A Ideal Pairing: A Comparative Review of Ally Condie's Matched With Lois Lowry's The Giver9523650

As I go through Ally Condie's new dystopian tale Matched, I couldn't assist but draw comparisons to the initial dystopian YA novel I read through, The Giver by Lois Lowry. Equally books are coming of age tales of teenagers, who with the thrust of an older mentor, begin to see that the "perfect" worlds in which they stay are something but. Although Lowry's Jonas is a youthful male protagonist, Matched's seventeen-calendar year-aged Cassia Reyes follows considerably the same development of doubting, questioning, and finally rebelling from these in demand.

Condie's design, like Lowry's, is frequently abundant with description, ample to make grownup viewers sigh with enjoyment, but not too significantly to prevent its young adult audience from taking pleasure in the psychological journey of the primary character. And that journey is what drives the plot. However I read Matched in a marathon reading session, I wouldn't say its speed is specifically rapidly. Neither was that of The Giver. What retains the reader turning webpages in these guides is the emotional, intellectual, and philosophical development of the primary character. That might not audio almost as interesting as saying these publications are about hormonal teenagers lashing out from an oppressive society, but, at least as considerably as guide one in every of these collection goes, it is the fact. The two textbooks are significantly more centered on the character's determination of whether or not to rebel, no matter whether it's appropriate to rebel, than on the true rise up, which in the two guides will take location only at the very stop. Yet Condie and Lowry each deal with to make that choice-making gripping enough to propel audience to the ultimate chapters (and outside of, because equally publications belong to sequence).
