If you were Tally, would you ask the Warden to make you pretty?
ABSOLUTELY. Just to make it up to everyone Tally hurt. Also to prove to all those doctors trying to hide the lesions, to prove it to everyone.

Confessions (post 51)
Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind about her?
She will probobly regret it. But it's better to just regret that than much more, she did the right thing.
David will definitely change his mind about her, but I think he should try to find the better in Tally.

Hippocratic Oath (post 50)
Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?
YES, FORCE IT DOWN HER PRETTY LITTLE THROAT! jk. but yes she shoulda forced her. Shay would have been better off with her non-diseased brain.

If you were Shay would you get the cure? Why or why not?
I would, because I wouldn't want to be some crazy freak who wanted to brush their hair 24/7.

Get Away (post 48)
Respond: "Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friend's thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."
Tally knows Shay is a different person she wants Shay to notice that. Tally is sure Shay has the lesions. She knows her real friend is somewhere deep down in the selfish, inconsiderate pretty.

Inside (post 46)
Is this quote a play on words, or does it have a deeper meaning to the story? "Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging." she read softly. "Operating Theatre Two."
This probobly has a deeper meaning. I'm not exactly sure in what way, but I know for sure an author wouldn't put something so suspicious in their book if it didn't mean anything.
labels:
long term detention-Kind of like and ISS
interrigation room-questioning room
disorientation room-a room for the confused
radiology room-a room for treatment of disease
neurology room- having to do with the nerves;a room treating the disease of the nervous system
magnetic imaging room-?
operating theatre two-watch the operations
Shay's appearance at the end of the chapter (textual evidence):
"She was tall and elegant, every feature profection. Her eyes-deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold-wordlessly, and she raised one gracefully hand. Tally almost stopped at the beauty of her confusion."

Over the Edge (post 45)
In this chapter a few uglies go to New Pretty Tjown to do a "trick" They make the words "THE SMOKE LIVES" with sparklers. If you had one chance post a message important to you, what would it be? and why?
Hi. I'm Caitlyn. I wanted you to know that. Because I'm important to the world.

Accomplices (post 44)
The Uglis they met in the chapter are similar to Tally in the beginning of the book. When you compare het to these Uglies, how has Tally changed and what has made her change?
Tally was living a normal Ugly life. She ate. slept. lived life. and that was pretty much it. Until Shay crashed her dreams of a normal life. Kind of like those action movies where they're on top of the train fighting, and it's life or death. Tally has to find Shay or it's ugly for life, or a pretty, what she's always dreamed of. Basically Tally runs into this little thing called reality. She finds life holds so many things, even bad ones. She changed for the better. She realized what had to be done, and life isn't fair. I think the whole Smoke thing made her change, and find who she really was, and what she really had to do.

Familiar Sights (post 43)
Do you think Tally's plan will work? David wants to save his parents, but what's driving Tally? Do you think she is crazy, or are her feelings valid?
Yes, Tally is doing the right thing. she hurt David and his mother, and everyone else at the Smoke. She owes all of them. She had to do it for David. I think her feelings are how they should be.

Oil Plague (post 42)
How do Tally & David describe the Rusties? Is it accurate?
In a way yes, but no. It's just that technology had progressed, and we were "stupid". We didn't know about the importance of recycling. Or that things could work how they did for Uglyville and New Pretty Town.
The weaknesses of our society:
People are do things they shouldn't, like rob banks. Which includes money, which is another problem, that I shouldn't get into on the internet, more important on my SCHOOLWORK.
The weaknesses of their society:
They judge by looks.

Is David right? Is Tally amazing? Do you think she should be feeling guilty? Why or why not?
David is right Tally is amazing, AMAZING AT LIEING. Tally should feel so guilty, that she feels sick. She should feel guilty because of all the people she has hurt with her lies, David will be so disappointed when he finds out she's the reason the town is under attack, and everyone is being captured.

Who is the voice in the dark? Do you think it will be a friend or enemy to Tally? What do you think Tally will do now?
The voice is David. He is a friend. Tally will probobly stay in the cave until they can come out when its safe enough.

