Compound Ch. 8-9

Eli becomes madder and madder at his father, Rex Yanakaki. After learning that his father has been in contact with a music producer and been getting music off of the internet, which was apparently impossible to get in the compound, Eli tries every chance he has to get onto the internet. At one point in time he gets on by accident and goes to his room, but loses connection. Eli suspects that the connection does not reach his room, so the next day he tries again. When Eli goes back to the same exact spot he does not get internet again. Eli immediatly suspects that his father may have found out that he had gotten on the internet and did something to ensure he could not get connection again.

Compound Ch. 5-7

     The kids continue to live there life normally in the compound. Although life is normal Eli is still suspicious about his father keeping secrets. After a while Eli is right, his father is keeping things from them. Elis dad gave him a cd with a date from an incredibly recent time. This may seem normal, but they have been in the compound for over six years so theres no way to get the cd besides the internet. Again, this may seem normal, but Rex Yanakaki said there wasnt any internet in the compound yet he was able to access it. This makes Eli wonder what else is being kept from him.

Compound Ch. 3-4

In these chapters the Yanakaki family continues to do well in the compound. The only thing that seems to be going wrong is the fact that the kids dont get along very well. The children are costantly fighting over what movie they are going to watch on the home theatre or what there foing to eat for dinner. During these chapters Eli also makes an amazing discovery. Eli found Eddys old laptop, something that Elis father Rex Yanakaki, the famed computer programmer, has been keeping from him. Since Elis father is keeping some things from hime it makes Eddy wonder what else he doesnt know.

Their father constantly recieves threats involving nuclear wat, but he often thinks nothing of it, until one day they get attacked. The Yanakaki family is camping, something they had never done before, when they were attacked by a nuclear weapon. The family rushes into a nuclear facility underground that their father had created.

Maze Runner ch. 8-9

During this part of the book a weird alarm starts going off throughout the entire “glade”. Thomas later learns this is what happens when the box, the thing that brings them supplies or anything they need, is bringing in a newbie or green bean. People start to flip out because this is the day after Thomas arrived, but normally newbies or green beans come once a month, not two days in a row. Everyone in “the glade” makes a huge crowd outside of the box. Everyone is silent as the box opens, but when they take the newbie out everyone explodes in conversation. Then green bean is a girl! This is extremely important because a girl has never been in “the glade” before. What makes this even more unusual is the fact that she is suspected to be in a coma. Lots of people also seem to believe that Thomas, who still has an unusual desire to become a runner, has some connection with the mysterious girl.

Maze Runner ch. 5-7

During these chapters Thomas is learning about the ways of life at “the glade”. He learns that almost everyone at “the glade” sleeps outside at nite because its warm for some reason, and the homestead, which is intended for people to sleep in, is not very big or good for sleeping. He also gets a tour from Alby, the boy who thinks he knows Thomas. He shows Thomas the slaughterhouse, the box, the opening to the maze, the deadheads and almost everything he needs to know to survive in “the glade”. For some reason Thomas believes that he has seen all of this before, he feel like hes been to “the glade” before. At the end of Albys tour, Alby emphasizes one thing. NO ONE except for runners are aloud in the maze. If he is found in the maze if hes not a runner he will be killed. Thomas knows that runners have the most dangerous job, but he feels as though he needs to become a runner.
