Just like the other teenage boys that were put there before him, he has no memory of his past life. Thomas quickly becomes a runner - someone who runs the always changing maze.

Personal Response: SEXY Paragraph 1
Statement - A character I related to was Thomas.
Example - For example, the part when Thomas first arrives in the glade and he sees the giant maze he is instantly curious as to how he got there, who put him there and what was in the maze itself.
Explanation - If it was me I would also be very curious as to what was going on and I would want to find out what was going on even if that means breaking the rules a little bit like Thomas did.
Your Link - I think that this book relates to real life because it shows that people will naturally follow other people if they have a good leader. I believe that this is because most people lack the self of steam to be there own leader so they feel more safe and more comfortable letting someone else take control.
Personal Response: SEXY Paragraph 2
Statement - An important lesson to learn from this book is to not waste your life living in fear, sacrifice your life to live in freedom.
Example - For example, the part after Thomas convinces most of his group to come and fight for there chance of freedom, they all face a terrifying greaver - massive monster - that ends up killing some of them.
Explanation - But they keep on fighting together and they win there right for freedom by destroying the greaver.
Your Link - I think that this book relates to the fighting spirit that humans have in real life.

Personal Response: SEXY Paragraph 1
Statement - A character that I related to was Katniss Everdeen
Example - For example, the part where Katniss volunteers as tribute for her little sister Prim after Prim gets chosen to be in the Hunger games.
