This weekend, I read the book Matched by Ally Condie. It was actually very good! At night after I would read it, I would lay in my bed and think about what life would be like if we all lived in a world like that. What if the government issued us pills like that and chose who we would marry! I thought about the marrying part the most...what would I do if they made me marry someone I hated? I would probably do everything in my power to get out of it! Maybe run away or disguise myself and go by the name Lulu. I would feel bad for him, but it would probably end up being worse for him if we were actually married...
I also thought about the pills. What if we already have pills like that and I witnessed something that I wasn't supposed to and then I was given a pill to forget! For example...a crime...or an alien or something! I personally would move to another planet if we ever started using pills like that..it's just so scary! Don't you agree?

That sounds like a really interesting and different book. Yeah I wouldn't like to get picked to marry somebody either, if you didn't like them that would be especially bad. Are you allowed to get divorced?
ReplyDeleteIf we had those pills we'd all be like robots. No, we'd be like clones. Everyone would be "perfect".
ReplyDeleteGood response, Lily. I like how you pick up on the questions the book is asking.
