1. By: Louie Forman Maze Runner

2. S Setting • The main setting includes the Maze and the Glade. • The Maze is the purpose they were sent from the “creators” and at the every day the walls from the maze start shifting. • The Glade is the main base that the “Gladers” stay at night, at every wall of the Glade there are walls that lead to the entrance of the Maze. These walls close every night before the monsters of the maze come out.

3. C Characters • Thomas - The main character of the book Maze runner he is the one who grows and changes the most in the book. He is a semi tall boy with skinny but muscular at the same time and has a desire to become a runner. Which is also the protagonist. he is also a main character.

4. C Characters • Gally - the Keeper of the Builders and is the antagonist and also hates Thomas with a passion. He is a boy with very dark features, and Gally is a antagonist. But I would not say he is a main character.

5. C Characters • Chuck – Thomas’s first official friend in the Glade. He is chubby and sort of short, Thomas expected him to be at least 12 or 13 years old and near the end of the story he takes his life to save Thomas. Chuck is a protagonist. He is also one of the main characters.

6. C Characters • Minho – The Keeper of Runners, Asian, tall, muscular, and about 15-16 years old. Minho is a protagonist. Minho is a main character and grows to be very close to Thomas.

7. C Characters • Alby – the leader of the Gladers and highly looked on in the group. He is expected to be at least 16 or 18 years old. His physical description is a African American individual tall, very muscular, and kind of mean but quiet at the same time. Alby is a protagonist, and definently a main character.

8. F Figurative Language • One example of Foreshadowing is, “it was you and me, Tom. We did this to them. To us.” That specific example I found at the end of chapter 28 (50%). • Another example of Foreshadowing in my novel the Maze Runner, is at the end of Chapter 17 when Thomas sees Minho disappear into the depth of the maze.

9. F Figurative Language cont. • An example of a Simile in my novel The Maze Runner, at the end of chapter 16 The booked stated that “the walls slammed shut behind him, the echo of its boom bouncing off the ivy covered stone like mad laughter.” This is an example of a simile because near the end of the sentence the author says the “ivy covered stone like mad laughter” like is describing how the ivy looked on the stone wall.

10. F Figurative Language cont. • One example of Imagery in the novel Maze Runner is the description of Alby ,”A dark skinned boy frowned-the same one who’d welcome him(Alby)…” I found this example in chapter 2(2%). • Another example of Imagery is the description of Minho, A thick heavy muscled Asian kid folded his arms studying him(Minho)… I found this example in chapter 2(2%). • Another example of Imagery is the description of Newt. A tall kid with blonde hair and square jaw… I found this example in chapter 2(2%) • One last example of Imagery is the description of Chuck, “A short pudgy boy fidgeted back and forth on his feet…” I also found this example in chapter 2(2%).

11. F Figurative Language cont. • One example of an Onomatopoeia in my novel is when Thomas see’s the runners for the first time and when they walk into the “map room” the last person in closes the door and the author explained the noise as a “clonk” when the door shut. I found that example in chapter 4(8%). • Another example of an Onomatopoeia is when Thomas sees Ben in the grave yard clacking his teeth at him, the author said it would have sounded like “clack, clack, clack”. At the end of chapter 11 (20%). • One last example of a Onomatopoeia is when Thomas sees the doors close for the fist time and explains, he says that the walls made a loud boom followed by a horrible crunching, grinding sound kind of like a metal on metal scrape. Chapter 4 (8%).

12. F Figurative Language cont. One example of a personification is Time creeps up on you. Another example is, The news took me by surprise. http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-personification.html

13. F Figurative Language cont. • One example of a Metaphor is when Thomas sees a Griever for the first time and says “he felt an icy terror brewing in his heart, expanding like a tumor, making it hard to breathe.” I found this example in chapter 6 (12%).

14. F Figurative Language cont. • One example of an Alliteration Running rabbits raced rapidly through the forest. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Give_you_3_examples_using_alliteration

15. P Plot • Rising Action definition-a related series of incidents in a literary plot that build toward the point of greatest interest. • Part of the Rising Action in the book Maze Runner includes when Ben, Ably and Gally all say that Thomas was included with the creators and their devious plans. When Thomas goes through the changing and figures out that the others were right that he had been part of the making of the maze and he tries to fix his situation throughout the story.

16. P Plot cont. • Definition of Climax: the highest or most intense point in the development or resolution of something • The Climax of the book Maze Runner is near the end when Thomas, Teresa, Chuck, Newt, Minho and about 15 other people made out of the maze. When they got out they were in this metal room with two people walking towards him. When they explained what they were doing the people brought in Gally he had a knife in his hand and threw it at Thomas. But instead of the knife hitting Thomas it landed straight into Chuck’s chest.

17. P Plot cont. • Definition Falling Action: the part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reached and the conflict has been resolved. • The Falling Action of the story Maze Runner is when they got out of the maze and got rescued by the WICKED in the end of the book and get taken to the hotel like place, and then got a nice meal of pizza.

18. C Conflict • One of the major conflicts in the novel Maze Runner was when Thomas got in a talking fight with Gally (man v. man). • The main conflict is that they have to find a way to get out of the maze (man v. society) • One last conflict of the Maze Runner is that the main character Thomas gets stuck outside with the Grievers in the maze for a night with Minho and Alby.

19. T Theme • The theme for this novel is never giving up and determination, I say that because the Gladers were trapped in the maze for two years and never gave up.

20. R Resolution • The Resolution of the story is they get saved from WICKED and go to there new home safe and sound. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDaB44aeaqKpmw7DZLVoWnND-K102RGD3h37E7SsjwGdqzDjUd_Q
