Chapter 61-Epilogue

In chapter sixty-one, the Bus Thomas and Teresa asked a woman what was going on. The woman said that it was a long story and that she would shorten it as much as she could. It started with the sun which gave of many strong solar flares that burnt out the satellites first and then killed millions. Then the ecosystem fell apart. Then the human consciousness was lost to animal instincts which is what the Flare is and how it affected the Brain. The bus stopped at a building where everyone was going to rest and eat real food like pizza. To all of them this seemed like luxury.

In the last chapter, all the boys had their own room to sleep in and Thomas ended up bunking with Minho. Minho asked Thomas if he thought that those guys are good guys. Thomas said that he thought they were the good guys because he didn’t want to worry Minho. When Thomas was almost about to sleep Teresa telepathically asked Thomas how he felt about Chucks death. Teresa also tried to comfort him about it and they both went to bed.

The Epilogue was in a form of an Email from someone who works with WICKED. The subject of the Email was about Group A’s result in the Maze trials. On the Email which was written by the Chancellor, Ava Paige talked about the success of the trials and also discussed about what Teresa wrote this was ‘WICKED is GOOD.’ The Chancellor wanted to remind her associates, who are also the readers of the Email, that goal of WICKED is to preserve humanity no matter the cost. The Chancellor also said that Stage two will commence tomorrow and that Group B’s result is extraordinary.

In chapter sixty-one I was glad to be informed about what had happened and what caused this apocalyptic situation. When I read the Epilogue I was amazed with what the people of WICKED were doing. The fact that the people who went through the maze weren’t the only ones there were also others who went through a similar trial. I was glad that the Chancellor explained the meaning behind ‘WICKED is Good’  because frankly everything that they have done seems kind of negative like putting people in the Maze, killing innocent people like Chuck, and creating Grievers to attack the people of Glade.
