In the book "the maze runner" by James dashner there are a lot of different things that happen throughout the book. Which I think is pretty cool but the protagonist is being prevented somehow because I think that the problem with that is the trust that he has with the people around him. I dont know but another thing the conflict is not really internal. Its more of an external because he is in a maze with monsters.He is not trying to fight his emotions, he is trying to fight everything else. I mean if I was in a maze trying to kill me I would not try to fight what I feel inside.
In the maze runner he is trying to fight all of these things around, evil and just weird looking things but the protagonist is very important. The protagonist and the resolution have to connect, but in this book they don't really connect that early because there is a problem which is that he does not reallly trust the people around him. If I was thomas I would have the same problem because I do not know these people very well what happens if they are just a crazy nut case that will kill me. Another thing is that what happens if the people that you trust for the entire time that you are trying to get out of this place, but when you get out they kill you for some odd reason. But I don't know what happens if we become like best friends or something and everybody is dead. Then we would be the only ones left fighting for our lives. Who would know if we even live throughout the maze.
Another thing about the book is that the conflict really is not internally because look around thomas, he is in a deadly maze fighting for his life. If that were me I would not be trying to hide my feelings I would be trying to figure out a way to get out of this maze. Another thing I would be thinking about is how did I get there in the first place and are myparents alive or even looking for me. Why would I be trying to hide my feelings. One thing that I would try to do is figure where all of these people around me came from and try to form a team, so we can atleast try to get out of the maze. One other thing I want to know is where are his parents were they kidnapped or something because we have not heard from them yet at all.
Right now the question that I only have is where are his parents? another thing why him, is there a reason why he was ppicked because I would not want to get picked for something that is as scary as this. Why is this even happening because I think that this cruel because why would kids even be in this. I think if anybody is going to be in it, it would atleast be a adult that was able to handle this pressure that thomas has.
In conclusion I think that the protagonist nd the resolution are not yet connected. Also thomas needs to connect with other people. Why is this happening and what will stop this. If you like this blog then comment, but if you dont know what im saying then read the maze runner.

the theme of the maze
In the book Maze runner by james dashner the theme was kind of hard to find. At first i thought that the theme was to always stick by your friend in battle. But i was wrong, the theme of the story is hat you need to make friends with the people and around you and make sure they like youi back or they may turn on you. But there is something I would change in the book and that would be knid of the climax. I chose the climax because it kind of takes a long time for him to figure out that he needs friends. Right now I am up to the 3rd part of the book which is near the end. But I have absorbed the climax already.
The theme of the story is that you need to make friend so you are able to kill the enemies. What I have heard so far in the book is that you will need a lot of friends in order to beat up all of the eneimes, even the weird looking ones. But if were the main character thomas I would try to find other people right away because I do not know anything about this place what if it is dangerous or not. Another thing I might ask would be where this place is and get more infomation on this place like what kinds of things are in this place or what will happen if I get out of this maze. Another thing I forgot to mention is that what happens if you encounter one of these enemies. What a person needs is advice from people who have been there a long time.
Something I would change in the story is where the climax should be because the climax was kind of late in the book for him. I think that he needed to realize what the theme or his problem sooner because when you read the book and get to the middle of the book you can practically tell what the theme of the story is. Even I had figured out what the theme of the story was by the time thomas was hiding from a terrible monster. At that point I realized that he needed some bakup if he wanted to make it out of the maze with all of his limbs and still be alive.
One that I think aoutthe book so far is that is interresting. But sometimes it has its moments when the book dives down and shows no action at all. Another thing about this book is that I want to hear from thomas's parents because I want to know what happened. Did they sell him to make some money for the rest of his family or was he kdnapped or he could have actually volunteered and he may not even remember what he did? Another thing I want to know is does anybody even kniow that he is gone and are his parents even looking for him or they justr wanted to get rid of him.
In conclusion to my maze runner responce I just want to say that we need to hear from thomas's parents and we need tio know what had happened before the maze. If I can change one thing in the book it would be that and that the climax should be sooner in the book. We should know the climax when thomas knows how to fix his problem not before that.

thomas's change
In the "maze runner" by james dashner the protagonist of the story is internal to the main character thomas. He changes internally. Even though i'm up to the middle of the book I can see the change that is happening to thomas. I can also relate to thomas because we both think why are we here, what is our is purpose. the protagonist can relate to me beacause of what we both think. he changes what he thinks of himself throughout the book.
The protagonist of the story is that he changes internally throughout in the book. What he changes is that he thinks about why is he in this maze, is there a purpose for me. What he thinks is normal for anybody because sometimes people may think what are they doing and what is their purpose in life and another thing is what will this all lead up to. Sometimes people may think what is the purpose of but what I would say is that we all have some kind of purpose it is whether is saving lifes in a hospital or protecting people as cop. Another thing is that he thinks about does his parents beacuse he wonders if they miss him or don't. I wonder about that because they only mention them in the book but never introduce them into the maze or the book. But i think that they need to introduce them or hear about how they feel about thomas.
I can relate to thomas because I to think that what is our purpose. Why does anything matter in life and what will we do in the future. Also what happens if we don't do what we want and our life would just be meaning less. What happens if we do not do what we want to do in life, what would happen to the way we feel about ourselves. Another thing that kind of relates us is what other people think of us, do they hate us? That is why we can relate and i think other people think the same way.
I think so far in the book is that the protagonist and the relating between us was kind of easy to spot because it shows what he thinks about right near the climax. Another thing is that the relationship between me and the main character can be for anybody because I think eveyrbody thinks about what they were put on this earth for. Also they can think why am I here in this certain place like a hospital or something. Another thing I think is that we all need to find that out for ourselves which is find our own purpose. Another thing I think is that the revolution of the story is that he is going to reunite with his parents and they are going to not care because they probably never knew he was gone or they put him in the maze themselves. Who would not know where theresun is and not try somewhere dangerous to look for him.
In conclusion I think that the protagonist fo the story is easy to find and we can relate. Another thing I think about is if his parents were killed while he was in the maze. What will happen to him if that happens, will he come after the people who did that. the maze may the purpose of his life. Willhe stay there forever. All i can do is read on.

Am I blue
In the story "am i blue" by Bruce coviolle it was kind of to find the theme. You really had to think in order to find it. The protagonist of the story was that he had changed his thoughts throughout the book. He also was bullied throughout the story. But then he started to see things in dark blue all around him, he even saw people that were blue. But he needed to expect who he was. Also what happened was that he just saw blue he did not mean that everybody around him was gay.
The theme of the story was that he needed to overcome his fears of being himself. He did overcome it, but that was after he started to agree with himself. then everything changed after he started to see every thing in blue, which does not mean that everybody was like him. That is why he overcame it, because he was able to become himself. A thing that sometimes people can not do because people want to show that they are amazing but in some way everybody has a flaw. They try to hide who they really are but sometimes it comes out. The connection between the story and real life is people sometimes like to hide who they really are but it is hard to hide they way you feel. Also people like to find out secrets about other people but they know that they themselves have flaws.
The protagonist of the story was that he changed throughout the book but mentally like his thoughts. The way he changed was mentally because he changed the way he felt about himself, which who he is. The theme and the protagonist are connected in a way because they both kind of talk about him changing mentally. He did not change physically beacuase he still got bullied in school. they still called him gay. But he changedright after he started to see evry thing in blue.
I conclude that the theme of the story is very important. Also the protagonist is also very important too because it shows that he had changed during the book. He became for self confident about himself after he found out he can see stuff in blue. vince overcame everything so he can be more self liking.