In Case of Damage (post 37)
Explain what self preservation means to you. Is it the most important thing? Would you lie because of it?
Self preservation to me is like a very dangerous weapon, you should only use it when your in need of it, not when you didn't do your homework and your parents are mad, and threatening to ground you, because things can go veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery wrong.
I don't believe self preservation is the most important things, I think you should put others first, but now and again yourself, only when you have to.
I wouldn't lie to keep myself out of trouble. LIEING WILL ONLY PUT YOU DEEPER. ONCE AGAIN, LIEING WILL ONLY PUT YOU DEEPER IN THE SITUATION, AND THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE. So your best bet is really just to spill your guts, take the consequenses,and be done.

Tally had changed hher mind about the Smoke and the operation, but what willl she do about all that now? Whose side is she on?
I think Tally is really confused, and scared, and she really doesn't know whose side to be on.

Invasion (post 35)
Is this the climax of the book?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! It has to be. Tally now has her life on the line, will she turn pretty or be stuck and ugly forever? I believe it's the climax mostly because you don't know what's going to happen next, Tally could go back and turn pretty, or she might go back and ugly, and stay and ugly.

Burning Bridges (post 34)
"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful."
Name 1 person in your personal (home) life and 1 in your academic life... what makes this person beautiful?
personal life: One person in my personal life that I find beautiful, would probobly be... my mom just because of her good heart, and fun and loving personality. Kind of like in the book, David finds Tally's soul beautiful, not her face, you don't have to be a pretty face for someone to call you beautiful, my moms beautiful because she loves me.
academic life:
I find my teachers beautiful. I think my teachers are beautiful, beacause of how intelligent they are, and how much they know, and can teach. Teachers it may seem are annoying sometimes, but when you get thrown out into the big, old cruel world, your going to look back at all those years, and your going to be thanking them for putting you on the right path, and teaching you all the right things.

Pretty Minds (post 33)
Respond to the following quote:
"Becoming pretty doesn't just change the way you look...it changes the way you think."
What does this mean to you?
How would you want to change mentally and physically if you were pretty? (habits,intelligence,and physical attributes)
This quote is saying once you walk out of the hospital as a pretty you are a totally different person.Your body isn't the only thing that changes in the operation, your mind and thoughts change too. You might go in as a sweet, generous person, and come out as this snobby, stuck-up jerk who turns away their friends (Peris).
I would want to become smarter in so many ways, I'd also want to become stronger, and more muscular.

The Secret (post 32)
What does the following quote tell you about the city and society in general? "but you do know about genetics don't you? Sure I know all about genes. I knew two sisters, uglies, who looked almost the same. but parents and children? That's just wierd."
No one is pretty, which means people can look alike.
Predict what you think being pretty is:
a trait that some people are blessed with

Bravery (post 31)
example of imagery, personification, and simile:
imagery: "The orchids glowed with pale malevolence in the moonlight, a frozen sea against the dark forest shore." pg 245
personification: "...choking the life out of other plants, out of soil itself, selfish and unstoppable." pg 244
simile: "Without even trying, she'd shafted her best friend, like a walking poison, she killed everything." pg 244
Does it require bravery to meet David's parents? Why or why not?
It definitely does require bravery, because his parents could find out she isn't who she says she is.

Suspicion (post 30)
Do you think Shay has a right to be jealous of Tally? Why or why not?
She kind of has a right, because every once in a while everyone gets caught by that big green monster (jealousy). And she kind of did have David first.
Tally received a gift from David in the chapter that is special. Have you ever recieved something that made others jealous as this gift did? Did yours have a meaning behind it as Tally's had.
Not exactly but I understand where Tally is coming from.

Why would it have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant whe she got to the Smoke? Explain.
She wouldn't have fallen in love with it, and began to like it, and the people there.

David (post 28)
If David's parents were doctors, why do you think they ran away? Support your answer with textual evidence.
I think they ran away because they were just creating obsessed, excited, dumb, and pretty freaks!

Work (post 27)
I don't find anything about this picture ugly. But there are a few things I find quite beautiful. My favorite in this picture is the rock. I like it because it shows a natural beauty, it isn't fake. No one made it, except for God of course. If this explains it any better, I would totally live there. I can see some small houses in the picture, so I'm guessing a few people agree with me.
