The Maze Runner, By James Dashner

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.

Waking up not knowing anything or anyone is one of the scariest thoughts a human brain can conjure up, but what if this turned out to be a reality for you? How terrified would someone feel? Then you find out you were taken by a mysterious force along with about fifty to sixty other people. Well this turned out to be a reality for Thomas in the book The Maze Runner, by James Dashner. In this book, Thomas faces the challenges of trying to fit in with the other boys, faces the challenge of trying to follow the rules, and faces the urge to become a maze runner. All of these reasons show how Thomas is an outcast archetype.

When Thomas comes to the maze, no one knows him. He has to try to make friends. In the beginning, when no one knows you, it is hard to make friends. He only makes one friend but he still seems like an outcast. His one friend isn’t very popular so that doesn’t help thomas. The author uses dialogue to show that no one knows him. The author also uses dialogue to show his

While the more childish actions work against the ones of those trying to restore order. During the first few meetings Ralph and the rest of the group made up rules. Only most of the boys immediately started to disobey them. “We have lots of assemblies, everyone enjoys speaking and being together. We decide things. But they don’t get done” (Golding 79). The irresponsible kids don’t do the work and this creates disorder. The more responsible boys try to take action and set things right. When talking about shelters Ralph addressed the poor job the group had done. “Me’n Simon built the last one over there. That’s why it’s so tottery. No. Don’t laugh. That shelter might fall down if the rain comes back. We’ll need those shelters then” (Golding 80). When they boy’s gave up on shelters, Ralph and Simon continue to build the shelters and try to create a safe environment. But without the support of everyone, the shelter was weak and unreliable. The more adult-like kids work to fix the damage done by the other more destructive children.

Doomsday. Armageddon. 2012. The end of the world or the apocalypse is known by its many names and has become an extremely viral subject for this generation. But, imagine living in a world not playfully joking around about the apocalypse, but strategically trying to survive it. This is the harsh reality for Thomas, a teenager living in a virus polluted and self-destructing planet. A deadly disease has broken out called “the flare” which causes the most sane and rational people to become raging and hysterical flesh eaters. Not only has the virus taken the lives of millions, but the extreme climates have also killed the few remaining.

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.

“Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. The lightness elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended…a smell like burnt oil…” (Dashner 1). To be awoken in an elevator; an unknown place with no memories, not recalling anything, or the purpose of being in the maze would have driven anyone insane. In the novel, The Maze Runner, the main character Thomas is thrown into the Maze along with a group of sixty or more boys, and all of them have severe cases of amnesia.

Thomas wakes up in a metal box with no memory of who he is. He only remembers his name. Doors open overhead revealing a community of young boys all living on a type of farm surrounded by very high walls. The place is called the Glade. Outside the Glade, beyond the walls is a massive Maze populated with monsters, known as Grievers. Every month a new boy is sent to the Glade. Each week supplies come up through the elevator that Thomas rides.

In the end, they complete the maze, but figure out that the maze was just one of many tests the group will have to go through to figure out Earth's major problems. Some people may never get out alive, but why must teenagers be, in a way, sacrificed, to figure out Earth's problems?

A 11-year-old in dim horn-­rimmed glasses, Jordan is a lover of Minecraft, the PC diversion in which you make things out of virtual squares, from confounding towers to whole urban areas. He as of late read "The Maze Runner," a science fiction thriller in which young people live inside a booby-­trapped maze, and was enlivened to come up with his own rendition — something he then would challenge his companions to explore.

The Scorch Trails is the second of five books from the Maze Runner Series. As a reader, one of the most fascinating elements in a book is the excitement. This book has sent me wonder to wonder from the seemingly endless possibilities of the world and will not disappoint when it comes to excitement.
