Maze Runner is a fantastic and very interesting book that shows the suffering teens have to endure in a dystopian world, where their blood is precious and highly valuable for the survival of the human race against a devastating disease.

Summary

The book begins with a teenager who wakes up in an elevator going up but not going down with him in it, he has absolute no memory other than his name which is Thomas. Once the elevator reaches the top, Thomas is pulled out of the elevator into the Glades by group of boys who have experienced the same situation Thomas is in right now and some still do. Each member of this community have their own nicknames.

Thomas begins to discover the Glades and finds out that it is run by two people Alby and Newt who have applied strict rules which ensure the safety of the people living in the Glades and assign jobs to every person. This is very important due to the fact that outside the glades is the maze where creatures that possess the ability to kill and poison humans lurk at night time, these creatures are called ‘Grievers’ no one in the Glades has ever managed to kill one and no one who has seen one has ever made it out alive. The boys are now forced to try stay alive and solve the maze at the same time, thus forcing them to enter the maze and locate an exit.

A day has gone by since Thomas’ arrival and suddenly another person is sent up by the elevator this time its different. Instead of it being a boy it is a girl. At the time of the arrival many of the boys were surprised some even excited until she started to mumble words and then collapsed into a coma, however the girl’s arrival triggers the sun disappearing, food supplies not arriving anymore and the worst of them all, door being open at night allowing the Grievers to enter and feast on the people.

Whilst everyone is in panic Thomas thinks of an idea, and figures out that the maze is actually code and by using skills he works out the word it spells out. He also discovers that a cliff that was thought to just be a cliff is in fact the place where Grievers originate from so he thought that this could be a possible exit. Whilst everyone is panicking Theresa wakes up and informs Thomas that she knew him before she was sent here.

A day has gone by and Thomas at his own will gets himself stung by a griever so he can find out where this “cliff” is and how to get there. Due to a recent turn of events a large group decide they are better off trying to escape then staying in the glades and make a run for the exit. The group finally escape the maze but suffer a few casualties, upon their exit they find out that they have been experimented on and are part of a much bigger project, the people responsible go by the name WCKD, shocked and curious at the same time,they are even more surprised when a rebel group enter the facility and take the them away.

AMBITION

Ambition is vastly used throughout the book where characters have to risk their own lives to ensure the safety of others.Ambition is portrayed by the actions and wrongdoing of Thomas (the man character), many events in the book start to take a turn for the worse: the maze stays open 24/7 allowing grievers to devour the innocent people living in the glades and food supplies stop being delivered. Even though all this is happening at the same time Thomas goes against the rules of the Glades and through using ambition and the desire to overcome this hell he devises a plan to rescue and escape this place.

The book ends on a cliff-hanger leaving the reader curious on what’s going to happen next. Where Is this ‘Rebel Group’ going to take them? Why are they helping these children?

Pip,Joe and Mr.Wopsle were in a bar, when a stranger suddenly catches Pip’s attention by waving a file towards Pip only. The stranger alerts Pip, he then approaches Pip and Joe and has a conversation with them. He orders some water and rum and takes it down as if it was a shot.He then stops Mr Gargery as he is about to leave and hands him a shilling wrapped in paper to Pip “Stop half a moment Mr.Gargery I think i’ve got a bright new shilling somewhere in my pocket , and if I have have , the boy shall have it” The stranger gave everyone a goodnight and left. Once Pip returned home he.his sister and Joe opened up to see the shilling but were surprised when they saw it was a £2 note. Joe then said it was rightful if they returned it to the original owner, he then returns to the bar to see if the stranger was there, but he wasn’t so he kept the £2 somewhere safe.

It was a disastrous morning, hundreds of people were rushing for the tube, drips of sweat were visible to the human eye. It was 9:00 in the morning, I just got off the Jubilee line and started making my way towards the exit.10:00 was the scheduled time I had to meet him. The air was thick and suffocating. As i was making my way toward the rendezvous point, i made a huge awareness of the weather at the time being,it was a warm sunny morning in London, the traffic was busy and there were loads of people.I checked the bag to see if the item was still there. I took a deep look at my watch sweating at the same time. 9:25 wrote the digital watch behind the plastic screen.

35 minutes till I had to meet the buyer. Thinking to myself why I had chosen this life and why instead of doing this I wasn’t at home looking after my wife. 10:00 the alarm on my phone was beeping “Beep, Beep, Beep” I ran as fast as i could to the rendezvous point. I was late.I looked up and saw three men with cigars staring me down. “Where’s the package” asked one of the men “Here” said I. as i approached the man to hand the PACKAGE the atmosphere was damp and the conditions were high i was nervous but the men seemed to be relaxed. “What’s going on here?” i thought to myself.

Both sources use the same headline to discuss Chelsea football club’s manager Jose Mourinho’s situation as to whether or not he will get sacked. The telegraph talks about how Jose Mourinho is to be given his final chance by Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich to improve the clubs current situation and hopeful move out of the relegation zone and to the top half of the table.The article also talks about how the manager is required to improve Chelsea poor run of six games lost. On the other hand the Guardian source discusses the fact that Jose Mourinho is 100% backed by the board but needs to improve, this articles points differ from the other article as Jose Mourinho is backed by the board but on the Guardian he is only given one more chance.

In an other article, due to a 1 game stadium ban Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is banned to travel with the 1st team and to be in the same stadium during the game against Stoke. After the match Chelsea lost 1-0 against Stoke city where once again many Chelsea fans were angered with Jose Mourinho and his teams poor run of form. This is similar in the telegraph where it also talks about how Jose Mourinho has had enough and it is either time for him to leave the club or get the sacking.

Clearly through the way the article has been structured in the Guardian you can tell that the editor doesn’t like Jose Mourinho and doesn’t like Chelsea football club. The editor is tying to make the reader informed about the current situation in the BPL.
