3. Most of the story occurs in the Glade. The glade is a giant maze and the Gladers have to try and find the exit. In the middle of the maze there is a safe spot where there is no maze to solve. In the middle there are many buildings. There is the homestead and the blood house. There is also a forest, cemetery and a cliff. The homestead is where some of the Gladers sleep and relax. The blood house is where the animals are slaughtered and prepared for cooking. The forest is where the cemetery is. The map room is a common place for the runners. In the map room the runners can make and study maps. The last place is the cliff, this is where the gladers that misbehave are thrown off. If a Glader misbehaves but doesn’t deserve to die, they will be put in the slammer which is like a jail. http://www.zazzle.com/the_maze_runner_poster- 228045538010576026

20. The Gladers escape the maze and people from WICKED talk to the Gladers about their experience. A WICKED rebel group come in and shoot the people from WICKED and take them on a bus to a safe house. The theme of the story is that, even if people say you can’t do something, with hard work and perseverance, you can do anything. “Let this half-shank be a warning to all: You can’t escape.” pg. 70 Even after Thomas read this quote, he still found a way to escape. http://collectingliquidsunshine.blogspot.com/201 2/07/success.html
