Setting
Fuck
The setting during The Maze Runner by James
Dashner takes place in many places. One of the
largest settings is the Glade. The Glade is where
the story is mainly takes place. The Glade is a
pretty well preserved considering how old it is.
When you first arrive in the Glade you come out a
box. When you arrive in the Glade your memories
are gone. For example the main character Thomas
is thinking about hot dogs, but he cant remember
the last hot dog he ate, or who he ate it with.
The Glade also houses many places such as the
cemetery, farming fields, forests, blood house,
and the homestead. One of the very important
parts of the setting is the maze. Surrounding the
glade is a huge maze, this maze holds many
monsters called Grievers. To protect the Glade
from the Grievers there are four walls the west,
east, south, and north walls. As you see in the
caption of the picture it talks about runners.
Runners are people who run around the maze
looking for an exit. The runners work from sun up
to sun down. All of the walls close at sun down
to keep the Grievers out of the glade.
These are the runners coming into the Glade
before the walls close.

Thomas
Thomas is the Newbie in the Glade, he arrived
in the box like everyone else. All of his
memories and past knowledge have been wiped when
he arrived. Later in the story when a girl came
into the Glade (which is odd because only boys
are sent into the Glade) he felt connected to the
girl some how. Later he realizes that he wants to
become a Runner. Thomas is a very strong well
built young man. We believe that Thomas has brown
hair and brown eyes, and is about 510. Thomas is
a very brave character in the story because of
the risks he takes. Thomas is the main character,
and he is a protagonist. Thomas is also a dynamic
character.

Newt

• Newt is a boy around 16-17,. His job in the Glade
  is being a runner. Newt is one of Thomass only
  friends in the Glade saying that he is the
  Newbie. Newt is also Albys second hand man.
  He is also one of the main keepers. Newt is
  usually the character that gives everyone
  important news. Newt always keeps calm, and is
  very responsible. He is a great leader, and keeps
  everyone in line. Newt also is a very caring
  person, because when Alby gets sick, he helps
  take care of him in the homestead. Newt is an
  protagonist, a major character, he is also a
  static character.

Teresa
Teresa is the first girl to arrive in the Glade.
When the girl arrives from the box, the Gladers'
realize that she has a note in her hand that says
Everything is going to change. When she arrived
she was in a coma, this coma lasted a very long
time. Later in the book Thomas realizes that he
feels some connection to Teresa in his past life.
Thomas then realizes that Teresa can talk to
Thomas by thinking. Then Thomas figures out that
the girls name is Teresa. When Teresa is in the
coma and Thomas is doing his everyday activities
Teresa starts talking to Thomas. Thomas becomes
very annoyed and runs into the maze, without
permission. Then Teresa says It was you and me,
Tom. We did this to them. To us.. Later in the
story Teresa wakes up from her coma, she is put
in the slammer because Alby believes that Teresa
did this to them. Teresa is one of the main
characters, and she is a protagonist. Teresa is
very dynamic.

Alby
Alby is the overseer of the Glade, he is the
leader. Alby has a bad attitude and thinks he
knows more than everyone else, because he is the
leader. Alby is very rude to Thomas when he first
gets there. Then he starts to become nicer. When
Minho reports that he found a dead Griever, Alby
and him go out to find it the next day. Alby then
gets stung by the griever who is not actually
dead. Thomas has to tie Alby up in the vines when
they get stuck in the maze at night. Alby
successfully gets home and he has to undergo the
changing. The changing works, but he is very odd
after. Alby is a minor character, and he is a
protagonist, Alby is also very dynamic.

Minho
Minho is the keeper of the runners. Thomas is
introduced to Minho when Minho comes back to the
Glade from the maze. Minho says that a Griever
had died in the maze. Alby is is in such shock
that he goes with Minho to see for himself. Alby
then gets stung by the Griever that was not
actually dead, Thomas then sees Minho dragging
Alby back to the homestead, Thomas knows that
they will not make it back in time. Thomas goes
out trying to help them get back. Then they get
locked outside because the doors close, Minho
gets very scared that they get locked outside,
and he starts freaking out. After they get back
from they night outside, Minho nominates Thomas
to become the new keeper of the runners. Everyone
is in shock. Minho is one the main characters,
and he is a protagonist. Minho is also a dynamic
character.

Climax
The climax of the book is when they find that the
maze is actually a code and it continuously
depicts letters, each section has different
letters at different times. Then Thomas and Minho
go out into the Maze to see if anything has
changed. When Minho and Thomas get back from the
maze Teresa and Newt have found many more letters
in maze drawings. At this point of the story
everything changes because of the fact that they
found out that the maps were actually codes.

The falling action is when Thomas shuts down the
Griever hole. Thomas, and Teresa go into the
Griever hole to stop the outbreak. In the
invisible griever hole there is a computer. While
this is happening all of the Gladers are fighting
the grievers. Teresa types the last code to the
computer and shuts down all of the grievers and
everything they know of. Later a group of people

Conflict

• In the book The Maze Runner by James Dasner. We
  believe that this book has quite a lot of Man vs.
  society. Some examples are when Ben gets vanished
  because it is a group of people that make the
  final decision to vanish him. Another conflict is
  man vs. man, we noticed this when Thomas had his
  good amount of fights with Alby. Another conflict
  is when Gally lets all of the Grievers into the
  house. Another conflict is Man vs. Nature, when
  the Grievers attacked Thomas when he got locked
  out of the Glade one night.

Theme and resolution

• We believe that the theme in the Maze Runner is
  Mama says lifes like a box of chocolates, your
  never know what your gonna get. Forrest Gump,
  We feel that this means that you have to always
  be on your toes, you have to expect the worse and
  if you get anything better than that is a good
  thing. A quote from the book is Nice to meet
  ya, shank, the boy said. Welcome to the Glade
  The resolution in the maze runner is when the
  Gladers get saved. A person saves all of the
  Gladers, and brings them to a desert, which
  starts the new book the scorch trials.

This is Forrest Gump

Mood
W

• The mood of the story is dark. During the coarse
  of the book we where not really given any happy
  nice scenes, other when they got saved. Lots of
  people are either killed, die, our badly injured,
  which is very dark. The book sometimes appealed
  to us as scary.
• Passage 1- Someone help me! he screamed
  each word ripped his throat raw. (pg.11)
• This passage is dark because it talks about the
  pain Thomas is going through as soon as he
  arrives in the Glade.
• Passage 2- Bens head snapped back as he was
  jerked forward, the Keepers pushing the pole
  toward the maze outside the Glade. A straggling
  cry erupted from Bens throat, louder than the
  sounds of the closing doors.
• This passage is dark because it talks about Ben
  being eaten by the Grievers. This passage is
  about death and its pretty dark.
• Passage 3- Hes not one of us! Ben Shouted. I
  saw him- hes hes bad. We have to kill him! Let
  me gut him
• This passage is dark, because it deals with
  murder, which is quite dark, if you ask me. It
  also says gut.

This is darkness
