"Are they changed because they want to go back to their old life or is it because they're so depressed at realizing their old life was no better than what we have now?" -Thomas
"Because people willing to send Grievers after us give us an easy way out." -Minho
"Then why bother coming out here?" -Thomas "Why bother? Because it's here - gotta be a reason. But if you think were gonna find a nice little gate that leads to happy town." -Minho "... Minho gather the runners to give them the news and organized them for the big journey. He was surprised at how everyone agreed that it was time to do some more in-depth exploring of the maze and stayed out overnight." -Thomas
"You all know the plan. After two years of being treated like mice, tonight we're making a stand. Tonight we're taking the fight back to the Creators, no matter what we have to go through to get there. Tonight the Grievers better be scared." -Newt

Retell
The Maze Runner by James Dashner, a bunch of teenagers trapped in the Glade, Thomas, Chuck, Minho, Newt and Alby want to find a way to get out of the Glade as the other teenagers have been trying for two years, but the maze gets in the way they've been trying to figure it out from the start, there has to be a reason why it's there. Each and everyday every teen in the Glade has their own jobs to do such as Runners, Sloppers, etc. they will live like everything is normal.
Relate
Thomas has been the one to keep everything to himself, he was afraid to speak for himself and for what he had to say, reminds me of myself because I'm pretty much the same way in certain situations where I don't have the guts to speak up on something overall I do keep a lot of things to myself, such as my opinions on something, what I want to say to someone, etc.
The creators of the Maze, their company was called called WICKED, made me think of a verse in the song Diamond on a Landmine by Billy Talent "She's in control of everything. I'm just a puppet you pull my strings. Denying truth, I'll test my faith and keep on playing this wicked game." WICKED is control of everything in the maze, the "Gladers" (what the teens call themselves) are just the puppets to the creators they're being tested in an experiment and they're the rats. No matter what situation everyone always deny the truth because they don't want to believe that bad things will happen even if they no it will but yet they still keep living in the "wicked game" that they're in, living like everything is normal. In this world we still conform to the government taking control of everything and we still deny that we don't let them.
