    weaknesses to the script, the script, overall, would benefit from more development. There are several features that are worth discussing. One concern about the script is that because of the ensemble cast, there isn’t a strong protagonist that drives the plot. While it appears that John is the protagonist, he doesn’t have a clear goal, nor does he drive the story. In fact, because of the opening with first Sebastian and then Veronica, it’s a bit challenging to know who the true protagonist really is.

    In The Maze Runner it doesn’t say how they went in the tree fort to look at the whole village. Instead Alby just gives his tour for Thomas. I knew that the book would be a lot more descriptive so it did match my expectations in the book. I like the movie more because it shows how the runners were more tired.

    Microcosm is a community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristic qualities or features of something much larger. In other words, it simply means “small world”. The island in which the story, Lord of The Flies, took place is a perfect example of a Microcosm. The Author, William Golding, does a tremendous job of portraying microcosm by making connections through characters and creating a small island that is a mirror image of today’s adult society. For example

    Noting is one of the main themes that is apparent in “Much Ado About Nothing”. The idea of noting will always have consequences - good or bad. Noting was used by William Shakespeare in the play “Much Ado about Nothing” to produce rising action. Rising action helps with the development of the story, it does this by helping the audience understand what is happening by having ‘issues’ confronted directly, not in the underlying text. Noting occurs all throughout “Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare

    The Last Spin, a short story by Evan Hunter features two characters, Dave and Tigo. In the story, Dave dies in a game of Russian roulette and who is to blame for his death?

The dispute leading towards the game of Russian roulette which ultimately ended Dave’s life was created by Dave and his group entering rival territory and doing damage to their property while being in a truce. Tigo
