Cassaia Reyes Compare And Contrast
Compare and Contrast for the book Matched:

Imagine a world where your future is planned out for you. Where the government controls the majority of your life. For Cassia that is what life is like. For someone who lives in a world like that they should seem pretty different compared to us and they are. However, you can almost always find a comparison between people no matter where or how they live. Cassia Reyes and her family live in the Oria Province. The world was supposed to have changed for the better. At the start of their society they have selected 100 songs, 100 paintings, and 100 poems from the past to be saved. No more songs or poems are allowed to be created anymore. Everyone is required to carry compacts with three pills around them once they reach a certain age. Some people that I know have to carry around pills or other medicines but not every single person. One last difference is the Official’s choose who you should marry. Some parents in other countries choose who their child will marry but it is not a requirement. Cassia and I are pretty

However, I did manage to relate to Cassia. Both of us try to protect our little brother’s. She feels protective over Bram because he is labeled a troublemaker and I feel protective over Carson because he is autistic and still can’t do a lot for himself. One of Cassia’s best friends is named Xander who she has been best friends with since Elementary. I have had a best friend named Reece since elementary as well. Xander and Reece are both very smart and they always seem to be there for their friends. Cassia and I are even similar in looks. The book stated that she has brown hair and green eyes. Her hair has a copper tint to it though while mine has some blonde. One of the last things I noticed was that we both see things within our society that we think could be bettered. Cassia’s society needs a lot more work

    In other words, she sees the looks teachers give her, and it inspires her to do better in her school work and prove to them that her image does not define her personality. Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth. Antonia, the other main character, is classified as smart or a teacher’s pet, so a teacher’s pet and a punk; that is not usually the types that are best friends. In the beginning of the book, they did not even want to be seen together. By the end of the book , that did not matter anymore because they were proud of each…

    I am Miranda Baker, however I’m like no one. I have a hard time relating to anyone, I’m quite a unique person. If I had to choose a character to relate to, I would relate to Doodle’s older brother from The Scarlet Ibis. I am alike this character because I blame myself for things that really aren’t my fault, I always push my brothers to push themselves and to go on past their abilities, mentally and physically, and I go with my brother everywhere and spend a lot of time with him. In all of these ways I am alike Doodle’s older brother, however I’m unlike him in many way as well.…

    In the Dominican Republic, men had absolute authority over everything in the early 1900’s. They were considered dominant and almighty, while women were expected to be elegant and inferior. Men were able to live whatever lifestyle they wanted to live in. What mattered was, as long as men were able to make their family’s income, they could do whatever they desired. On the other hand, women had to run errands and take care of their husbands and children. This was the common system at the time. However, These traditions and attitudes did not stop the Mirabal sisters from standing up for what they believed in. For instance, the sisters proved to their society that that the dictatorship was a horrible thing. The Mariposas were fully committed to abolish the regime of Trujillo, even though they knew that they could be killed. They gave up many things to gain their freedom.

    Family units are roughly the same in each society. A family is usually made up of parents and children. Like Jonas’s family, they customarily have dinner and breakfast together every day and talk about their “feelings.” In addition, “adoption” is generally the same for both societies. People in the novel sign up to obtain children like current society. Also, potential parents are thoroughly background checked. Although in modern society, they actually have a culture. Culture is the way of life of a group of people and their behaviors and beliefs. This is unlike The Giver because they do not have ethnicities, beliefs, nor religions. Also, the ways they raise children have drastic differences. After turning into adults, they completely disconnect from their parents. Also the people in the community of the novel are assigned jobs. This means that they do not have a choice. Once assigned, they cannot accept or apply for another job. They know and accept this, for acceptance is one of their many…

    Trick My Sibling Quotes

    • 263 Words

    Through this story I think I most relate to Lucas because I am not the one to trick my sibling. My sibling is the one that acts most like Amy, always trying to trick me. “Amy? You’re just kidding aren’t you? That was pretty good. You know if you weren’t so funny-looking you could probably become an actress.” Pg.7. This is what I would probably end up saying in this circumstance, try to be funny but keep it on edge and be a little bit hard-nosed about it. I am more of a gullible type of person so this book relates to me a lot because Lucas in the story actually believed that his sister was under attack. “Amy? Amy, come on. Quit it.” Pg.7. This quote is when I would usually get a little fearful or nervous that it could be happening. I would…

    A lot’s been changing and fast too! Things seem to be getting a little better day by day. Before the revolution, for anyone that didn’t have a lot of money, things were pretty bad. Like most “peasants” or you know, poorer people, didn’t own land. They rented it off these powerful land owners who opted to make sure the families that rented were forever in debt. A few weeks ago, I walked around my town and I saw that everyone had their own little plots and had a lot of crops growing. When I started talking to everyone, they said they feel like it’s starting to look up and maybe one day they can start to move up in life. Now the land owners have to do work too. Our village started working together and even though the former land owners weren’t happy about it, it was just all around better for everyone. Woman can work now too! There are little day cares so woman can go out and do some type of work, even though they don’t get nearly as much as men.…
