Maze Runner!

          The Maze Runner, the first one in the series, is a adventurous book with lots of twists and turns. There is this guy named Thomas, but the thing is that is all he remembers because he memory is completely erased when going to the glade (the place that he arrives at). He ends up making a friend name Chuck and unfortunately a enemy named Gally. Thomas soon discovers that if you work together you could conquer anything.

         Thomas finds this out by many reasons. First, when Thomas ends up becoming a runner, a person that tracks down how much farther the maze could go until the gate protecting them from the greivers closes, him and two of the other boys, Minho and Alby, get trapped in the maze and are forced to stay the night in it. During the night Alby (which is the leader), who originally try to keep them safe gets scratched by a griever while Thomas was trying to get him up over the wall. They try several things to get  the greivers away from Alby like they string him up  to a wall by using the vine that is strung up everywhere, but they find out the had way that greivers could actually climb! But in the end,  Thomas and Minho protect Alby the whole night while ending up killing  a greiver and surviving the hole night in the maze. That is one of the few reasons how Thomas finds out that team work can conquer anything.

        

       Another time when he learns about team work is when they team up to make certain decisions, like who would run what in the glade. For example, someone would be the cook or the butcher. They also make other decisions like where would someone sleep and things like that. For Thomas's part they had to see if he would be capable of being a runner and would he survive, or even what they should do with him after everything starts going crazy, like when the maze's gates don't close when its supposed to and each night one of the grievers takes a boy each night. As you can see the people that live in the glade have to team up to make very seious decisions. This is another reason that Thomas learns about team work.

        Another of the few reasons how Thomas learns about teamwork is when all the runners actually tried to figure out the maze. Before Thomas arrived all they did to figured out the maze was run through to track down how far it goes, but with Thomas they started thinking harder about it like seeing if there were any hidden passages to get out or if there were any signs to show them how to escape because Thomas pushed them harder to trying to find a way home. They all worked hard as a team to try to get  all of them home. They still did the running through the maze to see how long it lasted, but they analyzed the maze harder. That is the last reason how Thomas learned about teamwork! :)

        Thanks guys for reading! I hope you guys go check out The Maze Runner! :)
