The main setting in The Scorch Trials is the scorch. The scorch is basically a desert where there use to be a city and now it is covered by sand and it is extremely hot during the day. This happened after the Flare.There are multiple characters in The Scorch Trails, like Thomas, Newt Minho, Teresa, Aris, Jorge, Brenda, Sonya, Harriet, Rachel, and Janson. The protagonist in The Scorch Trails are Thomas, and Minho because they are trying to complete the trails of W.I.C.K.E.D, so they can be free because they are tired of being their test subjects. The antagonists are W.I.C.K.E.D and a group of girls. WICKED who is a scientist who is trying find a cure to stop the flare. The flare is a disease that turns people into zombie type.

It is where it takes place. Like I said before WICKED put two groups in the Scorch to see them compete and see who has a better chance to survive in the Scorch with the Flare, this is a trial by WICKED. The flare has stages to it, it slowly turns people crazy. The first group called group B whose mission was to kill Thomas to receive the cure for the flare, and when they did that they would have to go the Safe Haven to receive it. Group B was only young women. Group A who is only men has to go through the Scorch and go the Safe Haven to receive the cure. The people in Group A are Thomas, Minho, Newt, Aris, and the gladers. The people in group B are Teresa, Sonya, Harriet Rachel, and the women …show more content…
The reason why I believe the theme is trust is that Thomas had to trust in people through the challenges he faced. For example when he was told Jorge about the cure for the flare. Jorge could've killed him and his friend. But Thomas trusted in Jorge and Jorge trusted in Thomas. If they did not trust in each other, the gladers would not probability make to the Safe Heaven. That is the reason why I think trust is the theme in the Scorch Trails. Another example is when the book says “Thomas had never heard such arrogance from her. She was either a really good actress or had started going crazy. Gained a split personality or two”(DASHER). Thomas could've defended himself and attacked Teresa and killed her but he did not because he trusted in her. The conflict in the book is that Thomas is tried of WICKED games or their stupid trials. He wants to be free from WICKED and wants innocent people dying because of WICKED. The external conflict is that Thomas wants WICKED to stop them of people suffering because they make people suffer a lot. Like I said before WICKED usually kills innocent people which Thomas hates. Not just Thomas thinks that WICKED is evil but his Friends like Minho, Brenda, Newt, and others. Thomas wants to stop WICKED from putting people into their
To go more in depth, The Crucible is placed in Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. Now most people know about the witch trials. But no one really realized the geography behind it. The characters in the story are impacted by the place they grew up and the way they grew up. They were isolated and did not talk to the Indians or the English. They lived by mountains and believed in the devil. While Betty Parris grew up in a small town, word got around about witchcraft. As no dancing was allowed and the
I am alone. But I wanted to come back to warn you. Only no one is listening to me... "(pg 7) Trust is first developed in the story of Night when Moishe the Beadle, a foreigner, was expelled from Sighet. He began telling Elizer and all the Jews that he came across, the story of how he was forced to dig large trenches and then one by one they are shot.
I agree with what Graham Greene stated. In the book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys are stranded on an island where they unite but shortly separate. Trust is key when stranded and one of the boys, Jack, had no trust and felt he had to take matters in his own hands. Jack betrayed Ralph, the original leader, by separating the group and turning them against each other. Jack also mislead the others boys into illusions of food and relaxation because the boys were starving and fighting with one another but he could not fulfill any of his promises. He said these promises to gain trust. Jack did not trust Ralph's leadership so he decided to form his own group even though his own leadership was an untrustworthy. This action caused many problems and mistrust between all the boys. This lead Jack's group to attack Ralph's for Piggy's glasses to make fire. With no trust between the groups it causes chaotic events like this occurrence. This proves the statement, ".....It is impossible to go through life without trust" to be true because life without trust causes problems and enemies which leads to more mistrust.

