Pages 134 & 135 ~ Thomas is running from the Grievers

# data[].attributes.body
In this scene, Thomas got trapped in the maze at night. No one has ever survived a night in the glade, so Thomas went in there with the mindset that he was not going to survive the night without getting stung by a Griever and dying. The only reason he went in the maze was to find Minho and Alby and save them. Once the Grievers found where Thomas was trying to hide, he came out and started running from them. He turned corners and never stopped. He just kept sprinting. Since the reader knows Thomas's thoughts, we know how much pain he was in and how he was suffering. Thomas felt aches and pains all over his body. He was so close to giving up, when Minho found him. The only reason we now how Thomas felt, was because the story is told through Thomas's eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing from the Maze Runner that I can not relate to is when Thomas was frustrated that no one was telling him the truth. He was paranoid that Alby and Chuck were lying to him about why he was really there. This made him worry that he was in danger or is being put in harms way because no one is telling him the truth.

In this scene Ben attacks Thomas in the graveyard. Ben is the kid that got stung by a Griever and is very sick. When he got stung, he turned into a monster and wasn't in his own mind. He kept saying that Thomas was bad and dangerous. Alby didn't believe him. He thought that Ben was crazy and out of his mind. Ben bit Thomas and he was about to stab him, when Alby killed Ben because he was too out of control. Throughout this scene, we only know what Thomas is thinking. Because of this, the reader doesn't know what was going through Ben's mind when he was targeting Thomas. He might have seen something because he said that Thomas is the one that put all of the boys in the glade. Obviously, Thomas doesn't remember, but he can't help but think if it is true or if he was a bad person before he came to the glade.

An important topic presented in my book is friendship. In the glade, some of the boys have gotten really close when they spent so much time together. This is important because the bonds that they have made, will last a lifetime and they are really meaningful. From this topic, I have learned how important it is to have a good and healthy relationship with your friends.

One thing from the Maze Runner that I can relate to is Newt. He felt a little lost when he came to the glade, but after a few years there, he found himself. Even with no memory, he became a trusting leader that everyone liked. I relate to this because when I first came to my new school, I felt like I didn't fit in and I wasn't ever going to. Over the years, I have made friends and I fit in more, in a good way. This is why I relate to Newt in the Maze Runner.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing in the Maze Runner that I can not relate to is feeling as scared as Thomas was when the girl came up to the glade. We was scared and worried because he knew that she looked familiar but he told Alby and Newt that he didn't know who she was. I have never felt this scared before. Since the reader knows Thomas's thoughts we know exactly the way that he was feeling, and I have never experienced that.

So far, I would give this book a really good review. I like the way that this book is written and it's point of view. I liked how the narrator is not biased or taking the side of any character. I think that the author did a really good job of incorporating the main character's thoughts throughout the book. I really like all of the plot twists in the story and the way that the author portrays the characters by describing them. I would give this book five stars so far.

This book is told in third person limited. The narrator is reliable because they are just saying what they are observing. The reader only knows Thomas's thoughts. Since the story is not told in first person, the narrator is not biased towards a certain character, so they are reliable. I don't think that I can relate to the narrator because it is not a character telling the story. I can relate to some of the things the narrator is saying when they are telling the reader what Thomas is thinking because that is the point of view from an actual character in the story.

In this scene, the gladers find that the box came up for the second time in a month. Everyone is very surprised and confused because this has never happened before. When the box finally came up about 30 minutes later, they found that a girl came up. In the glade, there were only boys until this moment. Since the reader can only hear Thomas's thoughts we know that Thomas is starting remember and he thinks he recognizes the girl but he tells Alby and Newt that he doesn't know her. This confuses the reader because we don't know what to believe about Thomas's thoughts.

In this scene, it is Thomas' second day in the glade. Alby decides to give him a tour and show him all the different things that they do to survive in the glade. He shows him all the different places and opportunities for him to work at when he starts to find a place to fit into. Throughout this process, the reader can only hear Thomas' thoughts and knows everything he's feeling and and thinking. In this scene, we know that Thomas is very scared and confused but he is putting on a brave face and trying to show Alby that he is not intimidated.

One thing from the Maze Runner that I can not relate to is when Thomas woke up and realized he had no memory. Thomas was feeling lost and confused and I can't relate to this because I have never felt this way and I have never gone through an experience, that was as traumatic as what Thomas went through to get to the glade and while he was there.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing from the Maze Runner that I can relate to is feeling out of place in a new environment. I can relate to this because when I first decided to start playing softball, I was the new one to the team. I felt like I didn't belong and that the other girls didn't want me there. This is similar to Thomas because when he first arrived at the glade, he didn't know where he was and he didn't want to be there. He had trouble adjusting to the glade but eventually, he started to feel more accepted.

