First, he looked at the drawn maps of the maze and it didn't take him long to figure out how to solve the maze and how to do it. “We need wax paper and scissors”(from chapter 15) is what Thomas said to his friends, as if he didn't want to loose this sudden train of thought . Another example of Thomas's unknown intellect was when he intentionally threw himself into a griever to go threw the changing to get some of his memorise to see if he would remember anything that would be helpful for him and his friends. This all proves that Thomas knew what he was doing and how to do

He even feels that in a way it was not an accident because all his life he knew nothing but poverty and that his skin would define who he is. He tried so hard to keep his fear and anger locked away inside him but he had finally hit a breaking point. Thomas even felt that one day he will be able to tell everyone that he had murdered Mary. (Wright 106) He took the stereotypes made against the color of his skin and looked at it being a positive thing, it was now benefitting him. Thomas continues to think to himself how blind everyone around him is which makes him feel powerful. He feels that his family is blind because they want to see life in their own way; therefore they’re not able to see what doesn’t “fit” into what they want. Thomas feels safe and believes that if he is able to see while everyone else around him is blind then he would not be caught. Not only does he feel that everyone is blind but they’re blind like Mrs. Dalton. Mrs. Dalton is physically blind which should make all her other senses sharp but she was not able to sense that something was wrong. She didn’t even think if Thomas was in the room because of his skin color, why would he be? Thomas feels that because he is black people wouldn’t assume certain things especially how he just sat at the kitchen table acting like nothing happened. (Wright 106,

He puts together all men from the wise, the old and the wild by stating that they all will eventually face death, and when that time comes he urges them to fight “rage” for longer life, rather than just accepting death. His portrayal differs from Dickenson’s as he presents death by using metaphors and imagery. (Napierkowski p49-60) He describes death as being “that good night” and the use of that metaphor causes death to become something unknown. Thomas suggests that death is like night time, it’s dark and unfamiliar. Thomas is presenting death as something that should be feared and something that we should fight against. His message in the poem is about how precious the gift of life is and he uses imagery with the phrases “old age should burn and rave at close of day. “(752) and “wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight.” (752) Thomas uses those poetic devices to convey anger and how powerless someone feels when being confronted by death. When Thomas reveals his father’s curse at the end of the poem you get a sense of passion that he feels for life and how he desperately wanted to send this powerful emotion to his
