The Maze Runner : Welcome
Lately Hollywood has been the producing movies that gives us some suspense, adventure, and action. Now, it is all about the survival of the fittest in the movies. We often find in these movies children surviving in the wood, or an abandon place, or a group of teenagers fighting to have some food.

I like this part of the movie because the mystery of Thomas is being solved. The girl recognized him but he does not recognize her. The leader of the gladers told Thomas that he had jeopardized the peace between the gladers and Grievers because of his actions. The leader wanted to punish Thomas but the second in command of the runner did not oppose himself to save Thomas. When Teresa arrived she had two syringes with unknown substance, they use it on the runner who was stung was a Griever. He started to recover slowly with his memory along. I was very confused and impress in this scene because the glader who recover his memory seeing Thomas and Teresa running test on them which made it confusing , and I was impress because it only took the side effect of a substance to trigger a memory. Meanwhile Thomas and the leader of the runners were looking at a replica of the maze made by the leader after spending three years in the glade. Thomas decide to go in the other section of the maze which was unexplored to see if there is a possible exit. I was very amazed to see that when they went in there Thomas had a feeling of déjà vu more like he recognized the sign on the wall. I was sure that he would fulling recover his memory but he did not. In a farther scene I was left speechless by the action of Thomas who blaming him for the death of the others which push him to stabs himself with a Griever stinger to trigger his memory. Unconscious, he get some flashes of him and Teresa working for the people who made the maze W.C.K.D (World in Catastrophe: Killzone Department). When he regain consciousness he told the others the truth. They were all test
In The Maze Runner, Thomas recalls nothing of his life except for his name. He finds himself surrounded by a bunch of boys. Like all the other Gladers, Thomas appears in the Glade terrified and disoriented. However, he senses a powerful bond to the Maze. He quickly exhibits courage and confidence when he saves Alby and Minho from the Grievers after they had to spend the night in the Maze.
But just before the cops could take him to get unwound, he runs away preventing his parts from saving lives and keeping his own life instead. In The Maze Runner, Thomas and his friends, after they get out of the maze trials, resent the people behind everything they had just been through, even
Now Thomas from The Maze Runner has to keep moving he doesn’t look back he has to keep on moving forward (or backwards, wherever the maze takes him). Besides Chuck (which was probably his best friend at the time) he left them for
In the Maze Runner, directed by Wes Ball, Chuck is a vital character in the movie who symbolizes innocence. Chuck is the youngest boy in the Glade and he is a bit on the chubby side as well. These characteristics alone already differentiate Chuck from the rest of the boys. Chuck befriended Thomas the first day he was welcomed to the Glade. Throughout the movie, Chuck portrays his innocence by believing in Thomas’s abilities, choosing not to participate in savage-like practices, and dying at the hands of Gally to save Thomas.
One difference I have come to notice among the movie and book of Maze Runner is Thomas and Alby's relationship. I have found that in the book, Alby's description is portraying a rude person. He doesn't seem to like having Thomas around and doesn't even seem to acknowledge that he has one more person to help out at the glade. As it says in the book, "A dark-skinned boy frowned above him." This excerpt from Maze Runner shows the aggressive actions that Alby displayed towards Thomas in the book. In the movie, Alby welcomes Thomas to the glade. He takes more of a mentor role, and not a rude leader that doesn't like Thomas.
