Except for Thomas...
Woohoo! I finally finished reading the most astounding and breathtaking book ever. Without spoiling to much, Thomas was able to find a way out of the maze with the help of his friend Minho. Thomas and Minho lead the group out of the Maze through a series of tunnels. It wasn't easy nevertheless Thomas managed to use his undaunted and cognitive ability skills to make it out just in time. In the end one of the glazers betrays Thomas and almost gets him killed. Fortunately the tables turned and the story unfolds into a path no one would have ever expected before. On the other side of the tunnels is a building that has been evacuated and Wicked is there. They take Thomas and his friends into a helicopter that is safe away from all grieves and other dangers. One question remains, where is Wicked taking Thomas and his friends?
I think the author, James Dashner wrote this to convey how our future society may be due to the advancements in technology. Theoretically the book isn't based on technology however, if you think about it the maze itself was built by the use of technology for the glazers to test their skills and strength. These mystically creatures aren't real but they are robotic and that is one major aspect of how technological advancements has made society more intelligent and detailed with certain works. I think the message of the novel is friendship relies on trust and strong connections at the end of the day. Without friendship who would we all have to look up to and inspire us to make better choices or decisions. For example, Thomas forms a close working bond with Minho which ultimately gets his friends and himself out of the Maze to safety. Our friends can be seen as repositories and reflections of our lives.
