5th Period ACL Inferring/Predicting The Scorch Trials By James Dashner

Hello Class, 
I am currently reading The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. This is the second book in the Maze Runner series about a dystopian society. The book picks up after all the boys escaped the Maze. Now, they are given the challenge to face 100 grueling miles across a flaming hot desert called The Scorch. They learn that they all caught something called The Flare, a deathly disease, and they are running against time before they turn into Cranks and die. Also, they are given the mission to beat Group B, a group of girls also given the same challenge (the Maze and now the Scorch), to beat them to the safe haven where they will get the cure for the Flare before it is too late.
I predict that the boys and Teresa, along with Group B, will both make it the safe haven. I think they will battle it out there before anyone makes it inside. I also think that Thomas will survive the desert and WICKED will save him even if he doesn’t make it to the haven. In the safe haven, I think that there will be another challenge before the cure is given out just so that WICKED can poke fun at them. Minho will probably get furious and he will probably lead the Gladers to take down WICKED. I cannot wait to see what happens and to know how this book ends. 
Sincerely,
Katelyn B

    Hi Katelyn, why do you think there were actually two groups facing the Scorch Trials? What surprised you the most about this book?

    I think WICKED probably wanted to put the two groups against each other to see if they would do what they wanted them to do. What surprised me the most is that WICKED came into the Scorch and saved Thomas when they would not save anyone else when they were close to death.
