For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. Kiera Cass’ The Selection takes place in a country known as ‘Illea.’ This country has been separated into a caste system. Many years ago, a man named Gregory Illea made these castes based on how wealthy the people that lived there were. In present Illea, the children of the ancestors are forced to work where they had to work. America, an artist, gets sent a letter from the prince to be part of the Selection.The Selection is used to find a companion for the prince and provides entertainment for the citizens of Illea. Her parents keep pestering her about it and use persuasion to get America to sign up, but her heart is somewhere else. She is not able to tell her parents since he is in a lower caste than she is; when you marry, you stay in the same caste if you’re a boy and the girls do the moving.

That stupid letter could lift me out of the darkness, and I could…

It is to this same end that Keats cultivates the silent grounds of his sanctuary for Psyche, with everything that “the gardener Fancy e’er could feign” (62). In his discussion on Hölderlin, Heidegger reminds us that the poetic is not “merely an ornament and bonus added to dwelling” – but its simultaneous goal and condition.
