Question

What is one example of real-life government control that is like the type of control in the book “Matched” by Ally Condie?

Answer 1

To be honest, the government control in "Matched" is pretty unrealistic and it's pretty strict. I don't really think there are any real-life examples of this government control type but...

In "Matched"; you have to die at 80, your husband/wife is chosen by the "matching machine" (I forgot what it is called), you are given three pills (which the red one you must take if instructed and you can't take if they don't say so. If you don't do what they say, you will be punished. You can't really choose your life, and the things you can decide, your not ever allowed to change.

I don't really know any real-life examples of this but I heard that some Asian parents choose who you marry and you have to act like their your queen or king. If you disobey they will probably throw you out of the house.

Yeah but the government control type in the book "Matched" is really strict, and you don't have a lot of freedom.
