Maze Runner Book #2 THEME: $wealth imbalance$


In the scorch trials (the second book in the maze runner trilogy) a boy named Thomas along with a group of kids known as the galders are put into the middle of earth some time n the future, except earth is a barren wasteland. Earth has been destroyed from hectic and unpredictable sun flares and most of the survivors are sick with a fatal disease called he flare.  Only the very rich and powerful can afford medication and, everyone else is outcast and left to die. I believe this is a symbolism of how imbalanced the wealth is in the world; only 1% of the population can afford meds.
         A great realization I once had was about water parks. You know, splish splash, mountain creek, and all those. They’re places you go to play in water. In some countries they don’t have any clean water. People die every day of either dehydration or diseases gotten from dirty water. We play around in a thing that in some parts of the world can be the difference between life and death. We pay $59.95 to spend a day playing around in something that some people don’t even have as a necessity (not a luxury). This imbalance of wealth is exaggerated (in the book) but in many ways but still holds the same essence.
         In this world, and Thomas’s there is an imbalance of wealth and power. This has been a problem ever since the idea of capitalism ever took shape. I believe this book is making a statement: “this is what could happen if nothing changes,”
