"Matched"/"Crossed"/"Reached" - Useless Bookreport Blog With/OUT/ Unicorns, Dragons And Stuff

To finish the book I am now going to answer the questions we got from our teacher. Think about what you have learned from the book/what you did not know before.     I didn't know the poem from Thomas Dylan that is often quoted in the book! And the book motivates me to wonder myself and question some things about our own society. But you don't really "learn" anything when reading the book ... it's after all fiction and not a physics textbook. Discuss your favourite/least favourite character.   My favorite character, at least at the end of the book was Cassia, the main character herself. She goes through the biggest changes and turns from someone swimming with the flow to a rebellious girl, that sees what is wrong with the society and knows what she wants. There is not really a character in specific I dislike. It is the entire society and all the Officials who are the bad ones in the story. I mean, if they didn't exist there would be no problems. Or even

Second post today! Damn, I'm good! (No, actually I'm just lazy as hell and do everything on the day I have to hand it in, but whatever...)

Summary : In the last few chapters the plot reaches its climax. Cassia will soon be assigned for her vocation, that's why she is asked to sort some workers as a test.

But to Cassias horror Ky is amongst the workers she has to sort. She completes the task like she's told, but in the end there is one person left. Ky. He is right in the middle of her list. She knows, that he will probably have a better life when she sorts him in the b

I haven't updated this blog for a long time now, which was partly because I thought I had missed the due date, and partly because I was waiting for something important to happen in the book. But that wasn't really the case. So I will now just sum up 17 chapters at once ... excuse me if I forget to mention some things. ^^ Summary : The last thing that happened was, that Cassias grandfather died and gave her that piece of paper from the compact. She first doesn't dare to open and look at it. This year she has signed up for hiking as her summer activity because her grandfather used to love hiking. The hikers are lead to a small hill, which they have to hike each person for himself and by the time Cassia is alone out in the woods she finally takes a look at the paper. It is a poem, that tells her to "not go gentle". It's not one of the 100 poems allowed by the society and she knows, that she has to destroy the poem. But while reading, she hears something move
