3B’s
Background (what was happening in the world and the author’s life when the book was being written) -
This book was written in 2009, and in this year there was things such as Obama becoming president and Michael Jackson dying ext. Thanks to technology a lot of small aspects are remembered. So, to investigate it more accurately, I want to look at things done against children and circumstances where people were forced to work. If you look at it in this perspective, you can see that child labour was (and still is) an issue in the world. Also, James Dashner had his second son in 2007, meaning he might of thought about children more as he got his second baby.
