Thomas cares

Thomas (In the maze runner) cares for people even if he doesn't know them. Over the book thomas does countless things that help people he bearly knows like when he saved Minho and Alby. Thomas puts the lives of others over his own. Thomas shows everyone in the glade that even though he was the greenie (new kid) he has a lot of courage.
      One example of thomas putting the lives of others over his was when he broke the number 1 rule of the glade, "No going into the maze if not a runner!". Minho and Alby went to check something in the maze, but unexpected things happened making them to far away to the gates of the glade before they closed. Thomas was watching and couldn't stand to watch  two gladers die in the maze, so in a rescue attempt thomas stepped into the maze. With all three of them being in the maze, Minho took off thinking there was no chance of survival, but thomas in his gut knew he had to try, before the grievers got them. so with alby unconscious, thomas was trying to find away to keep the grievers from alby, before they got there. he finally had the idea to get alby high up the wall so grievers wouldn't notice him. he then got the grievers attention leading them away until morning, saving alby's life with help from minho.
       Another example of his courage is him telling chuck (youngest glade) that he would do anything he can to get chuck out of the glade back to his old family. Thomas was willing to put his life on the line in order to get chuck out of the glade, out of the maze. Sadly enough as soon as they got out of the maze chuck saved thomas's life sacrificing himself. it brought thomas to tears seeing how he tried so hard to get chuck out of the glade. but this shows thomas was willing to put his life up in order to save chuck.
        In conclusion thomas has showed many times through out the book that he cared for people even if he didnt know them that well like minho and alby. thomas always thinks there is away to help giving him a optimistic characteristic.
