revised reading response!

Is this story unfair? Why or Why not?

 

            Would you like to live in a society where they tell you everything you must do and can’t do, and where your every move is regulated? I sure wouldn’t. You can’t choose when you can do life changing events! You have a matching ceremony where almost everyone is freaking out because you have no idea who you will be matched to. Cassia was freaking out! There is quite a comparison between our society and their society. “Matched” by Ally Condie shows us how we are so lucky to have such a fair society!

 

            In “Matched” by Ally Condie, not one person gets to choose when they do life changing events.  In the society they get jobs. When they get the job they don’t go to school. They watch movies about society. They are matched after or on their 17^th birthday. You must die on your 80^th birthday and have a ceremony on your 80^th birthday. “Today is Sunday. It is Grandfather's eightieth birthday, so he will die.” This means that since her grandfather is officially turning 80 today it is the day he will die. You know you are dying when you turn 80. This is so unfair! Yu should not know when you are dying! You shouldn’t expect your death!

 

            In “Matched” by Ally Condie, Cassia is scared about her matching ceremony.  Cassia is about to have her matching ceremony. She is scared which is normal. Xander her best friend also has his matching ceremony, but is not scared which is unusual. Who will Cassia's match be? Who will Xander's match be? “‘Your match is here today!’ ‘Xander Thomas Carrow!’ ‘I can’t believe it!’”  Xander and Cassia could get married this means! Whoa! This is amazing! She knows him so well! Cassia may not want to marry Xander because she doesn’t want to ruin their friendship!

 

            In “Matched” by Ally Condie is really unfair, where as in our society we have a lot of freedom! In our society we can practically do anything. In their society they can practically do nothing. “‘Where is Bren?’ I ask Xander. ‘I didn’t tell you? She got her job so she doesn’t go to school.’” After a certain amount of time you don’t go to school because you have a job. It shows how unfair it is because suddenly you are pulled out of school when you don’t expect it and you suddenly leave your friends.

 

            This text made me realize we are so lucky to have what we have; we have all of this freedom. You can’t choose when you can do life changing events! You have a matching ceremony where almost everyone is freaking out because you have no idea who you will be matched to. Cassia was freaking out! There is quite a comparison between our society and their society. Would you like to live in a society like this?

critical thinking questions

             Is this story fair? why? why not?

              The book, "Matched" by Ally Condie is not fair for a few reasons. One is that you can't run your own life, meaning you don't get to choose when you get to do life changing events and if you can do them or not. I will also tell how the society used to be. I will show how how the society is unfair.

            You could not choose when you do important things. You don't choose when you die. You must die at 80. "We are ceremony for grandpa because today is his last day."  You always have a ceremony on your 80th b day because you know you are going to die. You are matched by society at 17. She was matched to her best friend Xander which is uncommon and then you get your first job and don't go to school after that at 17 too. You watch movies all about society.Therefore you could not choose when you do important things.

             The society used to be good. they used to choose when they die. You must die when its time. You choose who you marry. You watch movies about whatever.Therefore you could not choose when you do important things.Therefore you could not choose when you do important things.

                 The book, "Matched" by Ally Condie is not fair for a few reasons.
