So I read Matched and my favourite part was when she stepped on the lost tablets and was all, "Bluegreenred." Of course that would be the only thing I approved of in the whole book. Of course I would do this the day before two finals. Of course.

xviii. bluegreenred

sometimes, she feels blue

sadmadbad, like she's floating away

but that doesn't make sense,

because she's not floating,

she's anchored safeandsteady.

and sometimes, she feels green

poisonous and brandnew

but that doesn't make sense,

because words can't possibly be poisonous

and she's been here too long to be brandnew.

but sometimes, she feels red

raging and cursing and raving

but that doesn't make sense,

because the bluegreen world doesn't have any room for red

so she pretends to be shiny white and clean

and perfect.
