The Scorch Trials : James Dashner

Hey I'm back! This week I will be talking about "The Scorch Trials" by James Dashner. I am about halfway into the book and its interesting but not as intriguing as "The Maze Runner". It had a slow beginning and not much "cool" things happening. Thomas lies to the Cranks which are like people badly infected by 'The Flare' and hopes not to get killed on their way to the safe haven where something is that is beneficial to them all. Won't get into more or i will spoil it.

Apparently WICKED was testing 2 maze groups. one with all boys and one girl and the other all girls with one boy. Meeting with them, Thomas, Newt, Minho and others face challenges and try to get to the safe haven. Teresa is blitz, Thomas is separated from his friends, some girl who is a crank (hasn't fully gone bonkers) is crushing on Thomas, he feels like he is betraying Teresa. Nothing seems to be making sense. The most scariest part- Thomas kills someone. Not saying who or why but he does and feels guilty. A problem though. Thomas can't get through to Teresa telepathically. When he does she makes no sense. Talks like she is crazy. Maybe she is. I don't know... yet... Hopefully they reunite and things go to how they were before.

          That's all y'all get for this week. Stay tuned for more on the scoop for "The Scorch Trials"

Satire

My satire example is of Burlesque because it is talking about how everything now is advanced by technology and the fact that when we try to use something that isn't advanced or one of the things we used before we think about the new advanced versions. This example shows that the student thought there would be icons to press for things to appear like on a computer or smart board but actually it was only a chalk board where they have to write out everything instead of projecting it on the screen.

 







TBH: this is probably not accurate so don't kill me for it.....
