How the Maze runner relates to real life
Intro:
The Maze runner is a novel about a dystopian society because the inhabitants are there against their own will. They were placed in the maze by the creators, who survey them constantly. There are things outside the walls waiting to hurt them, and eventually they try to escape. WICKED has total control over Thomas and his friends. When trying to escape they see that the world has been destroyed and is now totally controlled by WICKED. The Maze runner is an example of a totalitarian society and definitely relates to real life.
First of all, the lives of all the inhabitants in the maze are controlled by the government.
Give examples from the novel (WICKED). Give an example of a real life controlling government (i.e. Russia, China, etc.)
Second of all, the Maze runner shows how Thomas and his friends are not allowed to have an individual life
Give examples from the novel (the Maze - they cannot escape; they need each other to escape, have to sacrifice individuals; even when they fall in love, they have to go with the group etc.)
