Thomas In The Maze Runner

The Thomas Theorem is a sociological theorem developed in 1928 by W.I. Thomas and D.S. Thomas that states, “if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” In other terms, how a person interprets the reality of a situation determines the ramifications of the situation. There are several occurrences of the Thomas Theorem within the movie Crash, most notably when Jean reacts in blind fear to the presence of Anthony and Peter, when Daniel’s daughter attempts to protect her father with her “invisible cloak,” and when Officer Hansen shoots Peter.

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?

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.

Cleverness is key in a hero, Odysseus consistently needing to outsmart his foes. As seen in the Odyssey, “Penelope... would seem a shade in your majesty”. In this part of the story Odysseus knows offending Calypso wouldn’t end well, so he flatters her in a way to do what he wishes. Showing his skill in speech. This gives people who read, and example of someone who is clever. Odysseus shows being smart can definitely help you and sometimes save your life. Another example of the cleverness is when Odysseus says, “My name is Nohbdy” to the cyclops, knowing the cyclops, once blinded and injured would call, “Nohbdy's tricked me! Nohbdy’s ruined me”. This shows that being clever also includes thinking ahead of your situation, which can have tremendous benefits to you if you make the right decision. Which is exactly what Odysseus does. The second trait, but maybe the most

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.

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

The romance narrative involves childhood, initiation, underworld, and temptation. . However, Dashner leaves out the childhood stage, where we connect and get to know the hero, in The Maze Runner.

Additionally, The Maze Runner has some strength but still like every other book there is a weakness. Mostly, the strengths in this story are the characters.

A post-apocalyptic world with zombie creatures and humanity on the brink — been there, survived that, right? Somehow, a completely cliché scenario works in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials the second movie based on James Dashner’s young-adult adventure trilogy.
