In the section “The School”, Thomas is forced to go to school but dislikes it so much that he tries to run away and go back to his lodge in the mountains. Once he gets back, he finds that his lodge has been burned to the ground and that there is nothing left. Thomas willingly goes back to the school and starts to go by Thomas Black Bull. “His name is Thomas Black Bull. He was baptized with that name” (Page 52).

Thomas started to learn a lot about medicine. He worked with Black on every thing. The one day Blalock was offered a job at John Hobkins hospital. He wouldn’t go unless Thomas went.

The story indicates from the beginning that"Nobody talked to Thomas anymore because he told the same damn stories over and over again, " (Alexie 280). The last vision the audience knows is to when he is with Victor's father. Thomas goes with Victor on his journey in the hope that by completing his previous vision job he can experience new visions. On achieving to help Victor on his journey Thomas, "… heard a new story come to him in the silence afterward," (Alexie 286). Completing Thomas's last vision gave him his new vision because his previous visions. Thomas resentment towards Victor for what he had done but helped him because of the promise to Victor's

While there are some obstacles like facing WICKED and Teresa betraying Thomas. The weather out there is extremely dangerous. Thomas and the glazers have to cooperate to make it out of the wasteland. In this book we are mainly in Thomas’s brain.

In his first few days in the glade, Thomas wanted to be a runner as he felt that he was meant to be a runner and he felt like he knew the maze. Minhoe and Alby went into the maze to look at a dead grevier but Alby got stung and Minhoe was struggling to bring him back into the glade and right when the maze was about to close for the night Thomas ran into the maze because he wanted to help Minhoe and Alby survive. After about a week or two of Thomas living in the glade, Thomas started to respect his elders more, doing what they asked. After Thomas went through the changing, he told the keepers everything that he remembered from the changing so that they could try and find out how to get out of the maze. Part of Thomas' plan was for him to get taken by the grievers while the rest of the Gladers went into the griever hole to try and find something that they could put the code into it to open a door to get out.

When I was reading the Maze Runner I made some connections. When Thomas went out into the maze, why would he do

Thomas, voluntarily saves one of the Glader's who was injured coming back from the maze. Consequently, in the time he saved him, he fails at getting him back home.

Thomas moved at the beginning of the book so he had to make new friends. The town he moved to was strange and different. Thomas struggled with making friends and fitting in. He felt alone and frightened when he found out that his house might be haunted. He had no friends to turn to for help.

In the beginning, the main character, Thomas, has his memory wiped so he doesn’t know anything. Over time though, he begins to accept where he is (the Glade) and that the people in the Glade have nothing but each other. Thomas also adapts to the Glade’s slang, and talks like a Glader. He also saves the lives of some Gladers who are his friends, such as Alby. At the end Thomas became a sort of leader, trying to make the best decisions when the rest of the Gladers didn’t know what to do. Thomas talks to the other Gladers like someone would talk to their friends or family, and Thomas does his best to help protect the Gladers. Thomas is hard and cold to the people from WICKED, as at the end one of their workers kills Chuck, one of Thomas’s

Her name is Teresa. Teresa tells everyone that everything is about to change, then succumbs to a coma. Thomas feels a connection to her, but can’t figure out where he knows her from. Thomas then decides that he wants to be a Runner, Gladers who go out into the Maze in an attempt to map it and find a way out. While exploring the Maze, Alby is stung by a Griever. Minho, the leader of runners, attempts to get him back into the Glade before the walls close but they are not going to make it. Thomas sees them, then races out to help and becomes trapped outside in the Maze with them. The Maze is most dangerous at night because that is when the Grivers are most active. Despite being the most experienced, Minho panics and runs away leaving Thomas and Alby. Through wits and skill, Thomas manages to save himself with alby, and survive the night in the Maze. That made Thomas a hero and from that, Minho convinces the other Gladers to allow Thomas to become a Runner trainee. Thomas then begins training under Minho. He learns how the Runners map the Maze, looking for patterns to the maze every day. Thomas also visits Teresa who is still comatose. She begins to communicate with him telepathically and tells Thomas that she has triggered the end. The next day the sun has disappeared from the sky, replaced with a dull gray sky. Thomas realizes that the Glade is a fabricated place and that the sky was never real. Teresa tells

Thomas was nervous as he walked the busy streets of Wesley Crossing. He tried to keep dry as the rain cries down on him. All he knew was to go to the cemetery along the cobblestone path, only then would his family be safe.

Although this leaves Thomas feeling oddly exhilarated, while he's lying in his sleeping bag in a meadow near the gardens, he returns to feeling sad and curious. Thomas tells Chuck that he wants to become one of the Runners, even though he still doesn't really know what they do. Chuck just laughs and says whatever because being a runner is one of the hardest jobs in the glade.

The famous book The Maze Runner by James Smith Dashner, is the famous story about a young man named Thomas who wakes up in the middle of a metallic box that serves as an elevator with no memory of his past, the box opens up to a place called “the Glade” with 60 other boys staring back at him as he tries to run away pass them. Every thirty days a new boy or supplies arrive from the box and for three years they have lived together trying to find clues through the maze that surrounds them; but as they start losing hope it all changes when something unprecedented happens and a girl along with a note arrive through the box. The book along with amazing imagery and relevance to today’s world manages to attract more than just teenagers but anybody that is up for the challenge of the maze, and that is just the purpose of this paper to demonstrate multiple reason of why this book not only deserves to be read but it should hold a place in the literary canon.

Why do we need a purpose for writing a book? For example the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner? An Author Purpose is the reason an author decides to write about a specific topic.

Thomas finally explains to Victor that his stories “They are all I have, all I can do” (Alexie, 214) which Victor seems to begin to understand despite the fact that “Thomas would remain the crazy storyteller who talked to dogs and cars, who listened to the wind and pine trees”(Alexie, 214) while also being aware that “he couldn’t really be friends with Thomas even after all that happened”(Alexie, 214).  Despite the boundaries that seem to separate them Thomas asks for just one request from Victor in return for his money and time and that is to “Just one time when I’m telling a story somewhere, why don’t you stop and listen?” (Alexie, 215).  Victor agrees and as a gift to Thomas he gives half the ashes of his father to Thomas that they agree will be tossed into Spokane Falls and “will rise like a salmon, leap over the bridge, over me, and find his way home” (Alexie, 215). Thomas gives Victor one last word of advice before they leave when he simply says “Nothing stops cousin” (Alexie, 215) leaving the reader pondering what that means as the story wraps up. The two then part ways leaving behind their past as they look towards the future and whatever it may
