that is present in the story would be man versus fate; this includes all of the White’s Herbert, Mr. White and Mrs. White. This conflict represents the effects of the monkey’s paw and the theme that fate rules people’s life that Jacobs portrays. A worker from Maw and Meggins tells the White family on page 381 that Herbert is “badly hurt,but no longer in pain.” This explained Herbert’s death the day after the paw was wished on. This creates suspense because Herbert’s death also messed with Mr. and Mrs.White’s fate causing them to become sorrowful and slightly insane and the effects lasted for the rest of their life. Another example of conflict is Man versus Machine; this represents Herbert’s struggle against the work machinery.As readers know, Herbert is caught in the machinery at work and is torn apart to his death, which W.W Jacobs makes a gruesome concept to grasp what type of condition Herbert was in and how he looked. However, this creates suspense because when Herbert is wished alive again, readers can only assume along with Mr. White that he is mangled and looks terrifying and might even anticipate an exact description of how he looks. Lastly, the conflict man versus himself and woman versus
In the story there are 3 types of conflict, Person vs. Self, Person vs. Society and Person vs. Person. Person vs. Self would come in when Carolee had to decide what she was gonna do. Would she call the police or help the person or just leave well alone. Person vs. Society would be the police force against the suspect. Finally Person vs. Person would be when the suspect shot the other police officer and when he was getting shot at.
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
According to Ann Charters in The Short Story and its Writer, "conflict is the opposition presented to the main Character of a narrative by another character, by events or situations, by fate, or by some aspect of the protagonist's own personality or nature. The conflict is introduced by means of a complication that sets in motion the rising action, usually toward a climax and eventual resolution" (Charters 1782).
An example of person vs. society in the story is when the Duvitches just moved into the little town, they were immigrants, everyone made fun of them and bullied them. The other conflict that happened was person vs. self, an example of this in the story is when Andy put the soap in the tub off water with fish, and killed them off.
The Maze Runner In the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner, the main character, Thomas wakes up in a metal box and only remembers his first name. The doors of the box open and Thomas finds himself surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar faces. Thomas gets out of the box and he finds himself in a place that is almost farmlike with high walls. This place was called the glade.
The main character, Thomas appears in a metal box with no memory of who he is. He is placed in a box with a supply of food and clothing and is pulled out only to see a community of young boys all living the Glade. (A farm-like environment) Outside the Glade, beyond the walls is a massive Maze
The book I chose to read is called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The main character, Thomas, is brought into a place known as the Glade, with all of his previous memories completely erased, besides his name. He and other teenage boys go by the title, Gladers, and have created a society where each teenager has a job to upkeep the Glade. The Glade is bordered by a gigantic Maze where monsters, which the Gladers call Grievers, roam at night.
Humans, by nature, are very violent and not very peaceful. People will argue and fight a lot in the Glade. It’s rare for such a large group not to have disagreements as everyone has different thoughts and opinions. Gally, a boy known for his arrogance, disliked and was suspicious of Thomas at first sight. An incident takes place that result in two being questioned by Newt, the second in command.
Golding creates many literary conflicts throughout the story such as man vs. nature, man vs. society, and man vs. technology. The boys are discovering their dark sides of human nature as they are stranded on the island. The conch was a big conflict in this story. The conch represents power and leadership.
Throughout the month, I had read about teenagers that had been taken to a maze and their mine were totally erased. Their was a boy named Thomas, a protagonist, and the only girl in the maze, Teresa, were the last ones to be put in to the maze. Once they had escaped, they were 'rescued' by bunch of strangers with armed weapons and had taken them to their place where it is safe, where they can sleep and be comfortable.
In the movie Maze runner the Death cure Thomas and friends go to the Last known city on earth. Tris figures out that Thomas has the cure, but they are attacked by the main antagonist.
The Glade is a fictional society from the James Dashner novel “The Maze Runner”. It is made up of teenage boys who have no memory of who they are or why they’re there. They live in a small field surrounded by a giant, ever-changing maze filled with horrific and deadly creatures. The story follows a boy named Thomas who arrives in the Glade and has to adapt to their slang and way of life. Soon, strange things begin to happen, disrupting the Glade’s imperative order, a word emphasized throughout the story. For good reason too, as the Glade is divided into four working sections where everyone does their fair share. This system is organized very well and by effect makes the Glade run very well, especially
