The Impeccable book The Maze Runner Scorch Trials Was written by James Dashner a very intelligent man. He made a bunch of sequels and prequels to this book and they all are very detailed and great.

How would you react if you woke up in a dark box, surrounded by strangers, and you couldn’t remember anything about your life before that moment? James Dashner writes his book, The Maze Runner, about a boy who finds himself in that position and how he reacts and get along with others.

They let the government completely control their lives without hesitation. The Maze Runner by James Dashner also exhibits oppressive environments and individuals who accept these societies. In the Maze Runner, the people in the maze are all trapped in a maze, limiting where they can go and what they can do. Both 1984 and The Maze Runner exhibit the oppressive nature of society and how accepting to be controlled
