I read your book The Maze Run...Dear James Dashner,<br /> I read your book The Maze Runner and ever since then I have had some questions and comments. Throughout the novel I was amazed by the many times Thomas shows his bravery, but not to impress people, but to stay alive. Do you have a close friend, or family member that shows this level of bravery, that inspired you to make Thomas’s qualities equal to theirs? Also, why did you chose to make some of the gladers stay behind in the homestead? Was it to prove that you should never give up, or were you implying that striving for the best is not always the right option? When reading the book, I noticed that the Gladers believed the maze had no end. How did you decide to have an invisible griever whole, which would bring you into a room with a computer that accessed the door to the exit? Were you pointing out that the answer is not always obvious? Then, once seeing the technology used inside the griever whole, why did you choose to make the exit behind the door a slide? Personally I would have chosen a more advanced transportation device such as a teleporter, or another puzzle that lead to the room you placed after the slide. Why did you decide to make teenage boys the main characters of the novel? Was it to prove that age doesn’t matter especially if teamwork is involved? Also, how did you come up with the griever’s appearance? Did you mix different animals and electronics together to form them? I really enjoyed the book, but will there be a movie? One thing that the book did inspire me with is that even if your friends give up doesn’t mean that you can not try. I learned this from when Thomas runs out of the Glade to help Alby who has been stung by the grievers, and Minho who is helping him get back to the Glade before the doors close. The doors shut and they are stuck out of the Glade. Minho says that their only chance of survival is to leave Alby there and run throughout the night, never stopping because of the grivers. Even though Minho leaves Thomas, Thomas doesn’t give up and he ties Alby to the vines on the walls and hoists him up. When Alby is safe, Thomas then starts to run. Your book has inspired me in many ways, and I wish I read your book the Maze Runner sooner.<br />From,<br />Andrew Joseph<br />Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School<br />7th grade EnglishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-69710094223616510062011-12-26T09:13:55.117-07:002011-12-26T09:13:55.117-07:00First of all, I LOVE your books!

I really liked Teresa and was hoping she and Thomas would be together... :( I have been thinking about something... I think you should write a "parallel" series about Group B's adventures! That would be awesome! :)Reezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386796345148016707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-46326171867173700802011-10-11T16:57:17.033-06:002011-10-11T16:57:17.033-06:00I got the book today!
