Conflict Resolution

Author's Note: This is a small two paragraph essay about the conflict resolution in the book "The Maze Runner" 
 
In the book "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner Thomas, the main character, wakes up in a metal box with the memory of his past life wiped. He is welcomed into a large, concrete area called the Glade. The Glade is a small secluded area surrounded by massive concrete walls, beyond which lie an enormous maze which nobody has dared to go through. Thomas 

The conflict of this story is Person Vs. Nature because within this story Thomas goes through many situations where he comes close to killing himself from the maze. One situation that really gets me into the story is the first time Thomas tries to escape the Glade . He couldn't believe how big the opening walls were. Another reason is that in the Glade it gets very hot and Thomas has to constantly work to say alive so the heat affects how much he can work within the book. The conflict gets resolved by Thomas making it through the maze and still in one piece after he finishes it.
