Crossed By Ally Condie

So I just started reading this book called Crossed by Ally Condie. Again, I'm only half way done so I'll just write about what I have already read. So the first part of the book is basically the two main characters trying to find each other. Each were relocated to different parts of The Outer Provinces which apparently is where non-citizens live, in the eyes of a huge government called The Society. One of the main characters Cassie was relocated into a village where she has to work as a farmer while Ky the other main character is shipped to an abandoned village where a war is going on. Cassie finds a way to get to Ky but when she gets their she realizes that Ky has fled to a place called The Canyons to try and find her. Cassie and her new friend follow Ky and his two new friends into the Canyon. Along the way each character learns new things, things that could change the way she sees her world. A rebellion is taking place and is being led by a person called the Pilot. Now, Cassie and her friend have two goals: find Ky and find the Rebellion.

Cassie is a strong determined person although she might not notice it most of the time. Cassie was given tablets by the Society, red erases your memory, blue is poisoned and green calms you. Now all these tablets are something good to Cassie but only because she was told a lie. Cassie's grandfather told her never to take the tablets because she was strong enough to go with out them. In the story Cassie gets to a point were she thinks she's going insane so she takes the blue tablet but instead of dieing she isn't effected by the poison. In the book Cassie's friend Indie says, " If it was going to work, it would have by now, Indie says to Cassie. You must have walked through it somehow . I've never heard of anyone doing that." This quote shows that even though Cassie took the poisonous tablet she was strong enough to beat it both physically and emotionally.
