The Maze Runner Chapter 3 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
His memory loss was strange. He mostly remembered the workings of the world—but emptied of specifics, faces, names. Like a book completely intact but missing one word in every dozen, making it a miserable and confusing read. He didn't even know his age. (3.22)
When is memory loss normal? Well, outside of soap opera amnesia, that is. Then it happens with surprising frequency, although usually not to teenagers.
Quote 2
He wished for all the world he could remember something about his previous life. Anything. His mom, his dad, a friend, his school, a hobby. A girl. (3.75)
Is this a bit of foreshadowing? Could the girl be Teresa, or is he just generalizing?
"Chuck, how… old do you think I am?"
The boy scanned him up and down. "I'd say you're sixteen. And in case you were wondering, five foot nine… brown hair. Oh, and ugly as fried liver on a stick." […]
Sixteen? He was sixteen? He felt much older than that. (3.23)
We all feel older than we are… until you hit about 50. That's when you start to say "Yeah, I'm 65 but I feel like I'm 20 again." Side note: has anyone ever seen fried liver on a stick? We're wondering exactly where Chuck got this analogy from.
