Versions of Reality Quotes in The Scorch Trials

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

Surely he was still asleep, dreaming. For some reason, that thought alone seemed to amplify his hunger... (10.17)

Hmm, maybe Thomas was dreaming about hamburgers and hot dogs. Or, maybe he was dreaming about what it used to be like before he was stuck in that darn Maze. Oh, well—either way, we guess dreaming makes Thomas hungry.

Quote #2

"All I will say is that sometimes what you see is not real, and sometimes what you do not see is real." (10.46)

With this warning from Rat Man, the Gladers find themselves stuck in a Catch-22: if reality isn't what it seems, what can they possibly do?

Quote #3

He knew he should tell them about his memory-dreams, but he just couldn't. (25.37)

If Thomas won't tell anyone about his memory-dreams, then their realities will just become foggier. Thomas should tell people his memories so that people can somehow figure out what's going on; by keeping his memories to himself, Thomas puts himself in a different version of reality from what others experience.
