Condie, Ally. Matched. New York: Scholastic, 2010. Print.
Matched, by Allie Condie, is a science fiction book set in the future. So far in the story, the main character Cassia is on her way to her Match Banquet where she will learn who she will be placed with for the rest of her life. She is nervous and excited about the Banquet and happy that her best friend Xander is going with her.
The novel is written in first person point of view. I can tell because all of the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings are shared. Also, the explanative portion of the dialogue uses 1st person pronouns, such as I, me, or my.
“ ‘What are you smiling about?’ Xander wonders as I smooth the folds of my green silk dress down neat. ‘Everything,’ I tell him. And it’s true” (Condie 3).

Hahn, Mary Downing. The Old Willis Place. New York: Clarion Books, 2004. Print.
This book is about brother and sister Georgie and Diana who have been living in the woods behind The Old Willis Place, a decaying mansion. Strict rules won't let them leave the property or be seen by anyone. But a new caretaker comes and has a daughter named Lissa. Diana is tempted to break the rules and make friends with her.
The story is wrote in first point of view. I know this because it says all of Diana's thoughts. "Imagine what it would be like to have someone to talk to in this horrible place? I wondered." (Hahn 5).

Murdoch, Patricia. Exposure. Canada: Library of Congress, 2003. Print.
This week I started reading Exposure. So far it told me about Sammy. She's a freshman in high school. She's on the chubby side and gets made fun of by the popular girls in school. She found out bad stuff about Dana and Amy (girls who make fun of her) and she is gonna tell everyone.
The novel is in 1st person. i can tell because Sammy, the main character, uses words like I , me , and my. "I noticed Dana coming towardes us. I tensed up, right on cue" (Murdoch 3).
