The Maze Runner
REDO
Thomas in the first chapter of The Maze Runner is very shy because he is new to a mysterious place called the Glade. He remembers nothing but his first name. He knows nothing about the Glade and is curious to find out. To find out he asks others who have the same problem but have been living in the Glade for several weeks or even years. He doesn't get helpful answers since the people of the Glade speak in a slang language. Thomas has trouble understanding the language they speak. When he doesn't get help he takes things into his own hands. He defies the leader's warning and goes into a restricted room where someone was bitten by the "Greiver". Thomas also starts speaking up for himself when the new girl arrives. This propels the story forward because it makes the reader think that Thomas may become a leader and play an important role in the Glade. Thomas says "' Captain Gally it is. He exaggerated a salute, feeling a rush of adrenaline, as he knew he'd just crossed a line." (Dashner 19). This is an example of when Thomas defies leadership in the Glade. It is hard to believe how Thomas can change so much over the course of a few chapters.
