Summary Of ' The Death Cure '

Thomas has many questions, but almost none get answered. As Thomas and Chuck are walking, Chuck plays a joke on someone in the bathroom and runs away. The person in the bathroom was Gally and he only sees Thomas. He says that he has seen him before, and because of this joke, Gally hates Thomas more. Later that night, he sees a person running very fast come out each of the four doors and go into a small concrete building in the middle of the Glade and he wants to know what they were doing. Thomas has a strong urge to become a runner, even though he doesn’t know what they do. He also starts to recognize The Glade and thinks he has been there before. The next morning Newt wakes Thomas up and shows him a Greiver, what seems to be a mix of an animal and a machine, through a window, trying to show Thomas why he should stay inside of the Glade. He also explains that there is a maze surrounding The Glade and every second the runners are awake, they are trying to solve it. Later, Alby will take Thomas on a tour

After finding out that there was a way to leave the Glade and into the maze, which he had dreamed of doing since he descended into the maze, Thomas wholeheartedly accepted the commitment and responsibility to join it, to be a runner, to run into the maze during the day memorizing the movement of the walls and mapping them out to find a solution to destroying the maze. Before proceeding into the maze, Thomas reflects on his decision: “Thomas swallowed, wondering how he could ever go out there. His desire to become a runner had taken a major blow. But he had to do it. Somehow he knew he had to do it. It was such an odd thing to feel, especially after what he'd just seen . . . he somehow felt it in his bones. But nothing about this place made any sense. Except for one thing. He was supposed to be a Runner” (Dashner 39). Even after seeing the maze and experiencing it first hand through a full in the night, he puts his fears aside and take on this responsibility that he feels. Thomas feels that that he has an obligation to join the Runners, regardless of the dangers that come with running the maze. Unlike the other Gladers, Thomas wants to make a difference. The boys definitely see him as different, Chuck even explains to Thomas why that is, “oh gee let me think. First you go out in the maze when you’re not supposed to, at night. Then you turn into some kind of freaky jungle dude, climbing vines and tying people up on the walls. Nect you become one of the first people ever to survive an entire night outside the Glade, and to top it all off you kill four grievers. Can’t imagine what those Shanks are talking about” (Dashner 148). Most of the Gladers don’t trust Thomas because he’s different than they are, he doesn’t just accept what the other Gladers accepted. Thomas brings new skills and ideas to the Glade that they didn’t have before. He was unique and

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.

In the short story “Masque of the Red Death” By: Edgar Allen Poe he delivers the theme of age old inevitability of death and futility of trying to escape death, the setting of his story is based during a time when the bubonic “black” plague took over Europe. The black plague was a bacterium that survived in rats and rodents, human beings became infected when they got bitten by the fleas that lived on these rodents and rats; you knew you had gotten infected by several symptoms such as bleeding in the lungs, high fever and delirium but the most outstanding symptom was bubos. Now Bubos are painful lymph nodes that appear usually in the armpits, legs, neck or groin areas, if the infected

Every story has its own taste: sweet, bitter, sour, hot, creamy, plain, etc. Some storytellers like to stick to one flavor throughout a whole story, while others might prefer to create their work by mixing some flavors together. In Jesus’ Son, Denis Johnson creates a story that has the mixed feelings of darkness, desperation, compassion, and humor. This is a story about a man, refers to as Fuckhead, in his early twenties drowning in drugs, wondering from place to place with other junkie friends, making awful life choices, behaving like a naïve kid, but still seeking for redemption and meaning. This book consists several short stories about death, pain, and hope. Denis Johnson shows readers the great desperation through the damaged and

Fate is a mysterious force. There are the non-believers, saying that you are responsible for your actions and not controlled by this so called ‘destiny,’ able to change your life at any point you wish to. Demonstrated in stories such as Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, these tales showcase how a crabby old miser and a mysterious man change the course of their futures. Meanwhile, there are many stories, myths, and even religions that emphasize how fate controls your life; that you are on a predestined path. Edgar Allen Poe seems to share this view on the subject. His short story, The Masque of the Red Death, exemplifies how no matter what you do to protect yourself, fate will find you and do its bidding. Despite his

In a post-apocalyptic setting a group of people strive to create a new utopia out of the ashes of the old. Dystopian societies sprout from the attempt at sustaining control over society and highly restrictive laws are set in place. Multiple fear tactics such as intense surveillance, mental reconditioning, an irrational fear of the outside world, these cruel punishments are used to strip the people of their ability to possess their own individual thought and personality. In place of their individuality the citizens are conditioned to follow specific moral and personal standards, enforcing the aspect of uniformity associated with dystopian societies. The citizens accept their way of life due to the fact that they don’t know how to live in any other way because the controlling party manipulates history to erase past events of rebellion or examples of a better way of life.

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.

The idea of being ruled by a totalitarian power has never ceased to scare an audience that fears of being controlled. By this case we can soon to establish from the reality today in certain countries, that we create our own story of how dystopian societies are seen. Dystopian societies in movies and novels have played a huge role in our lives, from Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games and Alduous Huxley’s Brave New World to Lois Lowry’s The Giver; cementing humanity's faults of suppressing power. But among those movies and novels, two have resonated in our minds, not only mimicking that of Syria and North Korea today, moreover presenting foreshadow of what is possibly to be. The film 1984 and the novel Fahrenheit 451 use fear

Thomas is held prisoner in WICKED headquarters, but is then eventually released by Janson, who tells the Gladers and Group B that there’s a cure for the Flare. The Gladers were forced to retrieve their memories and remove the tracking devices from their heads. “I’m afraid we don’t have much of a choice, the time for lies are over. Nothing’s going to work with you three still in the dark. I’m sorry. We need to do this, [...]” (Dashner 46). Thomas, Minho, and Newt were the only ones who chose not to undergo the procedure because they didn’t trust WICKED. Without the devices, the WICKED headquarters wouldn’t be able to track where the Gladers are. All three of them escaped before having their tracking devices removed, with the help of the Right Arm.

Throughout the film, Thomas is shown through body language and dialogue to have a curious and strong personality. After he is placed in the maze, the first time that he speaks, he asks the question “What is this place?” showing immediately the childlike curiosity that he possess that none of the other Gladers have shown. Though only a few minutes into the film, the director; Wes Ball, is able to convey that Thomas has a very curious nature, setting him apart from the rest of the Gladers. It is assumed that Thomas is the first Glader to question deeply why they are there and why it is that they can’t leave. Within the first three days that he has been placed there, things begin to change, such as runners getting stung during the day and a girl

Prince Prospero secludes a thousand friends and himself from the death around them, but finds that he cannot avoid the inevitable.
