The Maze Runner #4
In the last section everything changes. The "sun" disappears and the walls don’t close anymore. The boy’s realize they need to find a way out or they will all die. They start to study maps and figure out the secrete of the Maze walls. They spell out words. Thomas realizes he needs to be stung so he can go throw the changing to remember things. He gets stung and remembers important information. He remembers they need to go through the griever hole and type the words which are codes into the computer to find their way out. That is what they do. They fight the Grievers and get out of the Maze. Once they are out they are rescued and brought to a new friendlier environment or so they think.
The Maze Runner #3

They end up deffeting 4 Greaviers and keeping the unconcious, stung body of Alby alive. The Keeper hold a Gathering for Tom because he broke the number one rule. They vote on making him a Runner. He learns about the Maze and the map and how the Runners work. Tom also finds out he can speek telapathicaly to the girl. They are friends and when she wakes up she remembers things that most people forget. She tells them that she triggers the ending and everything changes.
Maze Runner #2
This section of the book really grabbed my attention. One of the characters was banished from the Glade for the attempted murder of Tom. It starts to explain about the Maze and what is going on. It makes the story really intense and wants me to read more. The Glade also gets their last new arrival. The new Greenie was a girl. When she first came out of the box everyone thought she was dead. She then comes alive reveling that she is the last person and that everything is going to change and returns to her unconscious state.

The Maze Runner journal #1
The book I am reading is called The Maze Runner. It starts out with the main character, Thomas, trapped in a dark elevator. He is being sent to what is called the Glade. It is a court yard protected by large walls where a large group of boys live. Thomas’s memory has been erased and all he remembers his name. When he gets to the Glade he is very confused. He meets a new friend and is starting to learn what goes on in the Glade. The outside of the Glade is called the Maze. The kids are supposed to find their way through the maze, but there is one problem. At night things called Grievers come out. They resembled zombies and try to get into the Glade. At night the big walls move and close shut to protect the kids from the Grievers. Each day designated people leave the Glade and run through the Maze. They are called the Maze Runners. The first section of the book was kind of weird and confusing. It is still a good book and is fun to read.

The Sign of the Beaver
I am currently reading a booked titled The Sign of the Beaver. It is writen byElizabeth George Speare. The story begins with a man and a son settling on new land in Maine. They build their house out of logs and get eveything ready to live there. Once the work was done the father left his son in the woods to watch over the cabin and get it ready for winter while he went back to get his mother and sister. The boy faces many different chalanges living alone in the woods and becomes friends with the local indians who teach him how to survive. Would you be able to live in a cabin in the woods by your self for a long period of time? Would you know how to survive?
