How to get out

Author's Note~ This is a conflict resolution piece on the book The Maze Runner written by James Dashner.  I will state the main conflict and how they resolve it.

Thomas, a teenage boy gets sent up to the glade, a big rectangular shaped building with walls and a big maze on the outsides.  At night all the walls in the maze close up and trap them all in.  The next day a girl come up through the lift which has never happened before and has a message.  They know they need to get out of the maze because supplies are going low.  The biggest conflict is that they can't get out and it is really a conflict between person and person because the game makers were in control of the walls and killer robots in the maze.

The resolution to the conflict is lots of teamwork.  They had to overcome a humongous challenge together.  Thomas knew that there was a way out, so as group they studied all the maps for hours and hours.  A group of gladers got out of the glade after hard work and great determination by Thomas.
