Reading Journal Week 13 - Literary Compare and Contrast - 2015

I am doing a Literary Compare and Contrast.
    Matched                               The Giver

                            Ally Condie                                                  Lois Lowery




Compare

In these books, people are deciding your life for you. They both have lack of freedom. In Match and the Giver they chose your jobs and your spouse. At a ceratin age in both of the books they have a ceromony to chose your job and spouse. In the giver, at the age of 12 people gather to hear what job they have given you. The Elders have obsevered you for your whole life so they could pick the right job for you. In match at the age of 16 they chose who you will marry. At the ceromony they both had something happen to them. In the Giver Jonas number was skiped and was called last and got the most honored job. In Match when it was her turn for her match to appear on the screen, it took a long time. She got scared the she didn't get a match but it turned out to be her bestfriend. They look kill people when they get to a certain age.

Contrast 

Even though the books have things the same they also have some differences. In the Giver the society can't see color only the receiver. In Match they have three tablets they need to take. They also chose your food portions. In Match they are not that strict what each age does.
