Chip wanting Ben to hack the school mainframe to change his grades and in return being best friends with him. When they are about to head to the office to go hack the mainframe, Chip gets electrocuted by the knob on the door and then he unconsciously falls to the ground. Murray who just electrocuted Chip brings Ben to the Mess Hall, to talk about how Spy School sucks. Murray then calls Ben a Flemming, some who comes to spy school thinking there going to become James Bond. Murray goes on to crushing Ben's dreams about Spy School telling him that everyone has a very little chance of success except Erica Hale. Then Murray shows that he wants to purposefully fail Spy School so he he could get a desk job so he could have less work, and a less chance dying. That night an assassin broke into his room asking questions about Pinwheel, and Ben tries to mislead the assassin plus Ben doesn't even know what he is talking about. He is able to get hold of his tennis racket to injure the assassin and runs out the door to alert people. The one that comes out and helps him was Tina Cuevo. After that night this leads to the search for the

Ben’s punishment was that he had to go in the maze with the Grievers and spend the night. There was no chance of survival. I used to think that the people here were very strict, but wouldn’t want to torture anyone, but now I’m realizing that the people here are really harsh and will put Ben in the maze with Grievers. Being that, Chuck said, “ ‘He’s being Banished. Tonight, for trying to kill you.’ ‘Banished? What does that mean?’ Thomas had to ask, though he knew it couldn’t be good if Chuck thought it was worse that being dead.” (Dashner 89). In fact, Ben had to spend the night in the maze. There was no chance of survival because no one has ever survived a night in the maze. Therefore, the Gladers have rules and if you break one, you pay for

The article “The Spy who came home” written by Ben Taub talks about the story of how an expert in counterterrorism became a police officer. This is a great story because it explains how Patrick Skinner’s education helped him become a better cop and how he is different from other police officers.

Benjamin Tallmadge, labored himself creating intelligence operatives. The first of his recruits, the naive Lt. Nathan Hale, soon died on the gallows, a victim of hapless trade craft. But his courageousness attained him ageless fame, including a sculpture on the CIA campus in Langley.

In response, Ben stated that he does believe everything he says, but most people misinterpret what he says. He then defended his comparison of the United States to Nazi Germany by saying most people conclude that he meant that Nasty Germany is completely like America. However, what he said is that the United States is like Nasty Germany, because they did not speak up for what they believed during Hitler’s rule. He defended his characterization of the Obama Care as the worst thing since slavery by explaining how he views the government as dictating to the American people what should be done, which isn’t the way things should be. He defended his statement on the President observing the Supreme Court decision by saying President Obama can pass the law, but doesn’t have to agree with it.

He didn’t have the idea of becoming an author until he reached college. An English professor he had, said that his grammar skills were the same as an average fifth grader’s. Ben asked if he should quit the class and the professor told him, “I just finished reading three hundred stories, and only one made me laugh and cry. That was yours. You’re a storyteller. That’s writing.” When people ask him, “Is it realistic for a bad student to grow up and become an author?” he says, “You bet it is!”

As Ben entered the base of The Warlords he felt concerned to find that no one was on patrol. When in the blink of an eye he was surrounded by men in dark cloaks with guns so power they could shoot the sun out of the sky. They took him to Skullzo and he there faced almost certain death as Skullzo said to give him one good reason why he should not kill on spot. Ben’s response baffled Skullzo as he gave Skullzo two options. Option A, leave Santa Monica and never return, or option B, he kills them all and gives Santa Monica their freedom and life back. Skullzo chose wrong.

He was insecure. The type of girl Ben likes has to be genuine, honest. That’s a big thing for him since in his first relationship, he struggled with cheating."

The mission isn’t a complete failure but the team discovers someone set them up to fail and they don’t take failure as an option. With the aid of Hannah who has inside information on their terrorist and who may know who set them up, Ben does all in his power not to fall for the only woman he has ever loved.

Willy’s flashbacks and imagined conversations with Ben show that he associates him with self-assuredness and worldly knowledge. Even though Ben’s success is not the result of determination, honesty, or any other meritorious qualities that Willy could apply to his own life, Willy turns to Ben whenever he is unsure about anything. This is unfortunate for multiple reasons. Firstly, when Ben was alive, he showed few good qualities other than self-confidence—in fact, in one of Willy’s flashbacks, Ben cheats Willy’s son to win a fight. Although the author does not reveal much more about Ben’s character, this scene is very telling; it shows readers that in addition to luck, amoral activity likely contributed to Ben’s success.

Many present day movies make being a spy look like an exciting job title with huge money rewards at the end of each mission completed. Yet, in the real world being a spy does not come with any glory, and being a spy was very much looked down upon during the late 1700s. A spy needs to take risks, and must weigh their options to find which decision will cause the least amount of casualties. They need to be intelligent, know how to blend in, and how to become a completely different person. And to protect themselves, a spy must know how to use information that they have to blackmail someone if they ever get into a compromising situation. The Culper Spy Ring was a line of intelligence that was created to give General George Washington a reliable system to spy on the British. Being apart of this Ring was not a cakewalk and required many years of sacrifice. In the end however, the Culper Spy Ring was able to provide General George Washington with important information such as ambush warnings, British military movements, and even lead to the capture of Major John André. Being a spy was a horrific title, yet they really should have been given more credit.

When Martin makes Ben live with his old roommate in China, Ben becomes aware that Quan is not the same. Instead of becoming a professor he is a

At first Joe didn’t want anything to do with ben at all but after awhile especially after his mother died. Ben bailed him and Simon out jail after Joe wrecked the gym teacher’s office looking for the baseball that killed his mom trying to find his dad.

Scotty finally crosses paths with Bennie after many years, and during this situation, he provides another standard of what is to be authentic. They are now adults, Bennie is a successful record producer, and Scotty works as a janitor at an elementary school. While sitting in the park one day, Scotty comes across Bennie’s picture in a news article. He tries not to think about this old friend of his but soon that all he can thinks about. While Bennie is a powerful man up in a tall building, Scotty sees himself sitting on a bench as just another nobody. Scotty then

Here Ben makes a serious situation look light and absurd. Majority of the audiences would side with Ben and laugh at the old man’s stupidity and the resultant death whereas a few like Gus would be shocked and consider it to be the fault of someone else (Who advised him to do a thing like that?) instead of the old man and sympathize with the old man.
