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.

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.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner is an action, adventure, science fiction book. It is about a teenager named Thomas, who arrives in an enclosed environment with no memory of his past. He lives with other teenagers, all boys. Everyday, they try to figure out a way to escape the maze, and seek freedom, but Thomas figured a way out. All of the gladers (the nickname of the people, due to them living in a place called the glade) ran out in the maze, most of them were killed by grievers (monsters that live in the maze), but some of them survived including Thomas. The survivors escaped the maze.
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
Thomas was a very naughty child. He used to always get into trouble for misbehaving such as the time when he set his father’s barn on fire. He was only six years old when this incident took place.
On page 357 of The scorch trials, “The betrayal meant he couldn't trust her anymore, and his heart told him he couldn't forgive her.” What it means is that Thomas doesn't have a good trusting and caring relationship with Teresa for what she did to him. The book, by James Dashner is about this young guy named Thomas who likes to protect his friends from Wicked, because Wicked are people that put them through tough situations and ruined his relationship with Teresa. Thomas is a dynamic character, in trusting, he learns that as time passes he won't be able to trust the people that he loved.

Abraham Lincoln is one of the most influential American Presidents known for his leadership in a revolutionary movement that officially outlawed slavery in the U.S. Eric Foner, the American historian examined the path of Lincoln that eventually led him to a historical achievement. The Fiery Trial by Eric Foner shows that Lincoln unlimited capacity for growth allowed him to adapt to the changing political environment as the issue of slavery progressed in the 19th century. The book is a biography of Lincoln that takes a look at how Lincoln’s upbringing and early political environment had shaped his opinions regarding slavery. By putting Lincoln’s actions into the background in which they have occurred, Foner not only makes sense of the inconsistency in Lincoln’s political behavior, but also shows how a radical idea that seemed ridiculous at the time could be gradually implemented by the changing public sentiment.

Waking up not knowing anything or anyone is one of the scariest thoughts a human brain can conjure up, but what if this turned out to be a reality for you? How terrified would someone feel? Then you find out you were taken by a mysterious force along with about fifty to sixty other people. Well this turned out to be a reality for Thomas in the book The Maze Runner, by James Dashner. In this book, Thomas faces the challenges of trying to fit in with the other boys, faces the challenge of trying to follow the rules, and faces the urge to become a maze runner. All of these reasons show how Thomas is an outcast archetype.
The Scorch Trials, a dystopian story written by James Dashner, takes place in a world, plagued by the deadliest illness in human history. Thomas gets his memory wiped out by WICKED, an organization that is devoted to find a cure to a disease called the flare. Thomas is sent out with a group, and they are put through enormously difficult tests for WICKED to study their reactions. One recurring lesson in the book suggests that people will do anything to survive, even if you have to give up the people you love.
"Thomas leaned back against the rough rock, overcome by disbelief at what he had just done. Filled with terror at what the consequences might be." (Dashner). He ran outside the Glades knowing he only had seconds to come back in until the thick, humongous walls closed shut for the night sealing the three Gladers outside. What is worse is this is at night, one extremely tired, one with an injured arm, and Thomas, an inexperienced Glader. They have no idea what they were going to expect. Thomas might have not know it, but he's crossing his very first threshold in the story.
Just after the Gladers are sent back to their bunks, Thomas has a dream about his mother. This makes Thomas mad and confused because he never knew his mother. Minho, seeing Thomas distressed, tries to calm him down by getting close to his face and then snapping his fingers in an annoying way. This gets Thomas only more frantic. When that doesn’t work, Minho snickers, “Hello? Calling Thomas? Not a good time to daydream. Lots of dead bodies, smells like Frypan’s pits. Wake up!” (Dashner 16). Minho does this to distract Thomas by cracking a dark joke.This shows that whenever the times were tough, Minho knew just what to say to cheer the other Gladers up or get them out of a

The Maze Runner begins with a young boy, Thomas, starting his new life in an elevator. Thomas has no memory of his life prior to this moment. In his mind he could see things, and he knew things, but he did not know where he was, or where he came from. His life was a mystery. When the elevator doors finally open, Thomas finds himself standing in a glade surrounded by walls. There are several other boys, who like Thomas, do not know where they came from. All the young boys knew were what their names were. These boys, who have no memory of their lives prior to entering the Glade, pull Thomas into the Glade. Thomas quickly discovers that the Glade is like a farm. The farm is run by Alby and Newt. Alby and Newt are two boys who control everything and everyone in the Glade. They force all the boys to do farm work while at the Glade. Alby and Newt are very mean to the boys, and force all of the boys to adhere to a strict set of rules. Thomas discovers that outside the Glade is a maze with deadly creatures called grievers, and they must find a way out of the maze. In the group of boys in the Glade, there is a group of runners. The runners are the ones who go
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.
