The Maze Runner

In The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, the readers start off following Amir in 1970s Afghanistan. Amir is a rich child who lives with his father and their servants. Their servants are Ali and his son Hassan. Hassan and Amir are best friends. One day, the two boys run into the town bully Assef. Assef threatens them because Hassan is a Hazara which is basically a second class citizen. Hassan then threatens Assef with a slingshot pointed at his eye and he escapes with Amir. Amir has a inadequate relationship with his father, Baba. Baba and Amir do not share the same interests. For instance, Amir writes a story and tries to show it to his father. Instead of reading the story, Baba’s friend Rahim Khan reads it and praises Aamir

The title The Death Cure, seems almost oxymoronic, falsely true. From the first book, The Maze Runner, it seems like WICKED is desperately searching for a cure that could possibly prevent the extinction of the human race from the Flare. Mainly, The Death Cure is focusing on the cure to the disease. But as we read on, it seems like there was never a cure, but death. The cure looks like it could be letting everyone who has been infected, die while the immunes get to start over. WICKED should have been searching for a way to stop the spread of the disease instead of finding a cure for death, which has been their main problem.

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.

Pans labyrinth is an intense movie of a young girl struggles to break free of the restraints of being a child and the cruelties of living through Spanish fascism.

"Hassan!” I called. “Come back with it!” He was already turning the street corner, his rubber boots kicking up snow. He stopped, turned. He cupped his hands around his mouth. “For you, a thousand times over!” he said.

“That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.” (Hosseini 1-2) Khaled Hosseini published the book The Kite Runner in 2003. This book includes the characters Amir, Hassan, Baba, Rahim Khan and many more. This book is mainly about Amir’s childhood in Kabul, his move with baba to California, and lastly his return to Kabul. Amir is also someone who falls in the shadow. He doesn't really know who he is because of the things that happened to him in the past. In this book he also gives the reader an understanding of what

The founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, developed a wide variety of psychoanalytic theories that are often used to analyze a diverse body of literary and artistic works. An example being, the Family Romance theory. It is an abnormal state of mind a child enters during the pre-pubescent stage. It consists of the child fantasizing that they are not the biological son or daughter of their parents. This occurs when a parent fails to reciprocate affection to their child; consequently, urging them to seek retaliation through imaginary means. The Family Romance theory explains the cultural phenomenon behind children detaching themselves from their parents in order to gain independence. It is a psychological concept featured within the family dynamic of Guillermo del Toro's 2006 film ‘Pan's Labyrinth’. ‘Pan's Labyrinth’ depicts the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War through the eyes of Ophelia, an innocent child, and the magical realm she comes across in the woods. In the film, it is Ophelia's lack of a father figure, rivalry between

There was continually something about specific parts of The Muppets that frightened me, as much as I adore them! I particularly recall one portrayal on a VHS called 'Gonzo's Muppet Weird Stuff' that had Jim Henson and Frank Oz executing as two singing animals using their own mouths flipped around, it was frightening! There was something unsettling about the passages paving the way to the Gorg's kingdom in 'Fraggle Rock'. Be that as it may, nothing was more alarming than the introductory appearance of the trolls in Henson's 1986 film Labyrinth.
