Post 3: Book 1 Project


Cassia waited 17 years to find out her match.  Now, you can find out yours.  Who will YOU be Matched with? The smart, competitive and attractive, Xander Carrow? Or the cute, knowledge-seeking, Cassia Reyes? Find out yours at www.MyMatch.com.
 
The idea behind "creating" another electronic match-making website is how it connects to how you would be Matched with someone, just like in the book.  In Matched, Cassia Reyes is Matched with Xander Carrow (her best friend) and they, just like every other 17 year-old in the book are in the Matching Pool.  “‘The odds of a mistake being made…are virtually nonexistent,’” because through advanced psychological and statistical techniques, “the goal of Matching is twofold: to provide the healthiest possible future citizens for our Society and to provide the best chances for interested citizens to experience successful Family Life.”  60 seconds after you submit your personal questionnaire, www.MyMatch.com will automatically enters you into the Matching Pool, you have your perfect Match. You can “read all [their] stats and review all the courtship guidelines.”
 
I think this will work because as I was reading the book, I wondered who I’d be matched with if I lived in the Society.  I think that fans of the book will be thrilled to see that they can now extend their love for the book and find their perfect Match.  This would be a great way to gain attention for Matched because this website simulates the real Matching (except for the Match Banquet) and gives you stats about your Match, what he/she likes and doesn’t like as well as your likelihood of staying together.  The website would need constant updating.  Adding new characters as other books came out would be a great way for fans of the book to stay connected.
 
Sample Questions: What would you do in your leisure time?  What sport/game do you hate the most?  What’s your favorite time of year?
