The main protagonists in A Complicated Kindness and The Kite Runner convey that identities are socially constructed. Identity is shaped through the following factors: parenting, conflict, culture, gender, and genetics. These factors all intertwine and are the main influencers for shaping the protagonists identity.

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.

While he knows next to nothing, he does know one thing, he is supposed to be a runner. Runners are the only people allowed to roam the outsides of the Glade, which is a maze. Thomas learns very little about the maze from the gladers, but one thing that surprises Thomas is the huge stone walls defying physics and closing every night to block out the terrors of the maze.

Americans often think of the middle as a wild and almost barbaric place. Since the 2001, 9/11 attacks, stereotypes and racism has arose towards the arab world and the arab people.

We usually think of how we have been wronged and hardly ever consider the awful treatment that is often shown to arabs.reading “The Kite Runner” Changed a lot of my stereotypical beliefs about the arab world.
