If you were Tally, would you ask the Warden to make you pretty?



Yes. That way the promise made to Maddy would be kept. I would be scared but in order to test out the cure I would.

Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind on her?

I don't think Tally will regret it because she finally feels a big weight of her shoulders. I think David will not change his mind about her.

Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?

No. The cure has some risks. Maybe Shay could have turned into a vegetable. Shay can chose to be cured because it's her life.

If you were Shay, would you get the cure? Why or why not?

Yes i would because i'd rather know what's happening and try to save people. I don't think i'd be able to live not knowing the truth.

Blog Post #48 "Get away"

Respond to the following quote from the chapter... what does it mean to you? "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."

I think it's talking about how Shay's changing, how she's no the same. It's describing what Shay is going through. The changing of her brain in a cruel way.

Blog Post #47 "Rescue"

Blog Post #46 "Inside"

Is this quote a play on words, or does it have adeeper meaning to the story?
"Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theathre Two."

I think it has a deeper meaning. It kind of shows the horrors of becoming a pretty in a way.

What "labels" do Tally and David find in the Special Circumstances building? Give a BRIEF description of what you think each means.

Neurology- They study your nerves.
Radiology- Something to do with x-rays.
Magnetic Imaging- They make your face perfect and simmetrical.

Describe Shay's appearance at the end of the chapter using textual evidence.

"She was tall and elegant, every feature perfection. Her eyes-deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold- widened with a troubled look."

Blog Post #45 "Over the Edge"

In this chapter a few uglies go to New Pretty Town to do a "trick." They make the words "THE SMOKE LIVES" with sparklers. If you had ONE chance to post a message important to you, what would it be and why?

I would write "MOVE ALONG WHEN THINGS GET HARD" i would write this because it seems so motivational. This would be great for when you feel down.

Blog Post #44 "Accomplices"

The Uglies they met in this chapter are similar to Tally at the beginning of the book. When you compare her to these Uglies, how has Tally changed and what has made her change?

Tally seems mor mature than the little uglies because now she knows the truth. She knows what's behind the pretty operation. She's had more experience than them.

Blog Post #43 "Familiar Sights"

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 I think Tally's plan will work. I think what's driving Tally is guilt. She feels bad about everything she's done and wants to fix her doings. Her feelings are valid because she knows what she did wrong.

Blog Post #42 "Oil Plague"

How do David and Tally describe the Rusties? Is it accurate?

They describe the Rusties as a horrible time period. They thought of Rusties as idiotic.

What are weaknesses of OUR society?
The pollution and over population.

What are weaknesses of THEIR society?
People are starting to see through their disguise. They'd go to the extreme to have a perfect society.
