          The book I am currently reading is the The Scorch Trials  which is a fantastic, action packed book. The author is James Dashner, he has written many books and a few series. The story takes place in a post apocalyptic world devastated by a disease called the "Flare" and the the world has been covered in a desert like environment. Every city as fallen except one which goes by the name the Last City and it is super high tech and always looking for a cure. Thomas and all the other Gladers are traveling to get the cure and to survive the wasteland. They take on many obstacles including the zombie like creatures known as Cranks.  Something this book can relate to is all the past diseases in history such as Small Pox. Small Pox was a terrible disease that killed 500 million people and could of ended life as we know it. The Flare was also a terrible disease and it takes place in the Scorch Trials.             ...

 The Death Cure - Text to All      A post apocalyptic is a world I think most people wouldn't want to be fighting in. "The Death Cure", by James Dashner takes place in a disease filled planet where the only way you can survive is by being immune to the disease just like Thomas, the main character. Thomas and his friends are the only few immunes left alive the disease, the flare, is a disease that controls peoples bodies and makes them go insane. WICKED, World in Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department, is trying to kidnap Thomas and build a blueprint for the cure to the flare. Thomas continues to lose countless friends due to bounty hunters set out to capture Thomas. Thomas is doing whatever he can to stop WICKED, even if he has to lose his friends in the process.      The Death Cure can be closely related to the book Daniel X, by James Patterson . In this book Daniel´s planet is infested with alien spies trying to destroy the human r...

Then he wakes up and goes into the wild to hunt a mouse for the first time when all of a sudden he gets attacked by a gray feral cat, named Graypaw. Later two more feral cats come in and complement Rusty fighting Graypaw and say he should join their clan. later he abandons his comfortable kitty-pet life to be a wild cat, he gets the new name Firepaw which Rusty gladly accepts, not everyone accepts firepaw thought at first because they think he wouldn't be able to do anything that they can do.      I can connect this book to me by my stepmothers family not fully accepting me at first. This reminds me of when Fire-paw first entered the clan and getting in a fight with Long-tail and getting his collar ripped off. This is when rusty got his new name, Fire-paw. T...
