Briefly outline 10 plot points.
1. Thomas spends the day in the Slammer -the Glade's jail- for breaking the biggest rule the Glade has (Do not go into the maze at night). Newt locks Thomas inside and stresses that Thomas is all right in his book but that he needs to learn order. Chuck comes to visit Thomas. Chuck opens up to Thomas and admits to crying every day. When Thomas hears this, he is overcome with anger. He thinks Chuck belongs home, not here in the Glade. Thomas begins to hate whomever is responsible for their plight. He promises Chuck that he will get them out of the Glade and find Chuck's real parents and family. "I swear I'll get you back home," he says. As the doors

Thomas and all the runners still go out running into the maze since its more important now because if there is no more sun the plants and animals will not survive for long. They encounter a Griever before long. When Minho takes a second look at it, he sees that the Griever has gone. They take off after it. They follow the Griever finally coming to the end at the Cliff. The Griever goes over edge and disappears from sight. Three times they have seen Grievers go over the Cliff edge. It seems that this is how the Grievers leave the Maze. Thomas believes that if the Grievers can leave like this, so can the Gladers. Minho suggests they test this and throw rocks off the cliff and only in a certain spot – a couple square feet- is a disappearing spot as apposed to falling into grey like everywhere else. Thomas and Minho head back straight for the map room, and gather maps and head to Alby and Newt. Newt and Alby look concerned and say “The supplies didn't come up through the Box today as expected.” Minho explains what he and Thomas found. They wonder if there is some way to block the 'Griever Hole'. Chuck then runs over to tell them that Teresa is awake. She tells him to come get her before she forgets everything she has recalled so far. She says "The Maze is a code, Tom. the Maze is a …show more content…

Anyone as brave as Thomas does not sit back and relax to watch one of his injured friends from being trapped outside as it is about to hit night time. An injured person outside of their safe haven almost equals imminent death. Thomas instinctively ran to his injured comrade in order to save him, to only find out that he himself is also trapped outside of the Glades. "For several seconds, Thomas felt like the world had frozen in place. A thick silence followed the thunderous rumble of the Door closing, and a ...

This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.

The novel The Maze Runner by James Dashner begins with a teenage boy waking up in an elevator who has no memory of the past, only that his name is Thomas. When the doors of the elevator open up he is pulled into a humongous square surrounding, called the Glade, by a group of teenage boys. The boys in the Glade refer to themselves as the ‘Gladers’. Thomas learns that the Gladers have lived in there for two years and that the Glade is located in the center of a maze which contains a labyrinth of high walls that move during the night and deadly creatures called grievers. The Glade is led by two boys, Alby and Newt; they both maintain order in the Glade by enforcing strict rules and jobs that keep the Gladers busy. A day after Thomas’ arrival an unknown girl arrives in the Glade. This shocks everyone because the Gladers only receive a new person every month, never within the same week. This also shocks everyone because she was the only girl in a maze full of boys. The girl also gives a message that everything is going to change and that she is the last one ever. Right after her message she immediately falls into a coma. The arrival of the girl causes many things to go chaotic including the sun seizing to rise, the Gladers stop receiving supplies from the creators of the maze, and the doors of the Glade that protect the Gladers from the grievers at night stop closing. When the girl, Teresa wakes up she informs Thomas that they both knew each other in the past and that the maze was a code. Thomas and the people who run around the maze to map out the labyrinth, the runners, look through the archives of the maps and find out the code. Then the leader of the runners, Minho, figures out that the cliff they thought was just a cliff was actua...
