Quote #1
Thomas looked back at his captors, feeling awkward but desperate to ask questions. Captors, he thought. Then, Why did that word pop into my head? (2.18)
Because when you assume you make an ass out of u and me.
Quote #2
For some reason the clothing here surprised Thomas; it seemed like everyone should be wearing something more menacing—like prison garb. (2.20)
It does seem strange that they weren't provided some kind of uniform. It would've been an interesting variable to add to the mix. Are they still wearing the clothes they came to the Glade in? If so… yuck.
Quote #3
"How could these walls move? They're huge, and they look like they've been standing here for a thousand years." And the idea of those walls closing and trapping him inside this place they called the Glade was downright terrifying. (4.32)
It kind of goes without saying that being enclosed in a space against your will would be terrifying, no matter who or where you are. Through a heaping pile of the unknown into the mix, though, (moving walls?) and this is just the worst.