# data[].attributes.body
The main conflict in the Maze Runner right now is that Thomas is in the glade. The main character, Thomas, woke up in a place he didn't recognize with no memory. He was confused and overwhelmed by all the boys that were surrounding him when he arrived. This is the conflict because Thomas doesn't remember anything and feels like the other boys are keeping things from him. He is scared that he doesn't know the whole truth and feels like he might be in danger or doesn't know things that might harm him later in his time in the glade.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing from the Maze Runner that I can relate to is how Thomas felt when he finally made a friend in the glade. He found someone that was there for him in a place where he was uncomfortable and new to.

In this scene, Thomas and Chuck are laying down and are about to go to sleep. This is Thomas' first night in the glade and he is very curious about all the things that people are not telling him. He feels that people are keeping secrets from him. Since the reader can only hear Thomas' thoughts, we know that Thomas gets a memory for a split second and remembers that he thinks he has been in the maze before. At this point in the story, we know that Thomas is very confused about where he is and how he got there. This is a breakthrough for Thomas because he finally feels like he is starting to remember something and he might get his memory back later in the story.

I think that as I continue reading The Maze Runner, Thomas will get his memory back and save everyone from the glade. I think this because it seems like he is slowly getting it back and he seems like he has a lot of leader qualities. From what the story tells us, obviously, the glade is not a very good or happy place. I predict that Thomas will help the group and think of an idea to save them all and that will lead to the rest of the story. I think that Thomas will be some sort of hero in the end of the book because he is the main character.

In this scene, the main character Thomas wakes up in a strange place with no memory. The only thing that he remembered was his name. He felt that he was in some type of box and when the top opened, he was in some type of field with a group of teenage boys all looking down at him. We learned all of this from Thomas' perspective, and he doesn't know much. Since it is from his point of view, the reader doesn't know much about what is going on in the moment. Especially since he has no memory and is very confused about what is going on in the moment.

I think that the author used this technique to make the reader more comfortable and not overwhelmed when they read the story. I think that without adding the quotation marks, she really makes the reader think and wonder who is talking and leaves them a little curious and wanting more. I think that this technique made the mood of the vignette a little confusing. This is because of the way that it is written and the different small paragraphs throughout the vignette.

In this scene, Peeta confesses his love for Katniss. Since the book is told by Katniss, the reader knows how Katniss feels but we don't know what Peeta's intentions really were. The reader doesn't know if Peeta is actually telling the truth or is just saying this for popularity and to get sponsors for the games. Katniss thinks that Haymitch told Peeta to say this but she thinks it made her look weak and fragile and she didn't like it. Everyone was telling her that it was good and it is something that will benefit her in the games but she didn't believe them and was stuck in her own thoughts and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone in the Hunger Games that I can relate to is Katniss' sister Prim. We are around the same age and we both have protective older sisters. My sister is protective of me and I think that she would have done the same thing for me that Katniss did for Prim by volunteering to take her place in the Hunger Games.

# data[].attributes.body
Something in the Hunger Games that I can not relate to is when Katniss thinks that Peeta betrayed her. I can not relate to this because I have never been betrayed by anyone. Katniss is upset at Peeta but eventually comes to find out that Peeta was doing it to protect her. This has taught me not to judge anyone for their actions when I don't know all of the information or facts about why they are doing it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they author does a very good job of incorporating suspense into the story. Since she wrote the book from Katniss' point of view, the author creates suspense by the reader only being able to know what Katniss does and if she doesn't know something, the reader doesn't either. I like this about the book because it is not boring and it keeps me wanting to read and eager not to put the book down. This is why I think the author did a very good job or writing this book.

# data[].attributes.body
Something in the Hunger Games that I can relate to is the relationship between Katniss and Gale. They have known each other all of their lived because they live in the same place and grew up together. I can relate to this because I have the same relationship with my cousin. We grew up together and she is the best friend that I could ever wish for.

A scene in the Hunger Games that I can not relate to is when Katniss is in the games and she is struggling to find water. I can't relate to this because I have never been in a situation where I was lacking food or water. All my life, I have always been provided these things and have never struggled to be without them or even felt what it's like to not have food or water.

In this scene, Katniss hears Rue calling for help. This happened after they became allies and made a plan for how they were going to take down the career tributes. In the scene, Katniss goes through a list of questions in her head about what could be happening to Rue. Since the story is told from Katniss' point of view, the reader doesn't know what is actually happening to Rue and why she needs help.

The narrator of this book is Katniss. She is the main character of this story and the book is told from her point of view. Since she is the narrator of this book, we only know things that she observes and knows. She is a relatable narrator with how she lives and her thoughts. Although she is relatable, she is not a reliable source. Since the reader only knows her thoughts, she can be bias and only take her own side and not others'.

