The Scorch Trials blog #3

How can someone you've been through so much with just betray you? Will Thomas ever be able to trust Teresa again, any of his gladers? If he is really the leader what does this say about himself? Thomas spends the last few chapters of this novel finding who he is as a person. When Teresa and Aris betray him and put him into a gas chamber, Thomas feels he can trust anyone. Why would Teresa and Aris betray Thomas just as an act? 

After many long, treacherous nights, Group B and the gladers finally make it to Safe Haven. Brenda and George were promise and cure but were not let in to the Safe Haven. Because Thomas now knows he has power within WCKD he uses it to his advantage, saving both Brenda and George, but they were not given the cure. The safe haven wasn't much besides a welcoming stick that said that they have made it. Safe haven was the complete opposite of safe. Instead it was full of dangerous creatures, causing each man or woman to fend and fight for themselves These creatures were easier to defeat than Grievers. When Thomas arrives to the pilot, his world takes a 360. The next time Thomas wakes up hes in a completely different place. The only thing he can recall is having a conversation with Teresa, the last words she whispered to him were "WICKED is good." Flashing back to the first few chapters of this novel, Thomas at first had no idea he was apart of WCKD until Brenda and George were honest with him. Is WCKD good? Is WCKD bad? Thomas seems to be conflicted with whether or not WCKD does the things they do for the good of things.

Something to consider after reading this novel is, how will the next one begin? Will Thomas play a long with WCKD to find out what it really is about? I believe Thomas may want to find out more about WCKD, just like your average kid hes curious as to why this is happening to him. I predict he will be put into another zone but there will be multiple obstacles standing in his way, preventing him from succeeding in the next zone. I also predict Thomas will either end up dying or getting hurt because of WCKD. I feel that Thomas isn't fully valuable to WCKD, they had the chance to kill him when he got shot in the shoulder but instead they saved him. What does that say about WCKD'S character?  The biggest question that is a cliff hanger is  is if Thomas will continue his journey with his Gladers and Teresa or this next book starting a new chapter in his life. I feel that the next novel will be a continuation of the same story but with many changes involved with the character's and how Thomas thinks. Thomas plays a big role in every novel, I would love to see him make a difference in WCKD.
