Reflection Paragraph on Process

I felt exicted while doing my research becasue i though doing a book as my topic would be easy but i was wrong. The easy thing that I had to do for my project was making the Animoto, making the Wordle and doing the photo captions and citations. The hard parts in my opinion about this this project was using easybib becasue i was doing my quotes wrong and it was hard for me to do it. Finding a graph, chart and map was hard because you can really find a map or chart on a book. overall i enjoyed this project and if i had to do this project again the topic i would choose would probably be something much more easier than my first 2 topic.

Reflection Paragraph on sources

While do my reseach project I used the follwing websites Google, Bing, Wikipedia, Dashner Dudes, Blogger, and James Dshner own website. These website were helpful in there own way they answer the questions I needed to be answered they gave vivid details about my topic and I also learned things about my topic that I never knew and would have nerver though of. Out of all 6 websites i would have to say Google and James Dashner's website were the most Trustworthy and gave me the most details about my topic Google gave me the most info because I got most of my info from Google and it was my #1 website to reseach my topic. The other wedsites like Wikipedia and Bing were good but I only used Bing once and Wikipedia was good for my basic information but it not really reliable cause anyone can edit it and can give me false info.

Reflection Paragraph an Findings

Doing my reasearch I found lot's infromation and some  of them answered my 5 questions such as what inspired James to  write The Maze Runner. I found it interesting cause James said his two favorite books he loved reading when he was little  Lord of the Flies  &  Ender's Game inspired his to write his own version thus The Maze Runner was published. Other things I found out was that there were  4 books in the whole trilogy The Kill Order , The Maze Runner , The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure. I also found out  that James is making a movie version of The Maze Runner coming in 2013 although the film was produced in January of 2011 but as of April 28,2012 the film has not yet been green- lighted therefore the movie will be delayed. I also found out the James has published other books besides The Maze Runner Trilogy he published 5 other novels  making a total of 9 novels altogether. Iv'e found out a lot about James and The Maze Runner I found out stuff that I didn't know about The Maze Runner but I had fun reasearching facts about my topic.

Finding Paragraph # 3

While doing my reaseach I found answers to 1 of my question. How did Thomas and the of Gladers get send to the Glade. The answer I found was that James had wrote a prequel to The Maze Runner called the Kill Order and in The Kill Order it explains how Thomas and the other Gladers get send to the Glade.

I also found another answer to my question . Who is WICKED in the book. WICKED is and organization in the book that tests the kinds to weed them out to  see who's the strongest and who's the weakest its like survival of the fittest

Finding Paragraph # 2

On my reseach I found a few answers to my finding paragraph such as how did Thomas and the other Gladers escape from the Maze. Thomas and the Gladers made a plan to make there way through the Maze with homemade spears, Knives, Bow & Arrows etc so they could protect themselfs from the deadly griever so they made a plan for all the Gladers to go to war against the grievers. 

Also when I was doing my research I found a answer to another on of my questions. My question was why was Teresa the only girl in the Glade. the answer was the box in the Glade only send boys but Teresa was the first girl to be send there but she was Comatose when she arrived

Finding Paragraph # 1

I found lot's of answers that answered some of my questions. I found the answer to what inspired James to The Maze Runner his reply was  the story came pouring in one night when he was trying to go to bed, and the inspiration came from two books that he had read and loved when he was younger Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. He loved the books so much that he wanted to write his version therefore  The Maze Runner was published

Quote Paraphrase Citation # 5

"My name is Thomas, he thought

That...that was the only thing he could remember about his life....he didn't know where he came from, or how he'd gotten inside the dark lift, or who his parents were. He didn't even know his last name."

This was the opening of The Maze Runner Thomas doesn't remember anything and has no recollection of any but his name.

Quote Paraphrase and Citation # 4

She smiled for the first time, and he almost had to look away, as if something that nice didn’t belong in such a glum and gray place, as if he had no right to look at her expression.”

This was when Teresa first met Thomas and Thomas was nervous and scared to look at her because he though she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen

Quote Paraphrase and Citation # 3

"A loud boom exploded the air, making Thomas jump. It was followed by a horrible crunching, grinding sound. He stumbled backward, fell to the ground. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it for himself. The enormous stone wall to the right of them seemed to defy every known law of physics as it slid along the ground, throwing sparks and dust as it moved, rock against rock. The crunching sound rattled his bones. He looked around at the other openings. On all four sides of the Glade, the right walls were moving toward the left, closing the gap of the Doors.
Then one final boom rumbled across the Glade as all four Doors sealed shut for the night.”
This was when Thomas got locked in the Glade overnight as he watched the doors that entered the Maze close
