Cassia comes home after work, and notices something strange. Officials are at her house. Is this about the poem she isn't supposed to have; did Ky tell her secret? Are they telling her parents about the glitch on her micro-card? Or could it be something as simple as a food distribution check? What's going on? Millions of thoughts went through her mind, as did mine. So here are a bit of my thoughts and examples (some are not word for word quotes) (:
As Cassia opens the door, her brother Bram lets out a sigh and says, "You're back!" Confused, Cassia says, "What's wrong? Where are Papa and Mama?". "They're here." His voice shaking nervously. "The Officials are searching Papa." "Why?!" (pgs. 106-107)
She thinks to herself: He doesn't have the poems though. But could my mistake affect my family??
Cassia quickly went to her room return the secret poems from her pocket back into her compact, safely. Just in case she were to be searched too. She heard loud footsteps from out in the hall; as if they were looking specifically for her. The knob of her door then started to turn as she gasped (pretending she was changing) and said, "I'm changing!!"
Cassia walked out shortly after to her brother telling her that the Officials are searching their father because he has lost the tissue sample of their grandfather (his own dad). When someone passes on, Officials take the deceased's tissue sample, give it to the scientists to use in the lab to possibly bring him back. How could their father lose such an important thing? Wouldn't he want his father back? Did he 'lose' it on purpose? What the heck is going on?????????
All of these thoughts running through mine and Cassia's brain as I read through this chapter. There's so many different reasons or possibilities of why her father had done this, so the only way I can find out more is to continue reading (: Wish me luck!
Hi Lydia!
ReplyDeleteI read Matched last year and absolutley loved it! I went on and read Crossed also! I think that there is another book out in the series right now but I'm not sure. I remember this chapter very vividly, it was really intense and pretty confusing. So many thoughts and ideas were going through my head during this chapter. I originally thought that the officials were there because of the poem that was from her Grandfather.
HOpe you enjoy this book! It's great!
