Thematic Essays

The book I am writing about is The Maze Runner  written by James Dashner. I really liked this book because there was always something going on even in the beginning of the book. I read this book pretty fast, within a week, because it was such a good book. The theme that I think is “That There is Always a Way out if you work together.”

I think this is the main theme so I’ll tell you about a part in the book. They are sitting in the glade looking at the map of the maze trying to find out. After them looking at it they discover a code. Then they got the code and it says 6 words, I think.

You think that’s it? well it’s not, I got more. Thomas and Minho are searching and they find grievers so they follow them and discover there way in is there way out. They threw rocks and they come with the conclusion that it’s an invisible way out above a massive cliff and they aren’t so sure about it.

HA! Guess what, there’s more. After they discovered those things they prep for a battle to get out. When they kill all the grievers by typing in a code a exit opened. The way out was a massive slide. Little did they know there’s more for them to do.

“There’s always a way out if you work together.” This was one of my favorite books and there’s three books after this one. I see this theme pretty clear because they get out of a massive maze with killing machines, or monsters, who knows.

The suitcase card reminded me of when I went camping. This summer I went camping at Tri-Ponds. While we were there there was 2 out of 10 days we could go to the pool.

The ground around our campers was super muddy. The mud was like a swamp where your foot sinks half a foot. They have a pond where you can swim and I swam in the chilly water with my friends, they had a raft we could go on.

The American flag card reminds me of when I went to the Mall of America In Minneapolis. Two summers ago I went to minnesota, and when we are there we need to go to the Mall of America. The mall has 4 floors a theater on the 4th floor, a lot of restaurants on the 3rd, and mostly stores on the others. The mall is pretty loud, mostly because there are rides in the middle and there’s a lot of people. My sister say the American girl store, After looking the whole morning, then she wanted to leave, so my brother, Dad, and sister went to the hotel and I stayed and walked around the mall with my mom. We found my uncle and cousin and then we left after looking around.

The ladder card reminds me of when I was on the 50th floor of a building. Two summers ago I went to Minneapolis because my mom’s cousin was getting married. The reception was on the 50th floor of a building in downtown Minneapolis. The view up there was cool it’s like You are seeing a new movie, you could see pretty much everything. Saddly it was foggy out or else we could see more of Minneapolis.

Therefore Everyone Who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man  who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, The streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house: yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

 Matthew 7:24-25.

 

Last year we went to a camp where we picked the theme verse for this year. Our theme this year, “Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as both an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world.

Being an 8th grader means to me that we are leaders and we need to act like leaders. Being and 8th grader may be hard because there prepping us for high school. The little kids are looking at us we need to set a good example. We also may have a lot of fun. It also means we need to write papers like this one.

Being a christian means to me that I need to be friendly to other people. It means that I/we need to be the good examples in the world. I need to favor this school because next year I won’t go to a christian High school:(. I need to pay more attention in church because I could use it in the future.

I’m looking forward to 8th grade this year because it’s my last year. I think we picked a good theme this year, it could be useful.
