Good Author, Good Story

Summary
The final chapters of my book starts when Thomas tell the leaders that the only way out of the maze was through the Griever hole, they just need to put the code in a computer and the Grievers will die. That night 41 Gladers went in the maze, dozens of grievers where waiting for them. The Gladers distract the Grievers while Thomas, Teresa and Chuck entered the Griever hole and killed the Grievers. They found an open door and the creators and Gally were waiting for them. When the creator start explaining everything a rescue squad with guns arrived and put all the gladers in a bus. In the bus, the rescuers explained that the world had a disease and that all of them where orphans used for a scientific experiment.

Interesting Thought Throughout The Book
“‘It’s almost a suicide,’ Thomas said, knowing he was putting off the answer. ‘The Grievers will come after us whenever we try to do it. All of them. The final test.’ …
‘So where is it?’ Newt asked, leaning forward in his chair.
‘Over the Cliff,’ Thomas answered. ‘We have to go through the Griever Hole.’” (Dashner 309).

Yes, I knew it! I had predicted that they will go through the Griever Hole to investigate but this is better, they are getting out of the maze. If I was part of the Gladers I listen to this I wouldn’t know if I will be happy for finding a way out of here or sad because the way is a suicide. I would not like to be in that position I will not be braver to decide if going or staying.

“She glanced over at her companion, then reached out and pull the hood off the boy. He looked up, his eyes wet with tears. Every Glader in the room sucked in a breath of surprise. Thomas felt his knees buckle. It was Gally:” (Dashner 354).

Gally!!! He was supposed to be death.
If the grievers took him, Why is he the only one that survived the Grievers? Also,why did the Gladers had to risk their life and Gally just survived? I really do not understand why did the creators safe him.

Final Ideas And Conclusions 

I really liked this book; definitely want to read the one that comes after this to see what their future is. I am also going to read more books about James Dashner, I love how he describes everything, all the clues and mysteries he uses in the story. I will rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 because only the ending was a little quick but I like the rest of the book. I had a nice summer reading this book as I predicted.

Risking Their Life

Summary
This week reading start when Thomas and Minho return to tell the good news about the Griever hole they discovered and they found out two things: The girl was awake and the doors did not close that night. The girl named Teresa become Thomas’ friend, and that night the Grievers appeared and just took one person: Gally. The next day Thomas had an idea: they should compare the maps of each day of the maze. They discover a few words that did not make sense so Thomas had another risky idea. The next night he got a Griever attention and he made it stun him on purpose. After all the process of pain he recovered and he had the memories that where needed to get out of the maze.

Interesting Thought Throughout The Book
“‘Slim it, boys! I just wanted to see if they went towards the Cliff. Towards the Griever Hole.’
‘And?’ Thomas said.
‘Bingo.’ Minho wiped sweat from his forehead.”(Dashner 261)

Minho is one of the most smart and brave person in the glade. He risked his life following the grievers just to get important information for the entire glade. I do not think I could had done something similar; I would not had the guts to follow a Griever.

“They needed more clues about the code. They needed Memories. So, he was going to get stung by a Griever. Go through the Changing. On purpose.”(Dashner 291)

I wish that I could be as brave as Thomas, first entering the maze at night, then help Alby, defeating the grievers, and now decided to combat a griever just to be stung by him. He is also smart because he always have plans that works perfectly. When I read this I did not knew why he was decided to do that but I knew that he was going to work and help them with solving the maze.


Final Ideas And Conclusions
As the entire book, these chapters had just being as exiting. I love how people in the maze risk their lives just to get out as soon as possible. It is easy to see how people help each other. No one does something for his own benefit, they always think in the entire Glade. I predict that at the end of the book Thomas is going to scape. I cant wait to know!