In the novel Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson there are many cases of friendship and trust. During most of the novel the characters are on a wagon train headed for California. Along the way, there are many hardships that they must face, and their dilemmas are easier to overcome if they trust each other and look to one another for help. Even in the beginning of the novel the main character Lee looks to her best friend Jefferson for help when her parents are murdered. If the characters in the novel had not become friends or trusted each other their whole journey would have been even more difficult than it already was.
The first example of the theme trust, is getting the crew to trust Charlotte. Currently the crew does not trust Charlotte for her recent action of telling the captain about the red robin the crew had made to rebel against the captain. After that Charlotte wanted to prove herself to the crew by becoming one of them, she could tell that at first they weren’t sure of this. The crew also doesn’t trust Charlotte because they saw her carrying a dirk that Zachariah had given her. Later on in the story, Mr. Hollybrass, the second mate, was found dead under the main mast during a storm. He was stabbed in the back and killed with Charlotte’s dirk and he was found holding her handkerchief. A trial was held to accuse Charlotte for killing Mr. Hollybrass.

Prompt #1: In A Midsummer Night’s Dream the role of trust, friendship and loyalty are a constant part in the play being a driving force in most of the main plot points. In this play there are multiple examples of where trust is used, needed or abused and where the characters trust can forward the plot for better or worse. One example of trusts influence is between Lysander and Hermia, they are lovers and therefore are loyal to one another and trusting in one anothers judgment and doting over them thusly. While their trust is strong it can be broken easily as demonstrated by Puck having made Lysander fall in love with Helena, Hermia was betrayed by not only her best friend but her fiance as well, having two strong bonds of trust be broken and this is reflected in the story.
Trust is a universal matter that everyone needs to have with someone or something, and can lead to many things such as friendship, love, or other bonds. In the book, The Mark of Athena, the author decides to show trust is important by trusting yourself to know what to do and accept that you need others help. In the book, House Of Hades, the author shows trust is important with having the same group of people learning how to trust others and deny help at times, but also accept help from enemies. One with description and the other with tone.
“People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them” (Roth 322). This line in the book Insurgent by Veronica Roth, grasped the main idea in one piece of the book. Each and every part of this book is in some way related to trust. Tris and Tobias, the main characters, are star-crossed lovers who fight against the government for the better. Throughout the book, Tris and Tobias try to find out the secrets of the government. Some of their friends and family are traitors; they did not know whom to trust. Tris’s brother, Caleb, pretended that he was working with Tris. But to Tris’s surprise, Caleb was leaking their information to the Eruidite. In the end, Tris, Tobias, and friends defeated the Erudite and released a video that stated there are people outside of the fence who are waiting for them. I can connect to Tris not knowing who to trust, I can visualize Tobias frustration with Tris, and I question Tobias’s divergentness.
The idea of Trust can be seen in the texts: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Job, the Truman Show and Inigma, each text is connected by the idea that Trust has effects on relationships. From these texts, we learn that trust can have both positive and negative effects on people and relationships in a range of texts.

Trust is very important because without trust, how could you have friends? An example of trust is from the movie "Big Hero 6. " In the movie, Baymax would protect Hiro and his friends. He would even protect them for his whole life. But in the end he actually took his life to save Hiro.
Later on, Thomas is attacked by one of the Glader’s Ben. What is strange about this event is that Ben has been infected by a Griever and s not in the right state of mind. Strangely Thomas couldn’t seem to stop thinking about the maze and becoming a runner. Later on, Thomas meets a runner and learns that there is an abnormality in the maze; a Griever has been found dead. This ignites Thomas’s thoughts about the maze and leads the story into a great
For centuries this survival trait, had an effect on human life as its purpose was to stop humans from allowing themselves to give up knowledge or information about themselves to others. By not having the ability to put trust in others, there is a chance that the person they distrust can perceive their actions as dishonesty which can lead to more conflict. In Little Brother, the author allows the characters at many times to express the distrust they have with each other. For example Marcus had no choice but to trust Barbara the journalist and hope that she delivers his story accurately. Marcus displays at many times how he cannot trust Barbara by saying “I could see why it would be useful if I wanted to dispute what Barbara printed, though.
