Preventing the maze

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.

  1. hey jeremy,
    I have answers to some of your questions. Thomas like all the other Gladers where chosen because the creators thought that they had the potential of saving the world from a disease called the flare (spoiler -_-). His parents where either forced to give him up or gave him directly to wicked. Hope this helps. Plus check your spelling and grammar.
