Maze Runner: The Death Cure review

Maze Runner: The Death Cure

Warning: This is about the book, not the movie. Also grammar mistake
Ok, so this book is part of a trilogy but the newest installment ruined that. If you haven’t read the other two books then it might be a little challenging to understand the context. Anyway, after the Scorch Trial taken place somewhere in Mexico, Thomas and all of his friends are captured and held captive. Thomas get the special treatment of 26 days of isolation in a white room. They were going to get their memories back but Thomas decided that he was too good for it and escaped the facility on a "Berg" that matches the description of a Combine Dropship from Half Life 2. 

The "Berg" looks something like this but a lot less terrifying and probably looked nothing like that and my comprehension skill is bad. 

They escaped to Denver, out of all the places, to get a chip in their brain removed because it can, reportedly, let WICKED control your brain and that's not very good. Well, Denver already getting run over by infected and just a few days later, the whole city fell and Denver is no more. That’s to remind you that to not go anywhere the protagonist go because, chances are, that’s where chaos will very likely ensue. Thomas decided to take his chance with an old rival, Gally, and join the resistance group, the Right Arms, to fight WICKED. Well, their plan are a bit extreme as Vince, the Leader of the group, wanted to blow up WICKED’s Headquarter. Well, Thomas can’t complain because they have the only mean of transportation he can have access to. So now he’s going back to WICKED with Janson, the Assistance Director of the Trial, welcomed him in with open arms. Why? Well, they wanted Thomas’ Brain. That plan, however, failed as the Right Arms raided the headquarters and they are going to blow the whole building and bring it to the ground. But Thomas has one final job. Find all the immunes WICKED has kidnapped that are back in the Maze. As the immunes are led to a teleportation device to a safer place, the building collapsed and killed Teresa, which I took as a relieve because that’s one less person to watch your back for. Anyway, the story ended with the classic Happy Ever After ending with the Immunes starting a new community/civilization. And that ended book 3.

Now, what does this book taught me? Well, it taught me not to trust any corporation with fancy acronyms that specialized in nabbing people overnight because they are immune to a very specific virus. And our existence in the universe are quite insignificance and our terrestrial body called Earth are 1 out of million and billions of planets out there so if we do go extinct, no one is going to remember us and we’re going to have to accept that. And also Solar Flare are quite scary and destructive. So, what’s the best thing you could do if you were to be in a world like Thomas’ is in. Well, go to Australia, obviously. It’s isolated and thousands of miles away from other countries. Might as well add New Zealand to be and island of Australia. See, if you’re thousands of miles away from the nearest land, the Virus probably not going to get you. Now if it does, then just get all the food, and weapons. Dig a bunker and hide in there for approximately 15 months. By then, it should be all over. If not, then hide for another 15 months. Rinse and repeat until you die. Or you can take a better choice and blow some infected zombies’ brains. Which ever choice you choose, just don’t die and you’ll be good. Final rating: 9/10, 5 for the story, 3 for the combine dropship and 1 for the amount of tomfoolery committed by Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. Very cool.

The Camp Squeah Experience (day 1)

Image
 Hello everyone.  I went on a 3 days camping trip at Camp Squeah with my class. Camp Squeah is a camping place 177 km north-east of Vancouver, it took 2 hours of driving to get there and it was a long trip but the view made up for it. Then there's my friend. There were an estimate total of 60 loud and energetic children on the bus so it was very loud and make it hard to concentrate on anything at all. I also consumed a sandwich every time the bus passed by a scene worth admiring. In total I consumed 2 sandwich because there were only 2 in the bag. When we arrived at camp, it was approximately 11:30 so everyone was hungry. They fed us a grilled cheese sandwiches and tomatoes soup. Then everyone went into the main lodge and the camp director, pretty sure his name was Nick, showed us how the camp works. Here's the breakdown: There's an inaccessible pool, a playground, cabins, a haunted church, a gym, an archery range a bathroom, activity courses and a field. Just to name a few...

The battle of Stalingrad

Image
  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...

The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair experience

Image
  The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair Hello again. So recently, I got into the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair or the GVRSF. I trust that you know where Vancouver is located and what a science fair is. If not, then there’s a reason. Anyhow, the whole thing was 3 days long and there was a lot of talking as you might expect. But we need to run that back, back 6 weeks ago when the science fair at my school happened. As a final test/exam in science, we need to make a project based on a question we came up with. I was partnered with my friend, Ethan, and together we come up a question. The requirement is that the question has to be answered using scientific research and it has to be related to science. So we got to work. The first part is to think of a question. I know that there are websites that give great suggestions for topics to do science fair on but I’ll say that 95% of those ideas are used at least once before. Also we wanted something original, a question th...
