The Maze Runner

"If you don't give up and you try hard enough you will eventually succeed"
“I promised him!” he screamed, realizing even as he did so that his voice was laced with something wrong. Almost insanity.” I promised I’d save him and take him home! I promised him!”( Dashner Pg.358) This is a quote in the book “The Maze Runner”.
This was Thomas( the main character) screaming basically saying that he isn't giving up until he does what he promised his friend Chuck. He promised Chuck that he would find him a stable life with a loving family. He wasn't going to let Chuck down so he was going into the maze to get Chuck that loving family and take him home.That shows determination and courage. Even though the other kids didn't think it was safe Thomas knew what he had to do.
"If you don't give up and you try hard enough you will eventually succeed"
“You get lazy, you get sad, and then you start givin’ up. Plain and simple.” ( Dashner Pg.77)
This quote is also by Thomas. He was talking to Alby saying that if he starts to give up he would forget what they were there to do and what they had to accomplish. He knew that if they all gave up they are basically dead. Thomas had to step up and show them that they weren't finished. He knew he was going to get through this maze and he wouldn't leave anyone behind.
"If you don't give up and you try hard enough you will eventually succeed"
“I'm gonna save us all! I'm gonna save us from the flare! Don't believe a world they tell ya! I'm gonna save us from the flare, ya here!” ( Dashner Pg.362).
This is another quote by Thomas. He said this to the people he had in the maze. He told them that because everyone was losing hope and getting sick, but Thomas was strong and determined to get through so he motivated them and got them out.
