WICKED In Maze Runner

The Gladers show this by being in a tough situation, but making the most of what they have to exit the maze. Thomas, Theresa, and the rest of the Gladers could have given up when they began being attacked, but they made the most of it to make it out alive. Also this is shown when the rebels come and save the day. On page 361 when the rebels take the opportunity to save the Gladers they say, “Just follow me and run like your life depends on it. Because it does.” This part of the book allows the rebels to take their opportunity and save the Gladers.

To begin with, the author foreshadows that WICKED was not done with the Gladers yet. “He knew these dead people. They were the ones who’d rescued the Gladers. Just the day before.” (13). This shows that they were not rescued. They were just taken to another part of WICKED. Also, “What had happened? How could everything be taken away from them so fast?” (14). This shows that the Gladers’ situation just got bad fast. The author is foreshadowing that they will still have to deal with WICKED’s trials. Thus, the author uses foreshadowing to keep people reading.

First, an important theme in the novel is “The enemy is the only real teacher.” For instance, Mazer gave an important speech about the enemy to Ender. He said, “No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong.” (Card, 263). Furthermore, this quote

The second reason why the novel “The Maze Runner by James Dashner” is related our society today the government is slowly controlling us but later in the future they will be the ones control everyone and everything. In the novel they controlled them but putting them in the maze and study their brains they would not let them out until they found their way back out. James Dashner states on page 177 “ But then again, no one’s ever tried to tell us what they remember during the changing. They always refuse. Alby tried to--- must be why he went nuts for a while. “ Thomas paused in the middle of chewing. Could the people behind the maze control them somehow? It was terrifying thought. “We have to

altered in our brains. (Dashner 303). " In this part of The Maze Runner, Thomas is talking to the keepers about what is going on inside of his head from the changing. This quote is an example of control through surveillance, because the beetle blades are spy's, or cameras from the people that sent them into the glade those beetle blades are how the people outside of the maze, see the people inside of the maze. These people can control these beetle blades, so that they can study the people inside of the maze.

They both are valuable to the program and will be extremely significant to the battle against the Buggers. Mazer Walk is just trying to get Ender to understand that it's all on him. Mazer is also trying to prepare Ender for the battle although he can be 100% like the buggers. Mazeris trying to help ender understand he’s the most valuable because he’s ultimately the one that is gonna finalize this program.

The wicked witch has no emotion. Instead of the wicked witch of the west showing emotion or grief for her sisters death, she goes straight to get the ruby slippers, because then she would behold the power

I had been wanting to read Wicked for a long time. I finally found a copy at a thrift store (must be everyone is hanging onto their copies), but had a list of other books to read first. With all of those out of the way, it was finally time to get around to Wicked. It seemed really strange at first with the weird names and the clock puppet with two *ahem* "thingies". However, once you get used to the format of it, it's really easy to get into. In all my years I never would have stopped to think about the past of the Wicked Witch of the West (or the East for that matter). Who would have thought that Glinda and the Wicked Witches were roommates at boarding school, or that the witch is so mean because her lover was killed? I sure wouldn't have thought that far into their backstories. I remember Richard Armitage saying in an interview that when he takes on a role, he writes a biography for the character to better become that person. This book takes on that ideal and really almost makes you more sympathetic to Elphaba than to Dorothy. It should be interesting to watch the movie again now that I "know" more about the characters!

Teresa suddenly got memories of what happened and how she worked for WICKED with Thomas, that came to a shock with everybody, then all the sudden the the walls wouldn’t shut and Thomas got the idea to go into the maze and try and find a way out of the maze safe and with everybody still alive but unfortunately there were some sacrifices and some people did die, but Thomas and most of the gladers made it out, they went through all the grievers, all the running and all the things the maze comes with. Thomas and his friends get saved by some adults and they got took to a safer place, and that’s the Maze Runner. The second book in the maze runner serious is, The Scorch Trails, this book is primarily about how Thomas and the rest of his friends are in a facility and the adults who saved them say there the good guys but they are really WICKED and they want the youths blood to find a cure to The Flare, once Thomas finds out his friends and him escape and go out into the scorch, they travel to find anybody they could that could help and not be a problem to them. Meanwhile Teresa thinks a good thing to go back to WICKED and help them and what they want to do to find that cure no matter what it takes. That is how scorch trails is about.

Musicals were originally developed in the 20th century with the purpose to entertain, however, they have surpassed this and have accomplished to entwine with the emotions of an audience group through the manipulation of certain musical elements. One of the musicals that correspond to an unadulterated musical is The Wicked. The wicked is based on a book by Winnie Holzman with the Music and Lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz. The musical focuses on the basis of an unlikely friendship and who struggle with opposing viewpoints, personalities and rivalry. This friendship is shown through the pop melodies with an addition of sophisticated musical theatre song construction.

Thomas had convinced most but not all of the Gladers to fight their way to get out. The fight to their way out was carnage and “war raged around them”. Their fighting was fueled with “panic-induced adrenaline” and a “cacophony of terror” surrounded them.(Dashner 338). Finally after they entered their code to get out of the maze, they met their “Creators. ”All that they learned from one of their “Creators” was that they’ll “one day be grateful for what [they’ve] done for [them].

Firstly, there will always be a fight between good and evil; this is shown many times throughout Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Wicked is about Elphaba better known as the Wicked Witch of

Well I think since the glade is a cheerful place that they will think the future will be like that so they will be motivated to make it come true.

I choose the Maze Runner as my semester reading project is because the cover of the book seemed interesting. On the cover there was these great walls and two young men running into the gap between the two walls. Also, I had wanted a challenging book to read and the Maze Runner had seemed challenging enough. Another reason why I choose this book was that the movie was about to come out about the time the project was assigned. I would rather read the book, then to watch the movie first.
