At the beginning of chapter 17, Thomas, Minho, and Newt are walking out of the dark hallway and into the extremely hot desert. They find that they must place sheets over their bodies to protect themselves from the sun and the rest of the group follows their lead. They travel for a couple of hours before hearing a girl's loud shrieks. They rest for a couple hours and after they continue, they happen upon the first building in a large and abandoned town. There, a familiar girl, Teresa, steps out from behind the building and Thomas has a meeting with her himself. He finds that he must run away from her because she seems possessed and was part of a trap. Chapter 22 ends with Thomas dreaming about an his childhood with Teresa, where he learns to communicate with her through their minds.
A vocab word that was new to me was gales. Gales means a very strong gust of wind or a burst of sound. In my book, it meant a very strong gust of wind. An example of a burst of sound may be "Cory let out a gale of laughter, surprising the entire group during our most solemn of all days."
