Government in the Maze Runner - Hurumanu 6

 For the past few session we have started watching the movie "The maze runner". 

The maze runner is about a teenage boy named Thomas who wakes up in the center of a gigantic labyrinth.  He doesn't remember anything from his past, except his name. He is not the only person there. There are many other teenage boys stuck inside the labyrinth as well. As time goes on he gradually finds out more and more about where he is. The people that have been dumped here previously are called Gladers. They call the place where they all now live The Glade. The Glade is run by two boys, Alby, the leader, and Newt, the second-in-charge. The elevator like box comes up to the surface once a month with supplies, weapons, and always a new boy. The Glade is surrounded by a mile high concrete wall covered in ivy. On the other side of the wall there are Grievers, Grievers are described as monsters of metal and flesh. The Gladers are trying to stay alive as well as "solve" the Maze by running through it as fast as they can while tracking movements of the walls and trying to escape. Not long after Thomas's arrival, the box is sent up with a girl and a note in it - the note said "she is the last one ever". Which implies that there will be no more people sent into the maze. The girl, Teresa, goes into a coma and when Thomas goes to see her he recognizes her but can't remember her name. He hears a voice telling them her name in Teresa but the voice is in his head. Her arrival triggers everything in the Glade to Change; the sun disappeared, the deliveries of supplies stop coming, and the doors of the Maze stay open at night, which now allows the Grievers to enter the Glade and hunt the children.

Therefore in our Hurumanu we are based on the social/political side, we had to create a slide/poster of the movie and how it connects with politics.
