I personally think that the ending of my book was very well done because it left me wanting to know what's going to happen in the next book. Basically, there is a huge twist at the end and everyone inside realizes they're in a giant man made maze, where the creators are testing each and every one of them, killing them off until only the ones they deem fit remain. This shocks everyone, especially Thomas. Thomas got stung by a griever and once he was injected with the cure he started going through a horrible recovery and in his dreams he got some of his memories back. Before they all faded away he discovered that he had helped create the maze. At the end of the book we realize that the maze is one of many trials and everyone in them are being tested. Once they escape the maze, someone kills Thomas's best friend, throwing a knife into his heart, and that's what finally makes him snap, swearing his revenge on the people who are putting him through this.
Apparently these trials are for a greater good and they can save lives, do you think that it's fair to put kids through them, based off of what they go through and the things they're forced to see?

Absolutely not, but because of the situation in behind the creators of the maze it almost seems like a good reason to find the best deemed humans for survival in whatever they need them for. I think this challenge is made to harden the participants of the maze making them almost as super humans, and the only way to single them out is to see who has the knowledge to survive the reapers and understand the maze.
ReplyDeleteYea no what kind of greater good when they are going to kill them in the first place. No I do not think that it is fair to put kids through them, because its clear that they wont be able to survive with little or no knowledge. If they are forced to see people being kill now then what kind of hate will they have towards the people later.
ReplyDeleteI would say it's not because they are just kids. If they were adults and fully aware of the consequences of what may happen then I'd say sure, because its their decision to make. Right now this just sounds like the mentality of the spartan civilization of ancient Greece.
ReplyDeletePersonally i think this is an absurd way to help "save" lives, because all you are doing is keeping these kids trapped, killing them in this maze to see who is more fit to remain. It is completely unfair to the kids because they had no idea as to what was going on throughout the book until the end. In the movie i know they were drugged and don't remember who they are, where they came or anything that was going. I would assume the same thing happens in the book, and this is something no one should have taken away from them. I also agree with Stevens comment because they are kids, unless they decided to do this on their own they shouldn't have to be forced to do something they don't want to do.
