I just read matched by Ally Condie and it was a very good book. around the beginning of the book i was think such a perfect world, it kept your life in good way, no poverty, keeps you in good shape, good education, and mainly it chooses who you are going to marry+love! there is a ceremony where they show you and introduce you to your future life partner. As i was thinking that this world is soo perfect, i started to think that maybe it is too perfect, it goes overboard, to get to know you personally they look at your dreams while you are sleeping, they give many tests. i don't think to know someone personally you have to do all this and then i started to notice that this world is letting you live your life instead it is living the life for you. you can't eat what you want . then i started to think that can i live her life, cassia's life?
At first i thought it would be pretty good, you won't have to worry about a lot of stuff like illness, in this world it is very rare to get sick, you can live up to 80 90 years old. you don't have to think about cancer, or other deadly diseases. the main part is that the government just wants you to be healthy, they just want to keep the people controlled so, nothing ever goes wrong. Nothing is perfect, there has to be a flaw or it is just not real. Then i thought about what about my life, would i want a government controlling my life and i still don't know.
Another issue in this book is that the government gives out pills green, blue and yellow. Only the government can tell you who is eating what pills. many people eat blue pills and the green and red pills re only eaten at specific times. The people themselves don't know why are they eating the pills. in the book when they introduced the pills, i thought the pills were used to control the people, so they the people have no opinion so they can't fight against the government. also i thought that people should know what they are eating, it is not right eating stuff without not knowing what it is, to me it is like eating poison without no knowing. Later on in the book we found out that the red pill is the pill you take when you die!- people has no choice of that either,, the government controlles that.
In conclusion this world is meant for people who likes to be controlled and not meant for the people who likes living their own life!
Khatha, there are a few interesting ideas swimming around here. Try to focus. Also, you should proofread some more because too many errors interfere with readability.
