The Maze Runner

           Today in class, I watched a movie called The Maze Runner. It started with a boy named Thomas. He came up in a box elevator thing. He woke up and he didn't know where he was. He was deposited in a community or "Glade," what the boys call themselves. Thomas's memory was erased. He couldn't even remember what had happened before he got there and he couldn't remember his name. Thomas was the "Greenie" when he came in the box. They call the new comers "Greenies" because every time a new person comes, the people from outside of the maze bring food and supplies for the boys in the community. Anyways, the other boys showed Thomas around and taught him the rules and what to do. By night, Thomas remembered his name and he started to settle in. Later, he soon learned that they're all trapped in a maze which will require him to join "the Maze Runners." 

          Everyday before the gate closes, the runners will run around the maze memorizing and remembering the maze trying to find a way out. There are complications and dangers in the maze. There are "Grievers." When someone gets stung by a "Griever," then they will get thrown back into the maze because they are infected and they might not get better. The runners run in the maze to find a shot to escape from the maze. The only thing is that the maze changes every night when the gates are closed. The runners that don't make it back before the gate closes, they don't have a chance of surviving because once they are stuck for the night, they aren't safe. So, they are pretty much dead if they don't make it back through the gates before they close to get back in the community.
