The Scorch Trials: Pre-Reading

After a long break of nothingness I'm itching to get back to this series: next, The Scorch Trials! At the end of the last book, Thomas and the rest of the escaped Gladers got into a pickle between the people that were the creators of this "experiment" and some sort of rebellion group that took the Gladers away to live with them and try to understand the situation. It was also hinted that even this pickle is an experiment itself, and who knows where that goes? Hopefully all will be revealed in The Scorch Trials!

My Favorite Satire

Now we're getting political... It seems that on

every road trip you get into at least one hassle
on finding which way to turn to reach the airport, and soon enough you so frustrated that
you think the government purposely made the
roads as confusing and thoughtless as possible.
The picture to the right might describe exactly
how you think they created each and every road.
It depicts several hermit crabs that are walking
with no purpose across a piece of paper with a
pen attached to their shell. The results are quite
random; and hilarious. This would be an example of Horatian Satire; which was made
simply to give the viewer a smile. More specifically, this would be an hyperbole; something that exaggerates the actual concept
and reality of an issue. In this case, we're assuming that the government doesn't actually turn to hermit crabs for designing our roads.
Key word:Assuming
