The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials

“Runner, he thought as he went on break. Just let me be a Runner. Once again he thought about how absurd it was that he wanted it so badly. But even though he didn't understand it, or where it came from, the desire was undeniable” (Dashner 106). Thomas, the protagonist in The Maze Runner by James Dashner, wakes up to find himself in a glade surrounded by a labyrinth keeping Thomas and other boys stuck with no way to exit. Until Thomas shows up at the glade, boys called “Gladers” had given up on the idea that they could find a way out of the maze and had started creating a lifestyle there. Except Thomas, who believes in the idea of a way out and he feels determined to discover it. Thomas is believed to be unconscionable, ambiguous, and puzzled

Thomas is the narrator and protagonist of the story. He arrives in the maze with no knowledge of who he is or was. He only remembers his name and nothing else about his life. Thomas proves to be brave and clever even though he only has a very limited memory of previous knowledge of the Maze. Since arriving in the maze, Thomas makes both friends and enemies and proves to be a leader among the other boys with him in the maze.

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.

In the beginning, the main character, Thomas, has his memory wiped so he doesn’t know anything. Over time though, he begins to accept where he is (the Glade) and that the people in the Glade have nothing but each other. Thomas also adapts to the Glade’s slang, and talks like a Glader. He also saves the lives of some Gladers who are his friends, such as Alby. At the end Thomas became a sort of leader, trying to make the best decisions when the rest of the Gladers didn’t know what to do. Thomas talks to the other Gladers like someone would talk to their friends or family, and Thomas does his best to help protect the Gladers. Thomas is hard and cold to the people from WICKED, as at the end one of their workers kills Chuck, one of Thomas’s

The terrifying nature of freedom causes individuals to assimilate into society out of fear. Societies thus take advantage of this by oppressing individuals to maintain stability. In George Orwell’s 1984, which is based on a rundown city called Oceania, the proles always accept everything that the party tells them without any questions. They let the government completely control their lives without hesitation. The Maze Runner by James Dashner also exhibits oppressive environments and individuals who accept these societies. In the Maze Runner, the people in the maze are all trapped in a maze, limiting where they can go and what they can do. Both 1984 and The Maze Runner exhibit the oppressive nature of society and how accepting to be controlled

Being scared: As you are sent away while you 're young to a mysterious place with no memories of the past. Most things in life cost something, sadly, and in the Gladers case, sometimes the cost they are making is someone 's life.
