Blue, Green, Red


            A tablet in the Matched society is something you can’t lose.  If you lose your tablet container your world might just come crashing down.  Losing your tablet container is like losing your mind.  It’s something that’s always there, it’s something you just never forget or leave behind.  A red tablet or green tablet or blue tablet it doesn’t matter which tablet it is just never leave any behind.  Sleep with it, eat with it, and dream with it, this tablet container is now forever a part of you. 

            Always having your tablet container in the Matched society is like a law in the United States.  Every person in the Matched society is required to have all of their tablets, red, green, and blue wherever they go.  You never know when you will need your tablets to save your life.   On page 50 of Matched someone at the games lost their tablet container.  An official made an announcement and everyone had to freeze.  Isn’t it frustrating when you have to stop what you’re doing because someone else made a mistake?  It’s like when someone loses a tablet container it suddenly becomes everyone else’s problem.  The room goes silent and Cassia feels something under her foot.  The lost tablet container has been crushed bluegreenred.  Now the lost tablets, not even her own have suddenly become the fault of Cassia Reyes.  Losing your tablet container is like losing your mind.  Readers, I hope you never lose something as important as your mind because then your world may just come crashing down too.

  1. Great emphasis on on the tablets. You could really tell how important it was by your constant reminder through out your post that you can not lose or forget you tablet/ tablet container ever. I also liked how you made it even more emphasized with the reference to when Cassia crushed someone else's lost tablet container.

  2. Hey Lauren, long time no see! I think i remember trying to read this book last year but the biginning never really pulled me in so i abandoned it after about 30 pages. This post actually made it seem interesting and I think i will pick it up again. Maybe i just wasn't far enough into the book to really understand it.
