Analysis - Matched

Matched by: Ally Condie

Analysis:
In the Novel Matched, when you turn 17 you get matched. Cassia originaly gets matched with Xander who is her friend. But then she starts getting feelings for another boy named Ky. From what I have read so far I can predict that Cassia will end up with Xander by the end because they were first matched together at the Match banquet. A quote from the story is, "I might know my Match. He might be someone who goes to the same Second School that I do, someone I see everyday, someone- "Xander Thomas Carrow." This quote is from when she first finds out that she is matched with Xander and it explains how she should be matched with Xander because he was her original Match to begin with. In this community the person that is your Match you are to spend the rest of your life with even if you dont like them.

At first, she is happy with her match but then she starts to fall in love with Ky who is the person that she sees on Xander's microcard when she goes to look at it.

I can also predict that she will not be matched with Ky because when they first announced that Cassia and Xander are Matched something sparked between them and she knew that they were meant to be matched the minute the announcer said Xander's name. Then with Ky nothing happened or sparked until later in the story.
