In the book “The Maze Runner” by, James Dashner, the setting takes place in the Glade. The Glade is a place that has tall stones covered in moss. The Glade is a maze-like place in the middle of nowhere. Outside of the maze there are grievers that will sting you. Many people were mysteriously sent to the Glade and has adapted to life there.

Rising action is the part of the plot that leads up to the climax. Thomas wakes up in the box and doesn’t know what is happening. Newt explains to Thomas that the large openings into the Maze on

each wall close at night and the walls to the Maze shift during that time.

Teresa was sent to the Glade bringing a message that she would be the last one ever to arrive in the Glade. Teresa says that the end is coming soon, then she falls into a coma.

Despite the horrors of the Maze, Thomas feels a strange feeling to be a Runner.

While inspecting a "dead" Griever, Alby gets stung by a Griever in the Maze, and he and Minho cannot make it back to the Glade in time.

Minho and Thomas survive the night and figure out that the Grievers come from a hole at the edge of the cliff.

After Teresa comes with the note, Thomas gets attacked by Ben causing Ben to be banished from the Glade.

The conflict in The Maze Runner is man vs. society. This is the conflict because Thomas was arguing with everyone in the Glade because he was telling them how to get out of the maze.

Another conflict is man vs. self because Thomas loses his memory in the maze and has to get it back.

A theme is the moral or a lesson of the story. The theme for The Maze Runner is that you should never give up even if the odds are against you. We think this is the theme because even when they thought that the maze was impossible, they still got out. The only reason why they got out was because Thomas never gave up and helped the other Gladers become free.

T

The resolution of The Maze Runner is when the Gladers make their way out of the maze and into the safety of the rescuers who came and took them to their families.
