Section 1- Quotes
“I’m sorry guys, I’m sorry, but I need you to listen to me, I’m getting worst by the hour and I don’t have many sane ones left, please leave me here.”
This quote is the character development of newts character, it is showing us just how much he is willing to do to make sure that the others succeed in finding a cure for the flare.
“What a surprise, she lied again”
This quote is another development of character. This is developing Teresa’s character. It is showing how little trust that the group has in Teresa because of how much she lies to the others.
“On the outside, in the streets, they call people like you Munies, they really, really hate you”
This is an example of setting development, this quote lets us see the real hatred of people in the book who are immune to the deceases like Thomas and the group that he is in, it also helps me understand why some things happen when they happen.