One scene in the Hunger Games that I can relate to is when Katniss found Peeta and they felt relieved that they found each other. I can relate to this because I have felt this type of relief. On the fourth of July last year, my family and I thought that we lost my baby cousin during the fireworks. Eventually, we found him and we all felt that kind of relief.

In this scene, Katniss finds Rue hiding in a bush and comes to the conclusion that she was following her. Katniss knows that Rue is clever and smart. She also knows that she is small, athletic, and most of all, kind. Katniss thought that it could be very helpful to have an actual friend and ally in the arena. Rue was unsure at first and didn't know if she could trust Katniss. The only reason the reader knows this is because these are things that Katniss observed. Since the story is told from Katniss' point of view, we only know what she knows. Katniss is very clever and she studied Rue's behaviors. The reader doesn't know what Rue really feels but we think that Rue feels what Katniss observed.

# data[].attributes.body
One scene in the Hunger Games that I can relate to is the one where Katniss wants Rue to be her ally and Rue is confused about why Katniss would want to pick her. I can relate to this because I know how it feels to be the person that doesn't think they're good enough. When I first started playing volleyball, I didn't think I was good enough to make the higher team. But, when I tried out, I made the team. This was a surprise to me but it taught me to never think less of myself and to always believe in myself.

I really like this book so far. I am on page 201 and they are in about the fourth or fifth day of the Hunger Games. I really like how the book is told in first person from Katniss' point of view. It adds suspense to the story because we don't know any other information other than what Katniss knows. Because the reader doesn't know anything else, it keeps them wondering about what happens next and how the other characters in the story feel and think.

A scene in the Hunger Games that I can relate to is the one where Katniss was close to giving up and was feeling hopeless. I can relate to this scene because I have felt helpless before. I have wanted to give up in many situations. Because of this, I understand what Katniss was feeling. I was close to giving up many times during school. On hard tests or assignments, I have wanted to give up and not try just because it was a little challenging. From this, I have learned to face my challenges and never give up.

The main conflict of this book is The Hunger Games. This is the main conflict because without this event, there wouldn't be a book. If Katniss never volunteered for Prim to compete in the annual Hunger Games, there would be no point to the story. This is a conflict because it is an event that forces the tributes to fight to the death. No one wants to be in the Hunger Games but Katniss had to take her sisters place because she cares for her so much.

# data[].attributes.body
In this scene, the point of view affects the story. It affects the story because Katniss finds out that there is a wasp nest above her head. She is in a tree that is protecting her from the Career Tributes that are trying to kill her. Since we know Katniss' thoughts, we know what she thinks and her feelings towards certain things. She thinks that the Capitol put the wasp nest there purposely to hurt her so that they are more entertained as they watch the games. Since we only know Katniss' feelings, the reader doesn't know why the Capitol put the nest there and their purpose for it. Because of this, we will never have all of the information unless Katniss learns or knows it.

# data[].attributes.body
In this scene, Katniss overhears Peeta and the career tributes talking and working together. They are working together to kill people and to find Katniss. Since the story is from Katniss' point of view, we know that Katniss is feeling betrayed by Peeta and she thinks that his friendship to her was all a lie. But, we don't know how Peeta is feeling and what his motive for working with the career tributes is. The reader doesn't know if Peeta actually cares about Katniss and wants to help her, or if he wants to find her and kill her. Because we only hear Katniss' thoughts, the reader might think that Peeta is a bad guy now and that he wants to kill her.

# data[].attributes.body
The latest thing that I have read so far is that Peeta is working with the Career Tributes. Because the story is written from Katniss' point of view, the reader might think that Peeta betrayed Katniss because Katniss overheard the Career Tributes talking and saying that Peeta was going to help them find her so that they could kill her because she was their biggest competition. I predict that Peeta is going to turn on them because I believe that he actually cares for Katniss. I think that Peeta wants to get on the side of the Career Tributes in the beginning so that he doesn't die. Then, later in the games, he might find Katniss and they could work together to take on the remaining tributes.

In this scene, Katniss talks about how her father died. I can not relate to this scene because I have never experienced the death of a parent. Because of this, I learned how hard it could be to lose someone that is close to you and provides for your family.

One scene in the Hunger games that I can not relate to is the Reaping. In this event, they chose two people per district, to participate in the annual Hunger Games. I can't relate to this because in the world today, nothing like this is happening. Hopefully nothing like this will ever happen. From this, I learned to cherish what I have because it could all go away in a second.

In this scene, Katniss is very worried about her family back at home when she left. I can relate to this because I worry about my family too. When I left on a softball trip to Wisconsin with my mom, I was worried about not being with my siblings and dad.
