The premise of the novel “the maze runner” seems to be about not giving up, but what kinds of surprises or obstacles make the Gladers consider giving up?

After Alby had been stung and gone through the changing, he had said to Thomas that they couldn't leave because he'd seen what the world outside was like.

That was him basically giving up on getting out.

hope this helps a little:)

through negative experiences we learn many things its sort of like karma if u do something bad to someone and u get a consequence u dont like the next time u wont do it again and as for positive ur not really learning anything and another example for negativity people didnt want barrack obama as president because they thought he was the worst and he was taking but now we have donald trump   and hes   is not anyone and shut down the government over sum petty stuff unlike barrack obama who shut down the government because they did not want to give health care to the community and now these people who want him out want him in now

what is the passage
