One part that made me feel relieved was when Minho told Thomas that they hid the maps. Minho and Newt hid the maps when Theresa said that she triggered the ending. In the text it says, "We hid the freaking Maps in the weapons room, put dummies in their place. Because of Alby's warning and the so called ending your girlfriend triggered"(271). This relieved me because it means that they can still find out the code.

One strange part was when the Griever Jumped off of the cliff. Minho and Thomas were following the Griever until it went to the side of the cliff and rolled off. In the text it says, "Then Thomas stared in shock as up ahead the Griever dug in with it's spikes and spun forward right up to the Cliff's edge, then off, into the grey abyss". This shows that that it was strange when the Griever jumped off of the cliff.

One surprising part was when Minho said that Thomas should become Keeper of The Runners. At the council meeting Minho was asked his thought of the topic of what to do with Thomas. He said that he should become Keeper of The Runners. Everyone thought he was joking. Minho said in the text, "I nominate this shank to replace me as Keeper of The Runners". This shows that it was shocking when Minho requested this.

One trait to describe Thomas is brave. Thomas went into the maze to try and help Alby and Minho from getting stuck in the maze even though Newt was telling him to not do it because he will die. In the book Newt says, "Don't do it, Tommy! Don't you bloody do it!". The text says, "Thomas knew he had no choice. He moved. Forward."...."The walls shut behind him". This shows that Thomas is brave for going into danger.

One surprising part was when a girl showed up in the box at the Glade. When a girl showed up in the box everyone was in disbelief and at a loss of words. In the text Alby murmured, "No Way." Newt also said, "Holy. . ."This proves that the boys were confused and shocked when a girl showed up at the Glade in the box.
