The Shapeshifter


When you first here the word, Shape shiftier, what do you first think of? An animal or person changing into something else? A shape turning into something else? Well, a shape shifter acts to bring uncertainty and tension into a story, by changing appearance, mood, or behaviour. In a romance, the hero and heroine can both be shape shifters or someone they never expected, such as the shadow or the mentor. In one of the book series that I read, The Maze Runner By: James Dashner, the shape shifter would be a character by the name of Teresa. During the first book, she comes up in "the box" just like everyone else, but the difference between her and the gladers, she's the only girl. Already using common knowledge, you would be able to guess that she would be the shape shifter and be with her love, Thomas, the protagonist,  in which I don't agree on. Thominho is the ship to go with. Anyways, when we're introduced to her, she is very quiet and considered to be very weird because of her weird she says for no reason like "WICKED is good or everything is going to change". As we get farther into the book, her personality starts to change. She becomes more adventurous when she fights creatures in the book called grievers with the rest of the gladers to defend their lives and slowly but surely, Thomas starts to fall in love with her. As we get on in the series, we start to find out secrets like, don't worry, I won't spoil it. To find out about her, you'll have to read the series yourself.
