Divided: A Short Story
David: Welcome Thomas, we are very glad you came.
Thomas: Thanks! I am happy to be here.
David: We invited you here to ask you questions about your last several weeks during the trials. These trials must had been very hard on you and your friends.
Thomas: Yes, those weeks were the hardest times of my life, and the only ones I can remember.
David: Why is that?
Thomas: When WICKED first gathered all of their test subjects, they erased most of our memories. We could remember the names of objects, our names, but nothing before we entered the maze.
David: Wow! That must have been very difficult for you and your friends. You mentioned WICKED, what exactly is that?
Thomas: WICKED is an organization that was developed to find a cure for the

Thomas: I would rather see Newt resting peacefully than running around crazy eating other people like zombies.
David: I understand.
Thomas: Sadly, that was not the hardest decision to make.
David: What could be worse than that?
Thomas: Me and my friends tried to take over WICKED’s headquarters. I volunteered to enter the facility and distract WICKED so my friends could take down WICKED.
David: Why would you volunteer?
Thomas: WICKED told me I was their final candidate. They needed me to finish the blueprint and finish the trials.
David: Did this plan work?
Thomas: Not at first, when I first came to WICKED’s headquarter they greeting me and said they needed my brain to finish the blueprint.
David: So they had to kill you?
Thomas: Yes.
David: That must have been an easy decision.
Thomas: Not really, they made it sound like they really were almost finished with the cure.
David: Were you willing to give up your life to help find a cure to save humanity?
Thomas: It took a long time but I decided that the world was already lost and too late for a cure.
David: I understand.
David: Well, did you and your friends succeed in taking over WICKED’s

    Maze Runner

    From the beginning of the book, Thomas was always courageous. Even though he lost his memory and did not know where he was, he did not break down, and he tried to adapt with the new environment. His first heroic act happened when he ran out of the Glade into the Maze to save Minho and the injured Alby, when they could not come back to the Glade before the Doors closed. Knowing that he had to stay in the Maze the whole night to fight against the Grievers, they were deadly mechanical monsters that came out at night to kill humans, Thomas was not concerned about his own safety. When Minho abandoned Thomas and Alby, instead of fleeing to save himself and leave Alby behind, Thomas pulled Alby off the ground and wrapped him with vines, to keep him away from the Grievers. Not only did Thomas help Alby get out of harm way, he ran the opposite way to distract the Grievers from finding Alby’s hiding spot. Thomas bravely fought the Grievers and tricked them to roll off the cliff.…

    But there is no body to be found, and the place where he saw it before looks like nothing had ever lain there. In the end, no reality has been found, no facts have been established. All he is left with is a grainy, blurry blowup of what could be a body or just as easily could be a bush. The film ends with Thomas watching some white faced students mime at playing imaginary tennis. Interested, he watches and even begins to participate with them, throwing back the imaginary ball when it bounces out of the court. And in the last scene, we see that he has disappeared from where he was standing. This is Antonioni's final thought, that everything shown is unreal, that there is no truth to be established here. The harder we seek for truth, the less there is to…
