The Scorch Trials
By James Dashner
Prompt: Write about how one character feels. Write about a time you felt that way




                 The main character Thomas felt a lot of anxiety when the walls of the maze were coming down because there were so many people in the maze ranging from babies to old men and women and he thought that it would be all of his fault if all of the people in the glade died. He thought that it was his fault because he was the one that escaped wicked so they were finding new test subjects to work on and they gathered this many people to pick out a select few.

            One time that I felt a lot of anxiety was when my dad grabbed me of the couch and said that he heard a single shot from a gun go off. we live in the country in the middle of nowhere so we keep the front and back door unlocked I mean who is going to drive 20 minutes out of town to rob somebody. So we ran up into the attic and it has a window but we were in such a frantic hurry we did not lock the door that leads up to the attic oh and just to top that off me and my dad left the phone down stairs.

We sat there and I guess we talked pretty much all night long until we both just fell sound asleep. The time that I felt the most anxiety was when my dad walked because it sounded like there was someone down stairs walking towards the attic door. but we made it through the night and it's a pretty cool experience to tell to my friends.

The Scorch Trials
By: James Dashner
Prompt: How has the view of the character changed throughout the story



     The view of the character has changed throughout my book because in the beginning of my book the main character Thomas did not trust anyone because he was to paranoid and afraid of being lied to again so he was always really high on alert. He showed that he was paranoid because when they were in the city they met a man that could help them on their quest but Thomas said that he did not trust the man and then Thomas said in is mind "How do I know that this is just not another one of WICKEDS variables."


       Now by the end of the story he is way more trust worthy that he was before. He shows that he is trust worthy by putting his life in the hands of a girl that he knows and she used to work for wicked but he was not for sure at first but then she gives him an explanation of why he should trust her which was that she and him were put into the scorch and everything they did was real and not fake and that she bonded to him more that she could have imagined.



          Prompt 2: What do you think will happen in the future of the book.

    What I think will happen in the future of the book is that Thomas is going to get tricked by wicked when he goes in and tries to break all of their guns. I think this because when Thomas met his old friend  his fried said not to trust anyone because they were being mine controlled so they did not know if they were being made to go and break into wicked because it could be a trap and he is suppost to break all of their guns.
