In Matched, the settings in each scene are vivid that you can imagine a picture of what's going on in the certain scene. The author uses descriptive words to create the effect that you imagine you are there. She describes ever single little detail to get the image across to the reader.
One of the scenes in the book that stood out with a lot of detail was what I have read recently. Cassia signed up for hiking as her summer leisure activity. When she was hiking up a hill, there was a very descriptive piece about her surroundings while climbing up. On page 95, there was a part that read; "It's not quiet in this forest, crowded with vegetation and thick, muggy morning air wet against my skin. Bugs hum and sing." and "My arm brushes against a leaf and a drop of dew falls onto the paper with a sound like ripe fruit dropping to the ground." This specific part really felt like you were in the forest with Cassia because there was very descriptive words that describes the scenery and sounds.
One other scene that was well-described was where it said; "I always enjoy these first few seconds in the theater before a showing, when all is dark and I am waiting." and "I might find myself completely alone. Or wondering if the lights won't come up at all." This part in page 88 made it seem that the reader was feeling what Cassia was a well. This was especially descriptive to put a picture in your mind because it's a realistic scenario.
