Week Three for The Maze Runner - My Title for these chapters. - The Confusion Starts (So Far) Thomas finally started becoming a runner. He has now started his training two days in. He has liked it so far he has seen the map room and the weapon room but he figures out that their main weapon of defense is a knife. Which got me thinking it would be hard to protect yourself from grievers with just a knife. The real attention catcher for me was on the wall in the maze where it said "W.I.C.K.E.D or WORLD IN CASTASROPHE-KILLZONE EXPERIMENT DEPARTMENT." This far in the story I still don't get why would do this to these poor kids. The part that also grabbed my attention is that Theresa finally woke up from her coma. She slightly remembers what happened or how all of this commotion happened. But one thing she told Thomas is "The Maze Is The Code." The weird part is that the sky got grey that day and the grievers would go down a "griever hole". The sky was weird it is getting interesting. This has now caused confusion across the Gladers and they want to find an answer. What didn't help is that the map room was set alight. But then it said that they actually hid the maps in the weapons room. What doesn't make sense is that Theresa said that she "Triggered Something To Cause "The End"". Then Thomas got the maps and wax paper and put it together and made the letter F,L,O,A, and T Or FLOAT. Then It Spelled C,A,T,C, and H or CATCH. They discovered the trick that made "FLOAT" and "CATCH". All the letters ended up saying "FLOAT, CATCH, BLEED, DEATH, STIFF, and PUSH. Then the night came and a griever got a character called Dave. Thomas jumped on the griever trying to pry it free from Dave but also letting it sting him so he could go through "The Changing". After that Thomas called a gathering of the keepers to talk about what happened to
Strange things began to happen the next couple days. First, Joey was in the living room of Grandma’s house making a jig saw puzzle. He heard the sound of a horses hooves walking slowly on the street then the sound stopped in front of the house and heard someone put something in Grandma’s mail box.

Then, a dead mouse was found floating in the bottle of milk that was delivered to the front
Are friends the best resources when in need? Yes, no? Well in these stories they are. Like in Harry Potter, he used his friends all the time like when he is wondering Voldemort is still really still alive who are the people that he comes to…his friends. Or in The Maze Runner Thomas when thomas is wondering about if he should go out in the maze and face the greevier’s. Who are the people that he goes to...his friends! In these two stories Harry Potter and The Maze Runner there are some similarities, but there are also some differences.
Anyone as brave as Thomas does not sit back and relax to watch one of his injured friends from being trapped outside as it is about to hit night time. An injured person outside of their safe haven almost equals imminent death. Thomas instinctively ran to his injured comrade in order to save him, to only find out that he himself is also trapped outside of the Glades. "For several seconds, Thomas felt like the world had frozen in place. A thick silence followed the thunderous rumble of the Door closing, and a ...

The book is sectioned into three sections. The three sections were the stories of three kids, who were going through the same tragedy but in there view. I liked the way she did this because not only gave you a detailed look through one child, but you go to experience the knowledge of three different children and what they thought. It makes it possible for more people to be able to relate to this book.

The novel The Maze Runner by James Dashner begins with a teenage boy waking up in an elevator who has no memory of the past, only that his name is Thomas. When the doors of the elevator open up he is pulled into a humongous square surrounding, called the Glade, by a group of teenage boys. The boys in the Glade refer to themselves as the ‘Gladers’. Thomas learns that the Gladers have lived in there for two years and that the Glade is located in the center of a maze which contains a labyrinth of high walls that move during the night and deadly creatures called grievers. The Glade is led by two boys, Alby and Newt; they both maintain order in the Glade by enforcing strict rules and jobs that keep the Gladers busy. A day after Thomas’ arrival an unknown girl arrives in the Glade. This shocks everyone because the Gladers only receive a new person every month, never within the same week. This also shocks everyone because she was the only girl in a maze full of boys. The girl also gives a message that everything is going to change and that she is the last one ever. Right after her message she immediately falls into a coma. The arrival of the girl causes many things to go chaotic including the sun seizing to rise, the Gladers stop receiving supplies from the creators of the maze, and the doors of the Glade that protect the Gladers from the grievers at night stop closing. When the girl, Teresa wakes up she informs Thomas that they both knew each other in the past and that the maze was a code. Thomas and the people who run around the maze to map out the labyrinth, the runners, look through the archives of the maps and find out the code. Then the leader of the runners, Minho, figures out that the cliff they thought was just a cliff was actua...
I have always loved to read. While most children prefer watching television, I would rather read a book. About two years ago I read the book The Maze Runner, by James Dashner. After reading this book, I realized just how much Christ effects literature. I learned that we can see aspects of Christ in books written by secular authors. You can find Christian allegories that the author didn’t even realize they were writing.
maze as being life, and the shells are broken bits of it washed ashore, it becomes clear that
