Just as the first Griever‘s arm extended out to nip at them, Minho and Thomas dove in opposite directions, each toward one of the outer walls of
the corridor. The tactic had worked for Thomas earlier, and judging by the horrible screeching sound that escaped the first Griever, it had worked
again. The monster flew off the edge of the Cliff. Oddly, its battle cry cut sharply instead of fading as it plummeted to depths beyond Dashner,

However, the last Griever is able to stop in time before it falls into the Cliff. Then, it does not make Minho and Thomas panic. Thomas instinctively knows what he
should do with the Griever. They decide to run to the Griever and kick it, so that the Griever falls into the Cliff.
b. Thomas conflicts against Alby
The conflict between Thomas and Alby happens because they have different ideas. Thomas tries to persuade all of the Gladers to follow him to find a
way to leave the Maze because he believes that there is a chance for them to leave the Maze. However, Alby as a leader of the Gladers refuses the idea. He does not
agree with Thomas idea, and he believes that it just a trick from Thomas to regain his trust. Thomas realizes that all of the Gladers cannot live in the Glade forever.
Since Teresa who is the only female Glader arrives in the Glade, everything is going weird. For example, when Teresa speaks to Thomas that she just triggers
the Ending. In the next morning, the sun disappears, everything changes immediately. The doors do not close anymore and the supplies do not come as
usual. This situation makes all of the Gladers worried about the continuation of their life. As a result, it makes Thomas believe that there must be a chance to find
a way to escape from the Maze and they could find their way to home. Therefore, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
Thomas said to everyone that all of them must fight until they find a way out from the Maze and bring all of them out of there.
Thomas had an overwhelming feeling that all of these changes were a spur, a catalyst for the endgame. ―Because now we have to solve it. We‘ll
be forced to. We can‘t live that way anymore, day to day, thinking that what matters most is getting back to the Glade before the Doors close,
snug and safe‖ Dashner, 2009: 244. Even though it seems hopeless that he will never be able to find a way out he still
never gives up. Then, at last Thomas tells everyone that there is something that they can do, so that they can leave the Maze to go back to their home. Thomas
said that there is a computer inside the Grievers Hole and they just need to enter the code. However, Alby disagrees with Thomas‘ idea because Alby does not trust
Thomas anymore. Alby sees Thomas in his dream when he go through Changing phases, then he knows that he is one of the Creators who build the place and also
put all of them there. ―Now you‘re being a shuck idiot,‖ he said, glaring at Thomas. ―Or a
traitor. How can we trust a word you say if you helped design the place, put us here We can‘t handle one Griever on our own ground, much less
fight a whole horde of them in their little hole. What are you really up to?‖ Dashner, 2009:310.
It is hard for Thomas to convince all of them because everyone knows that Thomas is the one who help the Creator builds and designs the Maze. Even
though Thomas already convinces all of them that he tries to help to find a way to exit the Maze, Alby still does not trust Thomas.
―Maybe that was a trick to gain our trust. If you‘re in league with the shucks who sent us here, you wouldn‘t have had to worry about the
Grievers hurting you —maybe it was all an act‖ Dashner, 2009: 310.
Alby who has got stung and gone through the Changing phase is sure that all of them cannot exit from the Maze. The Changing is a state of unconsciousness
that occurs immediately after a person is stung by a Griever. After the Changing, the person gets back some of the memories that were wiped before he or she came
into the Glade. As well as Alby, he regains some of his memory and he is really sure that their life will get worse after they successfully get out from the Maze.
However, Thomas does not give up with his situation, he still attempts to regain all of the Gladers‘ trust including Alby.
