Matched For My Literature Circle Group Analysis
I chose to read Matched for my Literature circle group. Matched is about a girl who can’t decide who to love. After reading it, I did like the romantic setup of the book, but I wish the author included more action.

I enjoyed the romantic setup of the book because it was a follow or break the rules type of relationship. This means Cassia, the main character, could either follow the society and love her match or break the rules and love someone else. This creates the main conflict of the story and develops Cassia as a character at the same time. Next, I wish there was more action in the book because the plot wasn't very interesting at all times. However, I do prefer action/ adventure books over romantic books. So, if you were a romance reader,

    This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy. This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

    I didn’t personally like the book I thought it wasn’t very exciting. Maybe if the book was more exciting or had more twist or turns it would be more enjoyable. It did change my attitude about boys being smarter than girls but even when Calpurnia was talk all science to her brother he had no idea what she was talking about. I probably would not recommend this book unless you're more into having the same idea throughout the whole…

    I liked this book. I really admired Brigitte’s character. The fact that she was able to leave her fancy lifestyle, family, and extensive opportunities available to her in France, to take care of her ex-husband’s little girl that she had never met before, in a dirty little desert town out in the middle of nowhere, is truly amazing to me. Her character definitely grew throughout this book. I believe she went from being a young woman not knowing what she was getting into, to being a mature loving mother to a ten yr. old little girl who needed her very much.…

    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.…

    I thought the writer had a really good flow of style and expressed herself really well, especially with the storyline. It was a great story overall, the writer was very graphic with her words and it kind of made me feel like I was there re-living that moment with her. Her style was cool and she built up the story with conflict. The suspense was awesome because she made it feel like it was going to be good from the start to the end, but then I felt the tension when things became dark and muggy. The argumentation was written well and the story ended on a good note. The writer wrote for her people and you could literally…

    At first, though, I thought the book was a satire with a mystery theme (especially with a bulldog in a carriage), but at its heart, there is a deeper, unexpected, story about finding love in unexpected places. That story began to unwind itself with Peter Luce and continued…

    Rampant Essay

    • 430 Words
    • 2 Pages

    What you get out of the book depends on what you hope for going into it. I started the book hoping to read an adventure starring a compelling protagonist, and to some extent, that is what I got. There was quite a bit of romance in the book as a major plot point, but it was expected, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re thinking of reading Rampant, I highly suggest reading the summary of the book beforehand, so you know what you’re getting yourself into. That’s not to say I don’t recommend the novel, I certainly do. I did enjoy when the book focused on the other hunters, their relationships, and their struggles, rather than just Astrid, even if this didn’t get as much attention as the romantic plot. The summary of the book doesn’t mention the other girls at all, so one cannot expect it to be the main focus, but in my opinion the novel shined most when it concentrated on them. I definitely recommend Rampant to teenage girls who can handle a bit of intimacy and gore, and will appreciate the book whether it gives them what they expected or…
