Topic+Proposal

=TOPIC PROPOSAL=

My topic is on Thomas, the protagonist From the Novel " __The Maze Runner__". Author: James Dashner Genre: Science Fiction Thomas constantly exibits characteristics of a leader at least and a hero in my eyes. My topic revolves around showing how thomas truly is a hero. Also not neccessarilly only as a stereotipical science fiction hero, but as a hero in general. Thomas' out look on the glade differs from almost everyone in the glade in a few different ways including that he is more optimistic about the things made things tough for him. His traits such as massive courage and fortitude show perfectly how one could accuse him of being a hero. Within this project, I will explain the feelings that Thomas is having that are causing him to feel strange and sense an " unbalance". Thomas also exibits many characteristics that most would say distinguish him from a normal every day person. Reasons and examples such that thomas has abnormal speed and stamina. Also he is able to endure through huge amounts of pain and continue to do what he is doing, not even just running. Basically just in the beginnig of the book when Thomas emediately shows interest in taking the important role of being a runner. The role of being a runner it's self is heroic because the point of it is to find a way out of the maze and save everyone. I will also show how Thomas' high level of couriosity is driving him to have the actions that he does. The couriosity is basically the root of how Thomas' traits are shown. In the Project, I will also discuss how the setting, conflicts in the plot and surrounds of the character really show how he is a hero.

This Topic/ character In my oppinion is Perfect for the project because his heroic character is shown clearly to me.
