How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Thomas had lived in fear and terror the past few weeks, but this was almost too much. (3.3)
Ha, and you thought the Maze was pretty bad? Well, the Scorch Trials are even worse: not only do the Gladers have to deal with Cranks and bad weather, but Thomas is also separated from Teresa. What's he going to do without her?
Quote #2
Fear surely gripped them as much as it did him. They'd been through the Maze and its horrors. They'd seen up close what WICKED was capable of doing. (13.3)
Remember, Thomas isn't the only one who is scared out of jammy-jams. We might only get his perspective, but the other Gladers (you know, the ones we would probably be if we were in this book) are probably even more scared. With good reason, too—they're not main characters, so they're way more likely to buy the farm before the book ends.
Quote #3
He ran forward on instinct, pushing past several Gladers who seemed frozen by fear, moving toward the inhuman sounds. (14.61)
When you're afraid of something—say a creepy noise or sound—the first thing you do shouldn't be to run toward it. But if you know Thomas well, you'll know that he just runs towards trouble. Does that make him brave? Stupid?
