Matched -Text To Text
By: Rebekah Rolfe
      Matched, by Ally Condie is about a girl named Cassie. Cassie is a 17 year old girl who lives in a place where the government decides your life choices. They decide who you love, where you work, and when you die. Cassie has come to the age where the officials choose who she gets married to. She was so happy that she was matched with her best friend, Xander. But, Cassie comes to relize that she doesn't think that Xander is her perfect match and starts to fall for someone else. At this time of difficulty and stress her Grandpa dies and she is faced with the impossible question of who she truly desires to marry. 
      The book Matched reminds me so much of the series, The Hunger Games because of the characters in the books. Cassie reminds me of Katniss Everdeen because they both are trying to figure out who they really love and want to marry. Ky reminds me of Peeta because they both are the people that the main characters end up falling in love with. Xander reminds me of Gale because both are the original boys that are loved by Cassie and Katniss but they end up falling for someone else. Another reason why Matched and The Hunger Games are alike are because both of the books government controls them. For example, Cassie doesn't get to control her match the officials do, just like Katniss is forced to be in the Hunger Games by President Snow.
      I love the way that this book expresses Cassie's feelings and how each chapter has a new problem in it. The book also teaches you to do what you want and to not let other people get in the way of what you want because you are only going to live a short life. Even though I do not like to read, I have enjoyed this book a lot and I can't stop reading it! This book is so amazing and I know you will like it if you like to read science fiction books.
