Matched (the series) is about a girl named Cassia
that lives in a dystopian society and her life is
decided for her by the government on who she
loves, marries, where she lives, and when she
dies. The government decided her love would be
her best friend, Xander.
Spoiler Alert: This didn’t work out though, and
she fell in love with another boy named Ky. She
ends up in the end of the series in a farmland,
away from where she used to live when Ky went
to the army (sent by the government). She stayed
in love with Ky, but stayed friends with Xander in
the end.
Spoiler Alert

6. 
Based on evidence from the book, Cassia is brown haired and
green eyed. I drew this and her in a bubble with a green dress
on. I drew her in a bubble to make it like the cover of the first
book a bit. Also, I drew her in a green dress because in the
first book, she went to a banquet that would decide who she
loved for the reset of her life. She was in a green dress, like I
drew.

7. Do the names have to do with why the author
chose the name they did? Let’s see…
 Cassia~ an Old English Name
~a Latin name meaning vain and empty
~an African name meaning grass and
persuasive
~ In Hebrew it means cinnamon and cinnamonlike bark
 Maria-her middle name-In Hebrew and
means rebellious
