Book 3 Project

Book 3 Project
What really goes on inside the glade, is it considered a new world? When Thomas wakes up inside the Glade the only thing he knows to be true is his name. Also, he begins to question and wonder who all these people that are surrounding him are. There was a time when Alby thought that one of the beetles that they saw had actually been a spying tactic, almost as if it we’re the person who sent them there watching them. That too also proposes a very strong argument to which whoever is sending these people here, what is the point? It’s like Thomas is sent to them as a blessing to figure the way out of the Glades.
The language is very different.
When Thomas first comes to the Glade and doesn’t really know anything other than his name, you would think that he’d still recognize what other people are saying, yet he does not. It’s almost like he’s in a new world but soon he begins to pick up on the language and talk with it. One of the funniest things about this though, is the main words that they made up are replacement curse words.

The amount of change in the Glade.
Living inside the Glade you begin to live a different way, ways that most people couldn’t. With gusts of wind silencing a whole community of people you’d be amazed by such power.  Characteristics as silence in the Glade moves people to be dumbfounded, but they still tried to make sense of it.

How easy can Thomas really adapt?
After being at the Glade for so long Thomas starts living as if everything is back to normal, but he just can’t seem to figure out why he was brought here. Chuck keeps explaining to Thomas that if he doesn’t start acting normal that things will only get worse for him. To make things even worse for himself Thomas started hearing voices inside his head and he needed to rely on Chuck to get himself together.
How is Thomas living?
Thomas is really learning how hard it actually is to live in the glade and what kind of affect it is having on him. Thomas is trying to act like he’s okay but things are starting to get him depressed and he can’t handle things. Throughout the whole book Thomas really started to develop as a character and the way he moved around the Maze was amazing.
What is Thomas’s real name?
Thomas made it a point to everyone in the Glade that they may never know what their real names are. What happens in the Glade stays in the Glade I suppose, but who knows if they make it out or no, that’s up to you to find out.  Thomas has made plenty of great impacts to the Glade and he had an interesting journey.



It’s pretty interesting to see what adventures Thomas went through but I guess I’ll get to see the rest of them through the other books.

Post #5

I mean I really don't care about what's true or not in a story, but some people do and I can't understand why. The only time I'd really care if someone changed up a story is when athletes that I look up change the struggles and life stories that they've gone through. When it's a story that is told just to be fun and interesting I feel like the author has more freedom because people are just trying to enjoy what they're reading. On the other hand I'd actually get really upset if an athlete changed their life story because that's where I find inspiration and the day I tell my own I hope that people find strength in mine. Jillian Michaels, Hope Solo and Derek Jeter have wrote some of the best non- fiction books I've ever had the honor to read and it really would change my opinion of them if they had changed what actually happened to them just to make the story sound better. I really don't care what people who write novels do because those are written to entertain and not to inform. The topics that they write about are non-fiction but some things they say are fiction and not lies, but that's still considered to be non-fiction. I really just think that we need to label everything from text books, dictionaries, biographies and then everything else. It's kind've like the internet, not everything you read is the truth.
