  12. Theme T • A theme is the moral or a lesson of the story. The theme for The Maze Runner is that you should never give up even if the odds are against you. We think this is the theme because even when they thought that the maze was impossible, they still got out. The only reason why they got out was because Thomas never gave up and helped the other Gladers become free.

  13. Resolution The resolution of The Maze Runner is when the Gladers make their way out of the maze and into the safety of the rescuers who came and took them to their families.
