RP#6 The Death Cure

               I am almost done reading The Death Cure by James Dashner. I found this book to be really interesting. Thomas is an exciting character but Teresa is too. Teresa is a girl who was super close to Thomas but WICKED controlled her mind to fake betray Thomas. Teresa regrets her actions and tries to get things back to normal and tries to apoligize, but Thomas just won't forgive her. For Thomas Teresa changed from his good friend to the most evil person in the world.
                I think that Thomas think's that Teresa changed because he won't forgive her and they aren't as close as they were. For example, after Teresa betrayed him the book says that Thomas never wanted to forgive her. He didn't want to trust her. She was dead to him. They were no longer close. Thomas looked at Teresa and saw the most evil person in the world. I would have felt the same way Thomas would feel if I was betrayed by a good friend. I would never feel the same about that friend as I did before. All in all Thomas isn't the only character that changes in the book.

RP#5 The Death Cure

              I am recently reading the third book of the Maze Runner series which is called The Death Cure by James Dashner. The main character is still Thomas. This time Thomas has had enough of all the trials and every single variable. He is changing. He has no motavation to move on. He has changed from an animated character to a depressed person. He doesn't want to endure the pain any longer. He basically changed his character to fit what he is feeling. I know this because it says in the book that he was done. He was no longer going to participate in WICKED'S games. All in all Thomas is a very stubborn character.
              Thomas changed from a animated leader to a depressed and stubborn person. I know because in the book it says that he was basically done. He had enough. He didn't want to go through all of the pain and suffering anymore. He had no motavation to live anymore. Thomas felt depressed knowing that no matter how much he tried the frequent tests would never end. All the anxiety and desperation to get out went to his head and got the best of him. All of this turned him to a gloomy person. I too would have been like that if I were to be subjected to tests and pain that I would have never have agreed too. All in all Thomas a character you would have to pay close attention too.

RP# 4 The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

           I have just finished reading the second book of The Maze Runner series which is called The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. It was a very exciting sequel to the first book. In this book Thomas's character changed a lot. In the beggining he let others take charge and be the boss. But towards the end he started to realize that he was infact the true leader. I know this because in the book it says that Thomas at the end of the book was faced with trials about himself. That he had to pass with his friends. He thought he wasn't the leader ast first but then everyone realized including him found out that he was the true leader that was gonna lead them to the safe haven to get out of the Scorch. All in all the Thomas changes a lot through out the book.
           Thomas ghange his character from a follower to a leader. I know this because at first he would ask others to lead the Gladers because he didn't want to. But as time went on all of them realized that Thomas was the real leader. For example, Once when a mysterious metal blob attacked the Gladers and cut ther heads off the person that helped was Thomas. He took on the role of leader very secretly, so secretly that he disn't even realize that he was giving orders to people and getting the Gladers out of the situation. Another example, is when they were attacked by cranks which are crazy people who have a disease called The Flare. The other leader Minho indangered the Gladers by attacking the crank leader Jorge. Jorge got mad and wanted to kill all of them. But Thomas fixed Minho's mistake by becoming the leader again and persuading the cranks not to kill them. All in all The Scorch Trails was an amazing book tht was thrilling and exciting. I would reccomend this book to everyone.

RP#3 The Maze Runner

          I have just recently finished reading the amazing book The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The main character was named Thomas. The book was really exciting and kept you on the edge of your seat. I felt that Thomas did what he did because he wanted to find out who put him in the maze and why. His main motavation was thinking about the family he and his fellow Gladers left behind. Those are the reasons he does what he does.
Thomas's motavation to find a solution for the maze is his curiosity about who put him there and why and also thinking about all the families that are sad because of all the kids gone. I know this because in the book it says that Thomas was wanting to find more about the creators. Thomas wanted to know who was responsible for putting him there. He wanted revenge for all of the suffering that the Gladers had been through. I would be mad and wanting revenge if I was stuck in a maze with no exit. Also his other motavation is thinking about his family and other's families. I know so because in the book it says that Thomas's friend Chuck was always asking questions about his family. Also Thomas promised Chuck that no matter what, he would reunite him with his family. That shows that Thomas was determined to reunite Chuck to his family. That was his motavation. All in all Thomas had many different motavations through out the entire book. The Maze Runner was truly a great book that I would recomend to anyone who likes sci-fi books.
