Respond to the following quote:
"Everywhere she went, eyes looked away. But it was the most visible she'd ever felt"
Tally doesn't feel like she's being watched but like shes being acknowledged by other people. She feels like the world is shunning her because she didn't turn into a pretty when she was supposed to. Everyone is trying to ignore her because they know of what happened to her and they probably pity her because of that. The world is probably afraid to be near her because they feel that if they do get near to her they might not turn into a pretty.

Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you?
"We don't have to look like everyone else, Tally, and act like everyone else. We've got a choice. We can grow up any way we want"

Blog Post#12 "Waiting for David"
What does the following quote from the chapter tell you about the city?
"That was one thing about being outside the city: It made all that nature stuff they taught at school seem a lot more useful. She remembered now how rainwater fell on the mountains and soaked into the ground.."
Since the uglies live in a high-tech city they don't usually get to see anything real. Thy live in a city that consists of pure technology and barely anything you see there is natural. They barely see mountains, trees, and many other things that are part of nature.
