The Maze Runner By James Dashner
Prompt: Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?
Pages Read: 63-end


The Maze Runner is the story of Thomas and how he manages to survive the maze. Thomas wakes up one day in a box with no memory. He has no memory of his past, why he is there and who he actually is. All he can remember is his name. When people come and take him out of the box he begins to be disturbed and pushed around. When Alby (leader) shows Thomas
around he tells him about all the jobs there are, the different places, and the maze. Alby tells him about being a Runner and suddenly curiosity takes over Thomas and he has the urge to become a Runner... and that 's how it all began.


          The title fits the story perfectly. Once Thomas arrives and learns about the Glade(setting) and the maze he has the urge to become a Runner. A Runner is a person who enters the maze to try to find an exit. One of the rules of the Glade is to not enter the maze if you are not a runner. Thomas broke the rule just to save the lives of Alby and Minho(Keeper). After that he spent the whole night in the maze and survived. No one had every survived a whole night there and Thomas proved them wrong. After saving the lives of Alby and Minho he got elected as a runner.


          Thomas got elected as a Runner. A Runner is a person who runs in the maze. Maze Runner fits the story perfectly. The Maze Runner is a really good book to read. The story is in third person point of view. It is a really interesting book to read. Once you began to read it, it catches your interest really fast. I would also recommend reading the movie.
