Challenges Faced In The Death Cure By James Dashner
In The Death Cure by James Dashner, the characters had to face many new challenges to get through what happened after the trials. The two groups from the maze met each other, and W.I.C.K.E.D gave them the option to receive their memories back. These were taken when they entered the maze. Most of them said yes, but Thomas, Minho, Newt, Jorge, and Brenda choose not to get their memories back because they were suspicious of what W.I.C.K.E.D might do to their minds when they have the opportunity to alter them. Before, they were having to do testing for W.I.C.K.E.D to be able to find a cure for the Flare. Once the majority of the group got their memories back, they left Thomas and the others. Now the remaining group must get out of W.I.C.K.E.D’s …show more content…
Thomas and the others become a part of this organization and a few days later, they began to overthrow W.I.C.K.E.D’s headquarters. Thomas was sent to the headquarters to distract the security, but they told Thomas that all they needed to find a cure was to remove his brain, which would be fatal. He realized that by sacrificing his life, he could save many others, so he agreed. Luckily, the chief surgeon stopped the procedure and left him a note for what to do in order to save himself, his friends, and about two hundred other people who were immune to The Flare. The note also told him how to escape W.I.C.K.E.D and begin a safe new life to start the human race all over again. He followed the instructions, which included having to betray The Right Arm, and having Newt and Teresa die, but they teleported to a healthy forest, ready to start a new …show more content…
With cities falling left and right, betrayal at every turn, and friends dying right in front of their eyes, it made the story very exciting. Having the world fall apart day by day, time was truly of the essence throughout the book. When the group finds out that W.I.C.K.E.D is searching for them, they go into the real world which is like a story in itself. Cranks are hiding in the streets, and they have to get through the city’s security without them recognizing the group. If the city did find out who Thomas and the others were, they would be sent back to W.I.C.K.E.D for more tests to find a cure that is now officially non-existent. It ends with a cliffhanger of not knowing what is going to happen to those who are immune which makes you dwell on future possibilities long after you have finished the

    The general argument made by the author, André da Loba, in his work Expanding the Right to Die, is that ill people should be able to decide to end their own lives and pass up a long and drawn out death. He writes “A 29-year-old woman with terminal brain cancer has announced a campaign to support physician-assisted suicide leading up to her own death next month.” In this passage, the author is suggesting that people should have the right to choose their time of death during life ending conditions. In conclusion, the author’s belief is that people suffering should be allowed to have a physician-assisted suicide. In my view, the author is right because people don’t deserve to suffer.…

    Author of the popular book series A Song of Ice and Fire once said, “I try to make readers feel they’ve lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just got more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it.” When a character dies in a story there is a sort of shock the reader receives when that death actually happens. Although Clarisse died very early in the book, most people would have some sort of reaction towards her death whether it be sadness or confusion or both Bradbury gets a response from the reader. Clarisse’s untimely death on page 29 not only affected Bradbury’s readers it also affected the characters of…

    Imagine a life so different than the life you live now, where the things you value the most are forbidden and the punishment is so severe, it’s almost not worth living. In the book Fahrenheit 451, life and death are major topics throughout the story. There are also symbols that represent life and death, such as fire. In the story, the fire may not kill them but it is still a symbol of death. Life and death are two completely opposite concepts, yet they feed off of each other. There can’t be death without life. And nothing can be alive and dead at the same time, but ray Bradbury has creatively made it seem possible as he describes the world that farenheit 451 lives in. Many people in our society and in the book go to major extents for the things…

    Do you fear death? It can be a terrifying thing. We can prolong it, but we can not escape it. Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Masque of the Red Death,” is an allegory of how unavoidable death is. There are many visual descriptions in the story to symbolize death. The use of this language and symbolism can be seen in the seventh room, the ebony clock and the fire. In this complex story, Edgar Allan Poe incorporates gob-smacking diction to portray the fearfulness of this “red death” along with vivid imagery of the situation, and symbolism to fully convey that death is inevitable.…
