Ky And Xander Compare And Contrast

I feel like so far the overwhelming theme in Matched is that love and friendship conquer all. Cassia has to keep all these dangerous secrets in order to protect her friends and the ones she loves.

Em is revealed as having an anxiety disorder when she has an anxiety attack at the concert hall. Em gets her match and Cassia finds that her parent's match isn’t perfect after all her father doesn’t tell her mother everything. Ky gives Cassia a napkin with writing and picture’s she holds onto it for awhile before she knows she has to let it go. Ky is teaching her how to write in cursive, Officials went house to house collecting artifacts.

When Cassia is in her class there’s an announcement stating that Cassisa has committed an infraction and the Official that talked to her about her broken chip arrived to speak with her
