The Glade

In the beginning of section two, Thomas, Minho, and an injured Alby are forced to stay overnight in the maze as the doors to the Glade closed. During the night Thomas hung Alby to the walls with the vines, as he would chase away the griever. During the chase Thomas swang vine to vine as he got closer to the ground, but once he reached the ground there was three more grievers waiting for him. As the griever chasing Thomas was gaining ground, Thomas came up with a plan to juke the griever out by…

After being at school for what seemed like forever, I put on my boots and headed to the ski lift as I looked at the snow glow in the cold February sun. As I waited in line, John was grabbing ice balls the size of my hand, then throwing them at my back. Without anything to throw back him, I felt as helpless as an amputee in a war-zone. Even though Jack was next to me checking my ticket, he did not seem to care that someone was throwing ice balls at me. He didn’t even care to look at my lift…

Many famous works of literature draw upon the world’s most famous book for plot devices, character traits, and over-arching motifs. John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost is a complete retelling of the story of Adam and Eve. C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and, more recently, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter both feature Christ-like sacrifices at one point in these series. For centuries, literary writers have toyed with adding Christian themes to their works, even if subtly. Lord of the Flies by…

through sports. These boys in the glade did not rely on money, but their skill and how they performed. They made it by their hard work and their dedication. Theses players earned respect through their performance and that is how it should be. We should not judge where someone comes from, their race, or gender, but by what they are able to bring to the plate.

The other boys are stuck in the Glade and are sent up on an elevator. These two places are completely different. For example, in the Glade the boys are trapped in an area closed off by giant moving walls. In Lord of the flies the boys are free and can roam around. The boys behavior is extremely different in these two books. In The Maze Runner…

weak plot line, lack of symbolism, and awkward pacing. The first downfall of The Maze Runner is the plot line since most of the changes from the book to the movie are simply unnecessary. Teresa, the only girl living in The Glades, is also the last person ever to be sent to The Glades from the underground elevator. Though she is extremely important in the book, the movie portrays Teresa as some pointless character who joins along for no reason. Secondly, Minho, one of the…
