The Glade

I decided to read the Maze Runner by James Dashner. This storyline takes place in the future, but the author actually wrote it in the year of 2009. The genre was science fiction. I wanted to read this book because I know many people who has read it and I heard only great reviews. Another reason I wanted to read it was because the movie had just came out and the previews looked amazing. I really wanted to watch the movie but I always read the books first! “Who were the main characters?…

us of our freedom. Both stories show a longing for a world that is not infected with the technology. On page 289 of The Death Cure, Thomas goes back to the glade he once called home. “He was a Runner again and despite everything it felt good.” The previous statement shows that, though Thomas’ life was not perfect when he did live in the glade, he would give anything to have the freedom from WICKED and their technology. On page 1 of The Pedestrian Mr. Mead sees…

Title: The title of the book I read is, “The Maze Runner”. This title correlates to the story very well. “The Maze Runner” is exactly what the title says. It is basically about a bunch of teens trapped in a glade within a giant maze and they are trying to escape. The main character in the story becomes a runner, as his job is to run the maze and map it to hopefully escape. The title is almost describing the main character’s role completely. The title also sparks interest because, as a teen,…

In addition, the characters are perceived with ambition and independence. In The Maze Runner, Thomas is persistent on discovering for valuable information, albeit he may be discouraged by the refusal of answering his questions by the members of the Glade, he continues to…

ball as the lift came up and pushed me on its cold, rusty seats. Getting off the ski lift, I never thought anything was going to happen to me. After getting off I turned hard right onto the wooded glades at the ski area. My poles were clipping the trees I was passing by. I loved skiing though the glades and…

The Meramec River is located in the upper Ozark Highlands in central-eastern Missouri and spans 218 linear miles before discharging into the Mississippi River in St. Louis (Blanc 1999, Thom et al, Figure 1). This watershed is dominated by Oak-Hickory forests and karst topography; and the Meramec River follows a riffle-run pattern of stream flow (Blanc 1999, Thom et al). Before people dominated the landscape, the driving forces of nature shaped the topography and the subsequent ecosystems that…

head to my aunt house to then pick her up since everyone knew Ms. Jane around the area of Belle Glade, Fl. Word of advice if you’re going to someone viewing please have the correct information about the location or you’ll be flummoxed the entire time looking for your destination. So on the funeral details the viewing was to be held at “Antioch Missionary Baptist Church Inc.” and the city of Belle Glade had a ton of those churches nearby each other. My mom took it as the church with what seemed…

Machine vs. Toad In 1970, Joni Mitchell sang, “[t]hey paved paradise to put up a parking lot.” This same idea of industry versus nature can be seen in “The Death of a Toad,” written by Richard Wilbur. Both works convey the message of mankind having no appreciation for the delicate world surrounding them. They share the common theme of man's construction of an empire merely being the destruction of the earth which harbors them. In writing this poem, Wilbur speaks for those who cannot: the earth…

The title of my book is the Maze Runner. It is written by James Dashner. My book is 374 pages long. The genre of my book is science fiction because it has an unrealistic setting that could not be possible with today's technology. It is also not based off of a true story, so it is fiction. I would give this book five stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I even finished it in the first week of me reading it because I liked it so much. I liked the aspect of how the characters are stuck in the…
