Introduction
The growing number of coming of age stories in the novel industry has allowed many teens to be
able to grow and become better people. By definition a coming of age story is one where a person
goes through many trials to become a better version of themselves or in other words an adult. Many
people tend to overlook the impact characters in novels have to readers such as Newt from The
Maze Runner book series can inspire us to be more selfless in our actions (Dashner, 2011).

In conjunction with The Big Bad Wolf Book Fair 2020, we would like to propose a book trailer on The
Maze Runner in which we titled “The Runner”. This is an effort to encourage more teenagers to pick
up novel reading as a hobby. We hope to spark the love for novel reading by showing how
interesting, heart breaking and captivating stories in novels can be. The proposal will illustrate the
details of our project such as the project background, budget estimation, task distribution
arrangement, and our proposed timeline.

Project Background
Problem Statement:

Most adolescent now days possess moral ambiguity or in other words are unable to tell what is right
and what is wrong. Morals, ethics and interpersonal skills are things that do not develop in a person
miraculously. People only develop these skills through experiences in life. One of these experiences
can be from reading an enticing book. The most addicting book type for the adolescent nowadays is
the coming of age stories. In fact, due to its popularity there are many new up and coming writers
that produce more of this type of novel every day. To put it short coming of age stories is one of the
ways to teach the adolescent morals and develop proper ethics. Our project intends to entice more
of the general public to get into book reading as a hobby.

The objectives of this proposal are:

1)To highlight the importance of literature in the development of young minds and to educate them
about the benefits to reading literature

2)To promote the book series The Maze Runner to the general public

3)To inspire the young generation to be a better version of themselves by breaking through their
mental shell and become a prominent member of society

Brief Overview

The difference between a person who seeks danger and a person who is thrust face first into it is
that one is likely to survive with good odds on them while the other has slim chances of survival. We
all start off the same way but its what we do in between that defines us. Because of this we should
spend our youth in a meaningful way that can benefit us in the future. The impact it will have on the
youth will help create a generation of leaders. We plan to produce a trailer titled ‘The Runner’. The
trailer focuses on the story of the Gladers, a group of young adults breaking free from the threat of
the apocalypse and the sacrifices that needed to be taken to get there (Dashner, 2009). The Trailer
will take approximately 2 weeks and will 3 minutes long. We are going to be using the information
from The Maze Runner book series written by James Dashner to create the trailer.

Conclusion
The main purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate that by just altering our main mediums of
advertising from the traditional methods to more contemporary methods we can accomplish goals
that have never been seen the light of day without having too much competition among others for
starting in first. Eventually, this will become a mainstream trend that will evolve the reading culture
for generations to come with fans making their own versions of book trailers. In order to kickstart
this reaction amongst the teenagers.

many crowds, we must take the first step into bringing it to light in hopes for this to become the new
“tradition” for generations to come and be brought to perfection to the craft.
