THE MAZE RUNNER
There are many things I have held close to my heart in the past sixteen years of my life. Amongst family members and friends, I grew up attached to all forms of literature and art. Many of which, I can say now, have impacted me as a human being and have shaped me into the person I have become today. Although to many it has appeared as ridiculous, the maze runner series was one of the few reading experiences that has truly become a part of my heart, brain, and soul. During rough times, I read these three books whilst in search of emotional and mental support—support that I did not expect to find within the pages of a James Dashner novel. But I did nonetheless, and I am more than grateful for this man creating such a beautiful trilogy with equally as beautiful characters.
Of the many, I grew deeply attached to Newt, a character that is known for his unique leadership, authority, compassion, and most significantly, his heartfelt struggle that I recognized within the folds of the pages. I became close to this character and found myself identifying with him as time passed, and I can write fully now that he has truly been a light for me within the past four years of my life and an escape when times became unbearable. He reminds me of myself in many ways and the love I feel for such a character cannot be replicated by another. I could write a novel on how important he is to me, but I cannot express with words how emotionally attached I am to this fictional identity without breaking into tears.
This trilogy is truly unforgettable, and I would like to thank James for bringing this world to life that has affected more than just myself, but plenty of other readers around the world. Watching this trilogy flourish before my eyes in the form of a film was an experience that cannot be matched, and I watched the final movie with tears in my eyes and a swollen heart.
And despite the production of a part of my life coming to an end, I will never forget nor leave behind the plot and the characters that made my world whole. Thank you so much James, and I will forever continue to hold onto your work as I grow older.
