The Maze Runner post 1
The book I've been reading is something everyone has heard of, James Dashner's The Maze Runner. It starts out slowly, and the beginning it is very drug out, but it quickly picks up. It is much like the book Robopocalypse in how the main characters are trying to dodge killing machines and fighting for their lives. Only halfway through the book, The Maze Runner is a very action-packed book and a good page turner. At the part I'm reading, Thomas and two of his friends are stuck in the maze with killing machines called grievers and Thomas sees one in the distance. I predict that Thomas will run away and try to find a way to stop them, or just try and run until morning when the grievers go back into hiding. This book kind of relates to the early stages of the holocaust because Thomas and 23 other boys are put into the maze by other people to try and cure a disease. This is much like what Hitler was trying to do when he segregated the Jews. He thought they were a disease that would spread, but they really weren't. Chuck, Thomas' best friend in the book is like me. He is a bit on the chubby side and can't run. He is also a lot shorter than most of the guys there. I only say the short part because I used to be really short. Thank you for reading.
