A Perfect Pairing: A Comparative Overview of Ally Condie's Matched With Lois Lowry's The Giver6369804

As I read through Ally Condie's new dystopian tale Matched, I couldn't support but attract comparisons to the first dystopian YA novel I study, The Giver by Lois Lowry. Each guides are coming of age tales of teenagers, who with the press of an more mature mentor, start to see that the "perfect" worlds in which they reside are something but. However Lowry's Jonas is a younger male protagonist, Matched's seventeen-calendar year-previous Cassia Reyes follows a lot the very same progression of doubting, questioning, and lastly rebelling against those in demand.

Condie's style, like Lowry's, is usually abundant with description, sufficient to make adult visitors sigh with enjoyment, but not way too considerably to prevent its young grownup viewers from experiencing the psychological journey of the principal character. And that journey is what drives the plot. Even though I go through Matched in a marathon reading session, I wouldn't say its rate is notably fast. Neither was that of The Giver. What retains the reader turning internet pages in these textbooks is the psychological, intellectual, and philosophical progress of the primary character. That could not sound almost as fascinating as expressing these textbooks are about hormonal teens lashing out against an oppressive society, but, at least as much as ebook one in every of these series goes, it's the real truth. Equally textbooks are much much more concentrated on the character's selection of regardless of whether or not to rebel, no matter whether it really is appropriate to rebel, than on the genuine rebel, which in both guides normally takes location only at the really stop. Yet Condie and Lowry each deal with to make that determination-generating gripping ample to propel audience to the ultimate chapters (and past, since both textbooks belong to sequence).
