Mood Music

http://www.classicalconnect.com/music/4875
   
     This is the music i picked to represent my book. The song is called "Big Elegy to John Cage". It is composed by Sergy Akhunov. This composition is made up of three different instruments. The instruments in this song are a violin, cello, and fortepiano. It is mix a different expressions. It starts off slow then the pace fastens. That is what it is like in my book. The suspense increases then it dies down. This happens often and frequent.

    I chose this song because it also represents the main character, Thomas. Ever since he has got to the Glade his has had many mixed emotions. He is still confused after all he has learned and still has more to learn. Not to mention he's scared, sometimes angry, sad, and others that probably don't show. This songs sounds like all those emotions mixed together. In someway this is like Thomas' theme song while he's here. The song sounds somewhat happy, while sounding sad, angry, and it gives you suspense.

Welcome to Maze Runner!

This is the book cover of Maze Runner.


This is the author of my book. His name is James Dashner.

The setting of my book takes place in a giant maze.

This book is a mystery story so it keeps you wondering.


The main character Thomas lost his memory, just like everyone.

Thomas has already made one enemy, even though he has never met Gally, he insists that he has seen Thomas somewhere.

Thomas has also only made one friend.

The Glade has everything they need for survival, such as food, water, clothes, electricity, ect.



The Glade has a farm for animals.


The Glade has a forest.


Inside the forest is where they keep the graveyard.


Inside the maze, at night a creature comes out called a Griever.


The people that sent the boys to the Glade watch them with little mechanical machines with glowing red eyes. It looks like a silver lizard with six legs.



They have people from the Glade called Runners. They run the maze everyday to try to find a way out.


Everyday when they get back they immediately go inside to make a map of where they ran before they forget eveything.

The Glade is a maze, but the walls are tall.


The doors that let you into the maze are also big. Everynight after the runners come back the slide closed.


There are still many things that people wont tell Thomas. He thinks that they are keeping secrets from him and he wants to figure them out.



He is still trying to figure out what the words and phrases they use mean.


Throughout the story Thomas is slowly getting his memory back but he is starting to feel comfortable at the Glade. Its like he belongs there.
