Who Is Thomas A Role Model In The Maze Runner

"When we're young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn't exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available” (Moore, 178). Role models play a very big part in shaping an individual and deciding which route they take in their lifetime. In both of the Weses’ life, role models contributed to why they both turned out so differently. Wes Moore, the author, had strong and positive influences in his life that helped guide him on the right path to become a successful adult. However, the other Wes Moore had many influences in his life that, not intentionally, guided him down the wrong path.

Their power struggle is shown through both low and high camera angles as well as through the colours of their costumes and Thomas’s curiosity and Gally’s need for security is portrayed through their many personality conflicts. After analysing the movie, I came to the realisation of being involved in a conflict much like the one between Thomas and Gally; the hope for something better versing the security of the norm. However, I had learnt from that conflict to always hope for and fight for something better as the norm can become as restricting as the maze

Thomas is the narrator and protagonist of the story. He arrives in the maze with no knowledge of who he is or was. He only remembers his name and nothing else about his life. Thomas proves to be brave and clever even though he only has a very limited memory of previous knowledge of the Maze. Since arriving in the maze, Thomas makes both friends and enemies and proves to be a leader among the other boys with him in the maze.

True role models are those who possess the qualities that we would want to have in the near future and those who interest us in a way that make us want to be a better person. They teach us more about ourselves and encourage us to make better choices. A role model is not just someone who is successful, but someone who has had similar experiences that we have had. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee demonstrates that Atticus Finch is a true role model. Over the course of the novel, Atticus stands up for his beliefs, respects everyone despite who they are and behaves as a true father. Atticus is truly the ideal role model.

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

The character Thomas from “ This Is What It Means To Say Phoenix, Arizona.” is keeping his word by watching over Victor when he most needs it. Thomas is a guy no one really likes and talk to because he is always telling random stories, people see him as a crazy person. In reality Thomas is very humble, because after Victor beating him up for no reason one day, Thomas still decided to help Victor when he was most in need of it.

One of the reasons that I consider Mr. Jason to be a role model is because he was committed. He would give up his time to coach my softball team. He would try to show up to our games and practices. In addition, he would help us out through the game. He wouldn't just sit there and watch us, he would help us and give us helpful pointers on how to hit better. Mr. Jason was very committed to all sports he showed up to all games, when he could. He was always able to give us pointers and help us out through the game. For instance, one time at practice, I was up at bat. I was struggling to hit the ball. Then, he told me to choke up on the bat and to just focus on the ball. When I listened to his instruction, I hit the ball. The ball went all the way into the outfield.

“Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.” ~ Barry Bonds. In this world bad situations occur frequently and it takes a good strong person to handle them in a mature way. Dealing with them this way not only shows that the person has self-control, but also makes them a good role model for people to look up to. In the book The Chosen, Chaim Potok uses Mr. Galanter to express his opinions of a good role model. Acting as a baseball coach and gym teacher, young boys look to him for guidance and motivation every day. Having this kind of position causes stress at times, and requires him to stay calm and level headed. Throughout this book, Mr. Galanter

Being scared: As you are sent away while you 're young to a mysterious place with no memories of the past. Most things in life cost something, sadly, and in the Gladers case, sometimes the cost they are making is someone 's life.

Sometimes there are selfish motivations, and sometimes there isn’t, but it 's pretty bad when an innocent person has to die.

When someone has a willingness to see and acknowledge their past faults and have a desire for change, they have the potential to revive a much brighter future with meaningful companionship. During the trip, victor glows deeper respect for Thomas. It was beyond victors belief that “Thomas, that

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.

A man who is a leader to me is Mr. Favela. Mr. Favela is a leader to me he inspires me not to give up on anything. If I choose to give up Mr. Favela is always there to boost me back up again. Like Mr. Favela always tells me “do your best, be your best, and never give up.”
