Running

Dashner, James. The Maze Runner.
New York: Delacorte Press, 2009. Print.

Familiar places and faces give our lives meaning. We wake up each day knowing who and what we're going to be surrounded by, and know how to act in that situation.

What if you woke up one day in a completely unfamiliar place, surrounded by people you've never seen before and are expected to earn your place in this new society you didn't ask to belong to? 

Would you be able to adapt? Or would you fail to survive?

"... I liked how he (Thomas) had to start completely over and make new friends... its hard to do that when you've grown up with people sometimes." ~ Samantha, 16











Abstract (thanks to OCLC World Cat): "Sixteen-year-old Thomas wakes up with no memory in the middle of a maze and realizes he must work with the community in which he finds himself if he is to escape."
