IRJE#5 The Fever Code

The Fever Code, a book written by James Dashner, is a sequel to The Kill Order and is about the overall production, format, and past about the maze itself. As you can see, I’m a huge fan of the series. I’ve watched the movies, I’ve read the books, this is the last one before I move onto something different and I’m thinking probably a sequel to the book You by Caroline Kepnes. This book got my attention at the start because it was where Ms. Mcvoy, Dr. Paige, and Mr. Ramirez recruited Thomas and Teresa to help them on a project, THE MAZE.

The cavern had to be at least a few miles square and as tall as a skyscraper. Building materials-wood and steel and stone-were scattered in piles across the floor… A huge wall was under construction, its skeletal frame almost reaching the ceiling… “You’re going to know a lot more, and you’re going to be very, very busy… You’re going to help us build this place.” (p. 68)

For anyone who hasn’t read the books or seen the movies, this quotation wouldn’t have much meaning but I find this quote the main source of guilt and death because in the future books/movies, Thomas gets put in the maze and everyone there, are people that he and others threw in, basically to die. So I like to think about this part as foreshadowing to a devastating end.
