For the 3rd quarter, I decided to read The Maze Runner by James Dashner. In the book, Thomas the main character is sent down from an elevator into the glades. Along with the other teenagers there, Thomas learns to survive in the glades from the Grievers. A day after Thomas's arrival, a girl named Teresa comes up from the elevator, thus being the last one ever. Meaning that no one else would be coming up from the elevator. Once Teresa arrived at the Glades everything starts to change; the sun disappears, the deliveries of supplies stop coming, and the doors into the maze stays open at night. This allowing the Grievers to come and kill each teen one by one. Throughout the book, Thomas tries to find a way out of the glades. He then figures out that maybe the maze movements are actually a code. In an act of desperation to escape, Thomas gets himself stung by a Griever. Thomas then finds out that the Griever hole is actually an exit. Thomas, Teresa, Newt and others decide that they would make a run for it. Knowing that it could be suicide taking on the Grievers, they believe that trying to escape is better than being stuck in the Glades. I believe that 100 years from now people wouldn't be reading this book anymore. This is because more interesting sci-fi books or movies would be out. People would most likely forget about the book because there are so many other interesting books coming out that possibly the book will be forgotten in the next 10 years.
I have read the book, but I haven't seen the movie of the Maze Runner. I agree with you because there will be lots of new stories that will be created and even though this was very popular during it's time, people will forget it soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as well because even though it is pretty big now, a lot of people won’t remember it a hundred years from now. It’s a good book but not all of them still get picked up after that amount of time
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very interesting. I would definitely read this book in 100 years.
