Master the Maze

In the book The Maze Runner, by James Dashner the theme of survival is very prevalent. Based on a group of boys and one girl, Dashner tells the story of their escape from the maze that they have been placed into. Throughout the book the situation the characters get thrown into gets worse and worse, and the book is really based on how they deal with the problems. It is also about how they pull together to solve them. Dashner makes every character unique, so that everyone fills a role, like one giant working machine. Now certain characters stop this machine they have created from working properly, and it is up to the protagonist Thomas to save them all. With this theme of survival many family aspects are put into play as well, as the boys bond throughout their time in the maze.
