One of the themes of this book is to trust one another. When Thomas first entered Glade, Gally
and Ben, who had gone through the Changing (a process which would heal somebody
who was stung by a Griever while their memories will be bought back), both said
that Thomas was bad. Then, Alby was stung by the Griever and went through
the Changing. Actually, brave Thomas ran to the maze to help Minho and
sick Alby just before the walls closed though he knew that he would be killed
and would maybe be eaten by the Griever. Luckily, they all survived and
as Thomas was heroic, he was not killed, but was put in the Slammer, which was
like a prison, for one day.
Also, I
understand that co-operation is very important. Like the last part when
Thomas and Teresa need to go to the Griever Hole to type in the code in order
to get out of Glade, all the other Gladers need to fight the horrible Grievers
or even sacrifice themselves in order to help Thomas Teresa to get into the
Griever Hole. Alby, their leader is one of the greatest examples. A
few days before their escape, Gally came and said that the Griever would pick
and kill one of the Gladers. Alby thought that the Griever would just
pick on one of them and let the others in, so he threw himself towards the
swarm of gigantic Griever and just let them kill him. Unluckily, he was
wrong and at last the Griever killed half of them. I was even shocked
when Chuck, Thomas's best friend, sacrificed himself for Thomas when Gally
threw a dagger towards Thomas. Chuck was like Thomas's shield dived in
front of him to protect him. It was really touching.
This book is the best one ever. I love it very much. Every
bits of this book contains surprises you will never expect.
