Maze Runner

I am reading a book called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I am now in the middle of the book, if you want to know what has happened, read my earlier blog post. Last week, I explained the characters and the protagonist, Thomas. You have learned where and what he is in. Well now so much stuff happened from that one area.

First of all, you learn what the other character's personalities are like. They are very different. You get to visualize the land and how there is a gray wall. You learn its a maze and Thomas asks many questions about this wall.

Second, a new character comes and this time it is a girl! Know this, this is the first girl to ever come along in this book. Somehow this girl knows Thomas, and only Thomas. When she was coming out of the box, the first thing she said was Thomas. Ahhhhhh, I'm soooo confused, so many questions just popped into my head. Who is she? Where is she from? Okay, Okay I will go back to what I was originally saying. When she reached out of the box, she was really scared and the only person she would talk to was Thomas.

Okay, so this is all you will get this week. Wait till next time to get a few answers that not only you want, but I also want.

The Maze Runner

We just had spring break last week and I started reading a book called The Maze Runner and I am completely obsessed. I read a lot of it over the spare time I had during spring break. This book uses a lot of imagery to help get the reader to understand what the main character, Thomas, is going through and it really helps set a great tone to the book.

It all starts out the protagonist, Thomas, wakes up in a moving box that seems to be moving. He remembers most of the knowledge that he learned, but doesn't remember his friends and family. He only remembers his name, Thomas. He is on the box for at least what it seems to him for hours, but it has actually been about 20-30 minutes. The elevator opens and he sees blurry pictures of boys and they seem to be taunting him, but when a guy helps him up a guy tells him, " Nice to meet ya, shank...Welcome to the Glade" and this is how it all begins.

As he starts to regain his eyesight, he notices a wide range of boys from different sizes, races, and age color. He looks around and sees a gigantic grey wall wondering if there was ever a way to get out.

The people around him start to make fun of him, but the leader finds him and tells them to stop. His name was Alby. He was described as a normal looking guy. Thomas also meets a guy named Newt. He falls down and takes a long nap wishing that this was all just a dream.


This is the most I can say this week... yes I know you want to hear more, but it leaves suspense.
