Maze Runner Vs Anthem Essay

Maze Runner and Anthem are similar in some ways and different in others. In the book Anthem by Ayn Rand, the protagonist Equality 7-2521 is telling us about what it's like to live where he is and all of the rules that he is supposed to follow. In the movie Maze Runner by Wes Ball, the protagonist Greenie has been sent to this place in the middle of a maze and is trying to survive through the movie. In the book Anthem and the movie Maze Runner they have to follow several rules and if they don’t they will be punished for all that they do. These are both popular with most teens, because they can relate to them.

In the book, Anthem they are in an area where they have two different sections. Equality 7-2521 is in an area and on the other side is this girl named Liberty 5-3000. They are not allowed to cross to each other's sections. “We strive to be like all our brother men, for all men must be alike.” (1.7) This explains how teens feel in today’s society. They feel that they can’t be different we all have to be a like and this is a quote exactly saying that from the book. Teens think they have to try to be the same as everyone which is not true. In the story, Equality 7-2521

is a dystopian protagonist that several teens can relate to because no one wants to have to follow thousands of rules. Characters in this book don’t have memories like we do today. It would be terrifying if we didn’t have memories at all.

In the movie Maze runner, the protagonist is a survivor of a maze that does weird things. “As he explored the area, he realized more and more how well the Gladers kept up the place, how clean it was. He was impressed by how organized they must be, how hard they all must work. He could only imagine how truly horrific a place like this could be if everyone went lazy and stupid.” (9.66) In the movie Maze Runner they have a specific space where they have little areas for them to sleep, and a section there not supposed to be. Greenie ends up breaking rules to figure out how the maze runs. He went in the maze surviving for a whole night fighting for his life and being the first to survive from the maze. In the movie they recap barely any memories because they really don’t have memories.

In both they have minimal technology but most is non-existent. In each story they explain how everything is done in a group of two or more and none is allowed to be individual.

In Anthem that would be the Uncharted forest and in the end Equality 7-2521 runs off into the forest when he finds that Liberty 5-3000 follows him out there to have a happy ending.
