Essay about The Hero's Journey in The Maze Runner, by James Dashner

Thomas and the rest of the Gladers go around to investigate, finding that the room where they'd eaten pizza with the people who rescued them was locked. They ram the door down and turn on the lights to find the rescuers dead bodies hanging from the ceiling. They enter Teresa's room, which is empty, except for a boy that just came out of the bathroom named Aris, who's from Group B. He can also talk telepathically, and even had a telepathy partner named Rachel, but she was killed just like Gally had killed Chuck in the first book. Outside of the room is a plaque that says "Teresa Agnes. Group A, Subject A1.

Thomas is a caring person, however he is also serious. Explaining that even when times are rough, he is cares about whom ever is having a bad day. Also, he is serious at times when the situation is teaching a lesson to someone. This passage states, “ I didn’t say we were friends. I said you have to take me with you.” Showing that compassion and understanding gives an example to others who do the same. Being positive shows how Thomas is being

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

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.

Since they were so against facing the Gievers or exploring the maze more in depth, it took them 2 years to figure out the code and finally escape. It's never revealed why WICKED put Thomas and Teresa in the maze, but my theory is that the other Gladers were taking too long to escape so they put them in to help them out. Therefore, Thomas' position in the glade was created because of fear, the fear of the Grievers the Gladers had, and WICKED's fear that they'll take too long. Another demonstration of fear playing a big role in the story is Chuck's shocking sacrifice. After the Gladers escape the maze and enter this laboratory, they come across a deranged Gally.

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

This highlights how much Thomas cares about Victor, and how Thomas wants to aid Victor through this hard time in his

Yes he does, he does. Studies show that when in an unfamiliar place people tend to become shy and anxious. Thomas instead shows courage. For example, From the first day he arrives in the glade without memory of who he is, he continues to thrive, learn, push through hard ships, and face challenges. In addition, Thomas also has to gain the trust

Thomas seems to have a gift in his storytelling, they may seem like crazy stories he tells over and over but his stories may carry some kind of meaning. “We are all given one thing by which our lives are measured, one determination. Mine are the stories which can change or not change the world.” (Alexie P. 518) His stories about Victor’s father are why he went out of his way to help Victor. It took Victor a trip to Phoenix to see that Thomas was there for a reason, to help him because they were cousins.

This quote is important to the plot development as we discover that Thomas thinks he has been/seen the glade before although he can't remember anything specific. It is these suspicions that lead Thomas to discovering more about the glade and devising an escape plan.

to the older members of the Glade, usually involving going into the maze or other

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 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.

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. James Dashner who wrote the novel The Maze Runner was trying to inform us, Sense of hope and to entertain his readers by studying their brain patterns. They were trying to figure out how the brain patterns of a non-immune.

The Gladers show this by being in a tough situation, but making the most of what they have to exit the maze. Thomas, Theresa, and the rest of the Gladers could have given up when they began being attacked, but they made the most of it to make it out alive. Also this is shown when the rebels come and save the day. On page 361 when the rebels take the opportunity to save the Gladers they say, “Just follow me and run like your life depends on it. Because it does.” This part of the book allows the rebels to take their opportunity and save the Gladers.
