An Interview with Cassia Maria Reyes.

Lets take a look into Cassia's mind. What she believes and how she feels.

Q. How would you describe your appearance?
A.Well, this is an interesting question. I would say my eyes are green, the society says that is why I chose the green dress for my Match Banquet, and my hair is long and brown. My grandfather also chose green for the color of his plain clothes for his Final Banquet. I think were a lot a like, I miss him.



Q. What is your role in the society?
A. My role in the society is to go to second school and work as a sorter. My job right now is boring but if you are a good sorter it could set you up for a higher job in the future. My great-grandmother started as a sorter and she was part of the group of people how chose the Hundred Poems. They had to eliminate many poems. It would have been a very difficult job. I hope I will get to do something interesting with my future job.

Q. How do you behave in tense, frightening, or dramatic situations?
A. I believe I behave proper like the society would want us to. I try hard to but sometimes the situation is just to much for me. When Em started to shake and have her anxiety attack I did not know what to do. I had to rely on Xander and Ky to do something, and they did. Over all I act pretty calm. Grandfather told me not to take my green pill because I am strong enough with out. I believe him.


Q. Is there another person in the society that you are close with, and can you describe that relationship?
A. Em and I used to be close but we are not that close any more.
Xander and I are obviously close, we have been friends since we were young. But our relationship has changed, we are now matched. Even more than that our relationship has changed though. I used to want to tell him everything without a even thinking about it but now it is different. When Grandfather showed me the poem I did not want to tell him. Things have changed.
Then there is Ky. I never thought about him before but now I am. Since his picture showed up where my matches was supposed to be, Xanders, I can not stop think about him. I find my self having to actively stop my mind from thinking about him. We are growing closer, I think? His and my relationship is confusing.

Matched.


http://matched-book.com/matched-book.html

I have just started reading the book Matched yesterday. This book is by Ally Condie.
Matched is set in the future where poeple are matched with their "perfect match." The main character is Cassie. The first 20 some pages are about her getting matched with her best friend, Xander. Both of their families are excited because they know their childs match.

I am very excited to read this book. I loved the Hanger Games books! They were amazing. It was the first time i have ever finshed a book before the class. Nevermind finishing one, i read all three of them before the class even finished the first. It says that if you liked the Hunger Games you will like Matched. I am very excited.
