It was about a person called Equality 7-2521 and how his life led to a huge turning point. "Anthem" took place in a futuristic civilization. The book was about a society who were all equal and exactly the same until one brave person named Equality 7-2521 thought outside the box, something that has not been done in a while.…

    Book Rapport

    The book I am reviewing is called Matched by Ally Condie. Matched is a book which has an exiting futuristic theme. Matched is a book about a courageous, open minded girl named Cassia, a girl with two parents, a brother, and two best friends Xander and Em. In the book Cassia battles with society and not any type of society a new society. The society chooses everyone’s life they have chose that everyone should die at 80; they chose that there should only be 100 songs. Poetries, paintings ECT. In their city, the society chooses everyone’s job and food too, society chooses who gets marries to who at a special event called a match banquet. When Cassia finds out she has been matched with someone really close she starts developing strong feeling about him. But as soon as she sees another face pop up on her match’s microcard she starts having second thoughts. See who Cassia gets “matched” within this epic, love triangle, and risk taking story. Matched is a beautiful love triangle I would give 9 out of 10 to. I think the concept of the book was very unique and eye catching.…

    Ally Condie's Matched: A Literary Analysis

    1. My favorite quote from the first section of Matched is actually written on the first page of the novel and it is as follows. “Now that I've found the way to fly, which direction should I go into the night?…The black behind me doesn't worry me; neither do the stars ahead. (Condie 1)” The idea of not being haunted by the past or daunted by the future draws me to these words. It preaches that the past is the past and you can’t change that, while the future is unpredictable.…

    The Outsider Analysis

    Hinton has likely left the word “outsider” out of the book to let readers pander to the meaning of that word after completing the novel. To me, an outsider is Someone who is different from the crowd, but not in a favorable way. for example, an unintelligent person would be excluded from most social groups due to their negative trait that a majority of others do not have, this, of course, does not necessarily mean that many people are intelligent, rather, that most are not unintelligent.…
