Thomas is full of questions as The Maze Runner is the story of a boy named Thomas whose world was turned upside down when he awoke inside the glade. The glade is a small community of teenage boys in the center of what seems to be an impossible maze. Thomas is full of questions as he tries to figure out what is happening to him and the other boys of the glade, until he experiences the horror of the maze first hand. The author, James Dashner, covers an array of topics ranging from the fear of the unknown to the fragility of society. They are artfully crafted in the way he shows the characters emotions and actions throughout the book.

I believe that one of the authors purposes for writing this book is to explain the fear of the unknown. James Dashner shows how the gladers react to the maze by showing their absolute fear of it. The gladers even say "Our number one rule, do not go outside the glade." The fear of the unknown is always a part of human culture. We as people are usually scared to try new things or new experiences. But only if we search for new things can we expand and continue our search for knowledge and wisdom. I feel that Dashner feels the same way. He makes his characters venture out into the unknown to try and obtain knowledge and learn of their surroundings. The way that he writes this clearly shows his opinion on the topic.

The style that this book is written in helps the reader feel like they are in the glade with Thomas. The reader is left with all the same questions Thomas is thinking about and the crave the answers all the same. When Thomas first arrives in the glade he is desperately trying to find answers. James Dashner is perfect in making the reader take the same journey Thomas is on and following the path that he sets before him.

I personally really liked this book. The story was amazing and the way it was written full of suspense and danger really draws the reader into the book. I would definitely recommend this book to other people and I would hope that they would enjoy it as much as I did. ...more "
