The book the Maze Runner was a fast paced book that was constantly changing. A boy is sent to a field in the center of a maze filled with boys all trying to survive. Everyone is assigned a different job so that everyone is busy and everyone is helping each other in order to survive. The runner assignment is meant to explore the maze around them to find a way out. Nobody knows how they got there. When the main character Thomas becomes a runner, his mind is set on getting out because he is not like everyone else in this book, everyone else just wanted to survive while Thomas wanted to find a way out.
I chose this book because I had seen the movie and wanted to read the book before I saw the second one which was just recently released. Also many times before one of my friend recommended it to me because she read it and loved it. I would definitely recommend this book to you because it was never boring and I always wanted to read it no matter the circumstances.
This book can relate to American culture on many levels. Because everybody in the glade (the field) had different views on how to survive. Some people think they should stay and use their resources to survive and flourish in the small community they have, while others believe that the only way they can survive is to escape the glade and find their way through the maze. This is alike to American culture because nobody agrees on one thing and everybody has their own views on what they think is better for themselves and the country.
