We learn how to read and write from books, we practice skills and teach ourselves from books. Not a year in my education has gone by without a book or several being part of the curriculum. In ninth grade I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The novel changed my view of the importance and need for books, because it showed the horror and devastation of a world without them.
Unbroken reminds me of The Maze Runner because both main protagonists need to have perseverance and accomplishing a certain task against all odds. In The Maze Runner, the protagonist, Thomas, gets stuck inside the maze and has to survive all night against the grievers, similar to how Louie has to survive for weeks in the ocean against the sharks. Both characters are believed to be dead due to the seemingly impossible task of survival. Thomas has to find a way to the end of the maze to escape, while Louie needs to find land to have any hope of survival. Another book similar to Unbroken is the book Night by Elie Wiesel.
Books can create alot of meaning and lets us create our own imagination. The can change our perspective on things and makes us act on what we read. In the movie “ Fahrenheit 451” We see that Montag read books to his wife and her friends. The book he read made them cry and leave knowing that they didnt like it.
"Just follow me like your life depends on it. Because it does. "(Dashner 361) In where a boy named Thomas finds himself in a maze with several other boys and no memory of how he got there or his past.

My favorite author was the writer for Goosebumps when I was 4 years old and we read many books from the Goosebumps series. I also developed an interest in chapter books. I was in the second grade when my mom and dad would read to me these books. We read together the Hobbit, Phantom Tollbooth, and Percy Jackson series. I also read some current events on my own in school.
Solving the maze was meant to be the end. Thomas knew that after completing the maze, him and the Gladers were going to get their lives back. But, the maze was only the beginning. The suns flares burning and blazing, most of the earth, a wasteland. People known as Cranks driven into a cannibalised insanity by an infectious disease known as the flare, as the roam the crumbling city hunting.
Running the Maze Imagine being trapped inside of a place with no memory of how you got there and the only way to get out was through a maze. James Dashner’s young adult, science fiction novel, The Maze Runner is about just that. There were a brunch of themes in the novel but the most important ones were maintaining rules and orders, making sacrifices, never giving up, and manipulation, even though something may look simple it might be harder than it seems. All these themes were practiced by Thomas and other Gladers in the Glade. Dashner also wrote the sequels to the Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials and Death Cure.
As I now have a few weeks analyzing the concept of political theory, my ideas have been challenged, and my opinions have been altered. As I gain a better understanding of past governments, I'm able to gather more educated based opinions that are benefiting me in many aspects of life. I notice myself paying more attention to current news, and relating this information to past events during Western Civilization. In this essay I intend to address some newly introduced philosophers, along with some ideas brought up in class discussions. Montesquieu mainly discusses ideas regarding a republic and establishes the concept of having separation between powers by branches.
Better Reading claims that there are four main reasons why children favor reading book series: familiarity, accomplishment, reading momentum, and collectability. Many are overwhelmed when they have to choose a new book to read; however, if all the young readers have to do is pick the next one in the series, they will feel more at ease. Furthermore, children feel accomplished after completing many novels because they are capable of reading more after developing literacy skills. “A Series of Unfortunate Events” is a very popular series, and these four justifications make it much more enjoyable. Linda Bindner from Library Journal compliments Lemony Snicket by saying that his “energetic blend of humor, dramatic irony, and literary flair makes it all perfectly believable.
Before I read The Maze Runner, I was lost in a world of boring novels and had a hatred towards reading. Many of the genres lacked so much of my interest, and I was ready to give up reading novels. But, I decided to try and read one last time. Let me tell you, The Maze Runner opened up a whole new world of reading!
People love a good action-mystery novel especially if it a trilogy as this with two more books
For as long as I can remember I have loved reading. Fiction, non-fiction, biographies, it doesn’t really matter to me. I remember my mom trying to teach me how to read when I was three. I started off reading small Dr. Suess books and then it was on to newspapers and chapter books. One of my all-time favorite books when I was a kid was Junie B. Jones.
Books I think are powerful. Books contain so much more than just the story it 's a mindset, and by reading different books, I feel we can be alike in some ways but completely different from others. We will always have likes and dislikes, but once we start to read a book I think we can go in with an open mind set and when we finish, or if we don 't we have are own opinion. A different mindset from everybody else, and that 's extraordinary. That should say something to people and I don’t understand how some people don’t see
