Crossed by: Ally Condie

Summary - Intro the book
              I have finished the book titled "Crossed" written by Allie Condie,which is,  the sequel to "Matched" by:Allie Condie. If you haven't read the first book,Matched i'll give you a brief summary about the book. Cassia and everyone else who just turned 17 are attending the party that will meet the person whom they will spend the rest of their lives with. Cassia is surprised when she ends up with her best friend Xander , towards the climax of the story a twist comes in where instead of falling in love with her chosen person she finds herself seeking out an aberration. In the second book, she is on her way to find Ky (if you want to know what happened to Ky read Matched), she is determined to find Ky after he was taken away.Will she find him or will she lose him  forever?
           In the book "Crossed"written by Allie Condie Cassia can be seen as a rebel, because the society that she lives in decides everything in her life , who she marries , when she has kids , her job, etc. We begin to really explore  her rebel side when she is with Ky when in reality she is destined to be with Xander.The text states,"So in the middle of all the noise, i point to the sky. I hope he understands what i mean, because i mean so many things;my heart will always fly his name. I wont go gentle ill find a way to soar like the angels in the stories and i will find him.And i know he understands as he looks straight at me, deep into my eyes. His lips move silently and i know what he says:the words of a poem that only two people in the world know."The best thing about  reading a book is reading in between the lies, reading this piece of text evidence , can we please analyze the part where Condie says ,"And i know he understands as he looks straight at me, deep into my eyes. His lips move silently and i know what he says:the words of a poem that only two people in the world know."We can easily tell that they share an amazing love and why should they hold so dear to their hearts a stanza of a poem. Also let's take a moment to analyze the part where she writes ," His lips move silently". He never repeats the words, that means that he didn't want somebody to hear them.To wrap it up, this piece of evidence shows that there is a connection between Ky and herself, when really that connections is supposed to be with Xander
