Thomas The Maze Runner

The title The Death Cure, seems almost oxymoronic, falsely true. From the first book, The Maze Runner, it seems like WICKED is desperately searching for a cure that could possibly prevent the extinction of the human race from the Flare. Mainly, The Death Cure is focusing on the cure to the disease. But as we read on, it seems like there was never a cure, but death. The cure looks like it could be letting everyone who has been infected, die while the immunes get to start over. WICKED should have been searching for a way to stop the spread of the disease instead of finding a cure for death, which has been their main problem.

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.

Thomas enters the Glade the same way a baby is welcomed into the world. They come out with no memories of the womb and they do not know anything, not even their name. Therefore, they are confused, like Thomas and just want to cry. Slowly, however, they are taught things until they can function on their own. This helps show that one of the symbols in The Maze Runner is the maze itself, as it symbolizes life and how complex it is. As life does not follow one rule but instead has many obstacles and Unforeseen events which is like the twists and turns in the maze. In life there are the nice straight paths these are when nothing is wrong and life seems easy. Then there are times where there are twists and turns, this is when in your life a hard

Being scared: As you are sent away while you 're young to a mysterious place with no memories of the past.

Since Thomas knows that it is immoral to lie, he stands behind his braveness and

The Maze Runner, written by James Dashner is the first book in the Maze Runner pentalogy. The story follows the adventures of a sixteen-year-old boy named Thomas, who finds himself waking up in the heart of a labyrinth, titled ‘The Glade’. As it turns out there are many teenage boys accompanying Thomas. The aim is to escape from the labyrinth, but this does not go as effortlessly as it sounds, due to the fact that the labyrinth is constructed by the inexplicable and threatening WICKED (World In Catastrophe Killzone Experiment Department). At nightfall, the walls of the labyrinth move and barricade the four entrances of the labyrinth. The walls prevent the boys from being attacked by creatures called grievers, who walk around the labyrinth every night. Survival intuition, faith and friendship are some of the themes portrayed in the book. In the film adaptation of The Maze Runner, there are three highly visible differences in comparison to the book. In the first place, Dashner delightfully depicts the thought processes of the protagonist in the book, whilst in the film this is not portrayed at all. Secondly, the time frame of the film is diminished, which makes the story less plausible. Lastly, the strong characters Dashner developed for the books are nullified in the film adaptation. Therefore,
