you think Thomas isn’t the most important or interesting character in the Maze Runner, you must be crazy. Thomas is clearly different from the others Gladers in the beginning, however we learn about this later in the book. In this chapter I will cover interesting things about Thomas.

The science book I read is The Maze Runner, by James Dashner. This is a science fiction book with interesting ideas for science readers. The story starts with a teen boy arrives at a grassy area by a type of elevator. He sees a large group of boys. The main leader is Alby.

The authors use the foundations of community, persistence and individual development, civilized behavior versus

Although bravery is the main idea, it isn’t necessarily the theme of the novel. The theme of the novel is that you have to be brave to accomplish your goals.
