Below is a link to a book review of my favorite book collections. "Matched", by Ally Condie is a trilogy about a dystopian society, where officials decide the entire life a person will live. Officials of the Society determine their occupation, their spouse, their diets, and when they will die. The main character, Cassia, believes completely in the society until her grandfather "dies". She then begins to realize flaws in the system of the Society once her match is chosen for her. In connection to "Never Let Me Go", Cassia has her entire life mapped out for her, similar to the clones, yet she decides to find more flaws in the system and continues to go against it in her own small ways. The Society is all Cassie ever knew, just as the donation system was all Kathy ever knew about. Kathy never thought of going against donations or running away, but once she saw Tommy and her had the possibility for a life together she decided she would attempt to get a deferral. In both situations, the loss of a loved one triggered an attempt at rejecting what they were meant to do, or in the cases of the donors, what they were made to do. In many scenarios throughout life we see people doing anything for the ones they love, even if it means going against all they know.
