A Best Pairing: A Comparative Evaluation of Ally Condie's Matched With Lois Lowry's The Giver119531

As I read through Ally Condie's new dystopian tale Matched, I couldn't aid but draw comparisons to the initial dystopian YA novel I study, The Giver by Lois Lowry. Equally textbooks are coming of age tales of teens, who with the press of an older mentor, commence to see that the "perfect" worlds in which they stay are anything at all but. Even though Lowry's Jonas is a younger male protagonist, Matched's seventeen-year-aged Cassia Reyes follows significantly the same development of doubting, questioning, and last but not least rebelling in opposition to these in charge.

Condie's style, like Lowry's, is often abundant with description, enough to make adult audience sigh with satisfaction, but not as well much to discourage its youthful adult audience from taking pleasure in the emotional journey of the main character. And that journey is what drives the plot. Even though I go through Matched in a marathon reading through session, I wouldn't say its speed is notably rapidly. Neither was that of The Giver. What keeps the reader turning internet pages in these textbooks is the psychological, mental, and philosophical development of the major character. That may possibly not seem nearly as fascinating as declaring these textbooks are about hormonal teenagers lashing out against an oppressive society, but, at minimum as far as ebook one particular in each of these sequence goes, it is the truth. Equally publications are significantly a lot more concentrated on the character's decision of regardless of whether or not to rebel, regardless of whether it's proper to rebel, than on the real riot, which in equally textbooks requires place only at the extremely stop. Yet Condie and Lowry equally control to make that choice-generating gripping ample to propel viewers to the closing chapters (and beyond, given that equally textbooks belong to collection).
