REVIEW
the maze runner
"The Maze Runner" by James Dashner is an intriguing dystopian novel set in a mysterious
world. The story follows Thomas, the protagonist, as he wakes up with no memory in a
massive maze populated by other boys. The setting is a maze with shifting walls that present
a constant threat, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere.
Dashner skillfully develops characters like Newt, Minho, and Teresa, each contributing to the
dynamic plot. The narrative develops slowly, maintaining a sense of suspense that
captivates readers. However, the novel's complexity may be a weakness for some readers,
as it requires patience to unravel.
In conclusion, "The Maze Runner" offers a thrilling journey, and while it may be challenging,
its unique narrative makes it a compelling read, recommended for those who enjoy
dystopian mysteries.
SELF ASSESSMENT
This project has been quite interesting to make as it involves reading a book of our choice. In my case, I chose to work through a dystopian novel which I’ve read several times, “The Maze Runner”, due to the mysterious and intriguing plot that keeps me on the edge of my seat from the very start of the novel. The project has been well organized and we’ve had plenty of time to perfect the assignments as well as the final product, the genially. I struggled working on the 10 quotes as it took me considerable time, nevertheless, I managed to complete them all. I firmly believe that this kind of projects are helpful for students, and for that reason I recommend it to future generations.
Thanks!
