One part that was surprising was when the boys were discuss about how to defend themselves and leave the Maze. Minho and Newt agree, spending the night in the maze is the only choice they have."We’ll pack our stuff shuck-full so we can stay out there a few days, there’s no point in coming back here, anyway.” (249) This surprised me because Newt and Minho are give themselves a death wish but they know its the only way

One real world message the author is teaching is when the Gladers found out that they were orphans, tested in the Maze to see if they were strong enough to find a death cure in the Andes. “you’re just a few of millions orphaned. They tested thousands, chose you for the big one. The ultimate test." (366) This part of the novel shows a message that the government can control anything that they desire.

One part that surprised me was when Thomas revealed that he and Teresa designed the entire Maze and were used by the creators to do it "Teresa and I helped design the Maze. We created the whole thing." (307) This shocked me because I thought that Thomas and Teresa were like the other Gladers, determined to escape, and had no memory before entering the Glade like Thomas thinks to himself at the start of the novel.

One conflict in Chapter 26, Newt proposed that Thomas was to be thrown in the slammer for one day and then let him train to be a Keeper. If he proves himself, they'll make him the Keeper of the Runners. “Here’s my recommendation,” Newt said. “You broke our bloody Number One Rule, so you get one day in the Slammer. That’s your punishment." I know Thomas broke rule one, but Newt could have been a little bit nicer.

One part that was interesting was when Thomas noticed a Beetle Blade spying on him with the word "Wicked" written on it. "-a creepy glow on six capital letters smeared across the torso, as if they had been written with blood: WICKED." Earlier, He had seen another beetle blade with the same word on it. This made me curious about this "Wicked" is or means because I believe this word has a bigger meaning in the book.

One thing that was crutial to the plot was when, MedJacks are called to take a look at the girl. They find out that she is in a coma. One of the boys yells, asking why the MedJacks get to touch her first. Alby says that if any of them touches her, he will be banished. He did this to keep her safe. When they took her away, Thomas felt sympathy for the girl and felt a connection to her in some way he didn’t understand.
