Maze Runner

          The book "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner is about a boy named Thomas that comes to a place called the glade with no memory of his past when strange things start to happen and problems arise. He has small enemies within the glade but even more in the terrible maze that surrounds it. In the book the gladers have many different feelings about their pasts  and getting everyones old lives and memories back.
            In the book Thomas has many different feelings about his situation with his loss of memory. An example is in the beginning how he thinks "My name is Thomas, he thought. That ... that was the only thing he could remember about his life." This shows how confused he was when he was first introduced to the glade. Another example of his feelings is when he starts crying after talking to Chuck about their families. This shows how lonely he feels and how he longs to be  with his family in the place where he belongs .  Another example is how he regards his main enemy inside the glade named Gally with not anger but with pity because he saw Thomas in a vision after he was stung by a griever. This shows Thomas' main feelings about his memory and past throughout the course of the book.
            In the book not only Thomas but many other characters experienced different feelings about their lost memories and forgotten pasts. An example of this is how emotional Chuck got while talking with Thomas about their possible pasts. Another example is how Gally Thomas' enemy in the book feels very suspicious about Thomas because he saw him in a vision with the creators of their prison. Thomas realizes this and feels guilty about what he might have done so he tries to make up for it. One more example is how Newt treats him fairly well but sort of suspiciously it is show in the book when Newt tells him to leave their important meetings because he thinks that Gally may be onto something.This shows the different feelings of some of the books secondary characters about how their forgotten memories have affected them.
            This shows the different feelings about their past and the desire to remember for some of  the different characters in the book "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner and how they affected themselves and the other characters around them by their feelings about their pasts.
