The Maze Runner Quote Analysis

Decent Essays
The theme of The Maze Runner is It is always better to work together than fight over the decisions that should be made and stay individual. And that represents the character Thomas because hes the one who started all the changes including the teamwork. One example the song above represents the theme is because it says "It's hard to fit in, When you're on the outside, Feels like someone's getting to my head, Was it somethin' I did, or just somethin' I said?" The quote above also gave a good example of how in the Glade the creators had control of their heads. for example, the Gladers not having any memories.

    2. I believe that the Dominant colour of this character would have been gold as it is greatly emphasized in the following quote; “I come to school an hour before everyone else And do my homework”. The aforementioned quote signifies how Rickie Miller strives to become on top, even through the very strenuous complications he faces in his everyday life. I believe that Rickie Miller shows that he represents the gold colour as he follows the rules and respects authority, he is also loyal, dependable, punctual, capable of making sensible choices (right form wrong), and is also very organized which implies that I am capable of living a comfortable lifestyle as I put priorities first and entertainment last.…

    Although the novel “Slaughterhouse-Five” by Kurt Vonnegut is an anti-war book, I believe time was more importantly presented within the book rather than warfare. It is easy to feel this way seeing as that the theme dominates every chapter of this “jumbled” book. Vonnegut develops this theme throughout the book by telling events throughout Billy Pilgrim’s life. Let's just say, for a mild mannered, scrawny man, he's able to get around. Events in the novel aren't presented directly, but instead different times of Billy’s experiences during his life are shown at different times.…
