The Power of Friendship

by Xavier Markowitz

  I am reading The Death Cure by James Dashner. It is the third and final book in The Maze Runner series. There is a group of main characters throughout the story but there are two that are very close. Their names are Minho And Thomas. I think that they affect each others personality and actions. "He hadn't realized how important it was that Minho still believed in him. It went halfway to giving him the courage he needed to do what he had to do". I think this quote from the book is a meaningful line because it shows how close these two characters are.

These two characters have affected each other in a big way and I think this quote shows that. When it says, "He hadn't realized how important it was that Minho still believed in him". This tells me that Thomas cares what Minho thinks about him but it also shows that Minho cares and believes in Thomas. Throughout the book Minho holds up a tough guy exterior but I think this the quote shows that he cares for Thomas. When it says, "It went halfway to giving him the courage he needed to do what he had to do". This tells me that Minho affects Thomas's actions. it tells me that Minho gives Thomas courage to do things that he might not do otherwise. I think this entire quote tells me that Thomas cares deeply about what Minho thinks of him.

I think this quote could connect to teenagers because it shows that friends are an important part of your life. I think this because when it says that Minho gave Thomas courage to do what he had to do it shows that friends will give you courage to do things. They are able to do this by believing in you. The quote shows this in the first sentence. By becoming really good friends Thomas and Minho were able to affect each others actions. I think that Thomas and Minho's relationship connects to teenagers in a big way.
