In the Matched trilogy, by Ally Condie, is
about a girl named Cassia Reyes who ends up falling in love with her best
friend, Ky and her other best friend Xander. Ky ends up having to be sent away
to the Outer Provinces where he was forced to fight in the war... Thanks to
Cassia. She is a sorter and she had to do a "real life" sort. Which
means she gets taken to a work site and she has to sort everyone into two groups
and the groups are, who are doing good and who are slacking. She puts Ky into
the group that is doing good so he would be able to get a promotion. But when
she thought she was helping him, she realized that Ky would have to be sent
away to the Outer provinces to fight in the battle. The theme in the story is
love and loss.
Therefore, the
story has the love connection with Ky and Cassia, then Ky got sent away and now
Cassia is being forced to move farther away from Ky and all her friends than
she could ever imagine. Now Cassia has to go on a huge adventure to find Ky and
she is determined to find him and bring him back from that horrible place.
While Ky fights, Cassia gets her final work position and she gets closer to Ky
than her new home. At any cost, she will save Ky and her family.
The
Hunger Games is very similar to the Matched
trilogy. In the Hunger Games, Katniss
loves Peeta and Gale at the same time, just like Cassia loves Ky and Xander at
the same time too. After the games, Katniss and Peeta are still in love and in
Matched, Cassia finds Ky and they are still in love. That is how the Matched trilogy is related to the Hunger Games.
I think that
Cassia is a very independent person who can easily take care of herself. I
think that Ky is a strong leader who can stop almost any argument. Like
Katniss, Cassia is strong and can fend for herself. The only difference between
the two girls is that Cassia follows the rules, but Katniss breaks the rules
all the time. Katniss and Cassia are equally my role models.
Through and
through, Cassia Reyes is a strong and independent girl who can easily take care
of herself. Katniss from The Hunger Games,
is the same way. Ky is a very unique guy who enjoys the company of his friends.
I believe that Cassia will go and find Ky and bring him, back to her home. She
will risk Anything except her family. She really misses Ky and she wants him
back.
