The Maze Runner Chapter 15 Quotes
The Maze Runner Chapter 15 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
"You better stop this nonsense, before others hear about it. That's not how it works around here, and our whole existence depends on things working." […] "Order," Newt continued, "Order. You say that bloody word over and over in your shuck head. Reason we're all sane around here is 'cause we work our butts off and maintain order. Order's the reason we put Ben out – can't very well have loonies runnin' around tryin' to kill people, now can we? Order. Last thing we need is you screwin' that up." (15.65)
They banished Ben to preserve their precious order, but was there an alternative that would've worked just as well? And Thomas throws off all of their order pretty quickly—why don't they banish him?
Quote 2
"Only seen three Banishments, Tommy. All as nasty as the one you peeped on last night. But every buggin' time, the Grievers leave the collar on our doorstep. Gives me the willies like nothin' else." (15.27)
Sometimes subtlety can be more frightening than anything else. "Here, have your collar back, boys, we don't need it… just come out and play…" (Grievers wringing their hands together and twisting their handlebar moustaches while softly cackling.)
Quote 3
Thomas couldn't imagine going out that way, but based on Ben's last moments, psychotically thrashing and spitting and screaming, he no longer doubted the importance of the Glade rule that no one should enter the Maze except Runners, and then only during the day. (15.3)
And yet, merely one chapter later, he goes ahead and throws that rule out the window.
