Matched Blog Post 2

The theme about not going gentle, and fighting for what you want was a big theme. The poem showed up many times but Cassia did not really fight or rage against the dying of the light until the end when Ky leaves. I thought that she would protest or find a way to let the people of the society have their freedom, but nothing like that happened. I can relate Matched to another book- Farenheit 451. In that book, the main character actually fights to stop the burning of the books and goes against the society, while in Matched Cassia does not fight to save her artifact, the mapletrees, her grandfather, or her love for Ky. She does say that she will fight and that she will not go gentle. This indicates that she might truly fight through her words, or in other ways. But I still think that the book would've gone well if she remembered the poem and actually fought when they took away the things close to her.
