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.

  1. Good Job Jeremy. I also read this book and found it very interesting to find a theme. When you said that the climax should be sooner i disagreed because the rising action is the most epic part after the climax and it's what makes everything suspenseful. Good Job!
