The Maze Runner Chapter 32 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
Thomas felt a trickle of doubt that life was so great back home—what kind of world allowed people to make kids live like this? The thought surprised him, as if its source had been founded in actual memory, a wisp of light in the darkness of his mind. But it was already gone. (32.18)
How much of his other thoughts must be formulated based on these wisps of memory? Like his feeling that the Glade is a prison—was that based on something he used to know, or just an assumption? Hmmm…
Quote 2
"We always have at least eight Runners, including the Keeper. One for each Section. It takes us a whole day to map out our area—hoping against hope there's an exit—then we come back and draw it up, a separate page for each day." Minho glanced over at one of the trunks. "That's why those things are shuck full of Maps." (32.49)
It's actually kind of amazing that there are eight kids there who want to explore as much as Thomas does. It must be a pretty strong urge to choose Running over peacefully playing in the gardens all day.
"Life in the Glade might not be sweet livin', but at least it's safe. Plenty of food, protection from the Grievers…" (32.61)
There's a certain amount of security that comes from routine. Although life in captivity isn't optimal, it can have its benefits. They aren't dealing with the Flare, after all.
