what we have now. Matched takes place in the future, where the world has rid itself of all things
that cause pain to humans. This world might not have painful things in life, but it is ruled by a
government that controls everything you do. You would not have the decision to do anything
which would still cause pain. They control where you work, what you do in your free time, who
you marry, how many kids you will have, what food you eat at every meal, and much more.

The author Ally Condie did a great job writing this book. She had amazing use of words,
and left the readers on the tips of their toes after each chapter. This lead me to not wanting to put
the book down. Condie wrote a page turning novel about love and free will. Her character Cassia
learns throughout the book that the government isn't as great as she always thought it was. Living
in a society where love is controlled would be difficult, and even though not many question it,
Cassia and Ky rebel, so they can end up happy together. The ending of Matched is a little tear
jerking, but now I just cannot wait to read the next book to the series to find out what happens
Reading this book made me realize the world we have isn't so bad. We may have deadly
diseases, and people that marry several times, or people that cannot have kids, but I would rather
live in a world with flaws than a world where every move we make is practically someone else's
decision. Humans are meant to make mistakes, and in this futuristic novel it shows you what can
happen when all the bad is gone. It reminds me of the quote you can't have a rainbow without
in life. Which says how much control the government wants or already has over the people living
just like humans in this society. It’s as if the government is the owners and all the people are the

In this novel, I definitely liked how the author made the reader notice how all the
Additionally, author Ayden Lee did a good job with the detailing of scenes, the images she created were vivid descriptions. However,there is a point of contention; this book needs editing, there spelling and syntax errors, throughout the book , for example in chapter 1 ... “Without further civilities, they passed their hurry goodbyes by Dan’s ears ”. Unfortunately there are many instances of editing issues throughout the book, which would once addressed, would make this book a more dynamic
In conclusion, this book is extremely well written, and you are sure to connect with at least one character. We feel for the characters, and there is excellent foreshadowing. The moments of action are portrayed amazingly.
All in all the book was a great novel with great character development, but the bias, exaggeration, and predictable
Firstly, government put limits, but not all limits. There are many injustices occurring in society, which government for many of them has
The World Controllers predetermine what role their people will play in society and they often condition them for that role. The people never get a chance to find their own place in the world based on their personal desires, wishes, and dreams. The government has completely taken away their free will to choose what they want to do with their lives. This decision is one of the greatest personal choices a person can make and the fact that the government does not even acknowledge it shows a terrible disrespect towards the general population. Leon R. Kass, who once advised President George W. Bush on bioethical issues, stated that
The world would feel alone and cold if the government controlled everything you did and
In order to protect the people, there must be individuals who can operate outside of the law. These enforces, known as the government, have a vested interest in the voices of the majority, not in the greed of business. By allowing a government to place restrictions on a society, they not only protect their
In conclusion, it is appropriate to go against the government in certain situations. The government’s power is becoming greater and greater as the years go on. With a
To me this book was pretty boring at the beginning. I figured it would just be for the extra credit and that it didn’t really matter if I read closely and reread pages. However, after reading maybe 30 pages I was really drawn in and was fascinated with the premise of this book(I didn’t know what the book was about prior to reading it.) Now I don’t want to give any spoilers, and I encourage you to read this book, but I think that everyone should know the literary value of this book.
The way that a government runs impacts if they have an ordered society. In a ordered society the government will try to do what they think will help the people at the time. Back in ancient India and china they had the saying “an eye for an eye” meaning if you did something you will get the same in return. At the time the movement did this because they thought that it would work best for them.
