Describe the setting of your Dystopian novel.  Is it similar to anywhere you have visited, viewed, read about, heard about?

The setting of my book           "The Maze Runner" is in a huge maze. There is the living place in the middle of the maze, but on every side of that there is concrete wall. The main character Tomas woke up there from a crate and only remembers his name.
pg 5. ¨They stood in a vast courtyard several times the size of a football field, surrounded by four enormous walls made of gray stone and covered in spots with thick ivy. The walls had to be hundreds of feet high and formed a perfect square around them, each side split in the exact middle by an opening as tall as the walls themselves that, from what Tomas could see, led to passages and long corridors beyond¨

In the Dystopian Elements handout, there are six examples of conflicts the protagonist/main character might got through.  These are not the only conflicts the character might encounter, but just a start.  Identify at least one internal conflict your main character is experiencing.

In my story Tomas feels trapped, he was put into a maze with around fifty other young men. He only remembers his name and wants to know why he is there. He wants to know more about where he is but no one is telling him anything because they don't want him to go crazy.

pg 6 ¨Different emotions battled for dominance in his mind and heart. Confusion. Curiosity. Panic. Fear. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness, like the world had ended for him, had been wiped from his memory and replaced with something awful. He wanted to run and hide from these people¨

What theme topics are you seeing in your novel?  Explain a bit how your protagonist is reacting to these topics.

Some theme topics im seeing in my book so far, is oppression. My character has been put in a maze with people who don't really like him. He feels trapped and confused because the people who brought him there took his memories away. He doesn't remember anything from his past life and it makes him even more confused.

pg 32 ¨But you better decide right quick who you want as your friends and enemies, hear me? One more trick like that-I don't care if it's your sissy idea or not- there'll be blood spilled. You got that newbie?¨ But before Thomas could answer Gally´d already turned to walk away.

What aspects of Dystopian control is being presented in your novel?  How are the characters handling them?  Do any of these aspects of Dystopian Control resemble conditions happening in our world today?

In the book the Maze Runner one thing would be corporate control. The characters don't know who has them in a maze. But they know that they don't like the people who put them there.

pg. 46 Alby didn't bother looking. ¨No questions till the end, shank. How many times I gotta tell ya?¨ He paused, then let out a sigh. ¨Beetle blades- its the Creators watch us.¨

Describe the main character of your story. Include both physical traits and personality characteristics. Do you like/dislike this character? Why? Include one quote from the novel to describe your character.  Include the page number you find the quote on.

My character is very smart and curious. He is average height and lean. He has some muscle but not much. I like the main character because he is very curious and he doesn't care if people don't like him.
My book is in third person and does not give me a clear picture of what Thomas looks like.
