If you were Tally, would you ask the warden to mae you pretty?
Well, I might not, it takes alot of thinking. I wouldn't because, if the pill dosen't work, then she's stuck like that. But if it did work then her and shay could be normal again. I'd probabley leave it to a phsycic to be honest.

Confessions
Tally has finally coem clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind about her?
No,because it may seem bad at first, but in the end at least she has a clean conscience.
I think, that he might trust her less.

Hippocratic Oath
Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or Why not?
No, because what if it didn't work and there was something in the pill she was allergic to and it killed her?

Night Alone
If you were Shay would you get the cure why, or why not?
I woukd DEFINATELY get the cure, because i wouldn't want to live my life totally oblivious to what's really going on, but then again I wouldn't really know what the point of being ugly would be, because that's what they're transformed to think.

Rescue
Give a chronological list of events in the chapter. What's the kicker at the end of the chapter?
David and Tally find shay
She's pretty
They escape the old smokies
Maddy steals the ring
The kicker is that Maddy tells David that Az is dead!

Inside
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."
I think it has a deeper meaning to the story.
What "labels" do Tally & David find in the special circumstancea building? Give a brief descriptionof what you thin each means.
The interrogation rooms, isolation rooms, and disorientation rooms.
The interrogation rooms are for getting info out of uglies.
The isolation room is where they isolate people if they don't speak up so they'll eventually just come clean about everything.
and the disorientation room is where they clear all past memories.
Describe Shay's appearance at the end of the chapter using textual evidence.
Tall, elegant,every feature perfection, her eyes deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold.
So in other words in my opinion she was a typical "pretty."

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?
Well I dont know what I would say, I guess i would say don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't be.

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 made her change?
Tally is now more aware of what becoming "pretty" means, and I think she understands that theres more to life then becoming what other people think is "pretty."

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 friends feelings valid?
I think her plan will work. I think what's driving Tally is how she feels bad about the Rusty Ruin's, and how it was her fault about everything that happend, and she feels this is how she wants to make it up to him. I think her feelings are valid.

Oil Plague
How do David and Tally describe the Rusties? Is it accurate?
They describe it as dumb, dangerous,stupid, idiotic, I don't think that's accurate.
What are weaknesses of our society?
Murder, stealing, economy, stock market, pollution.
What are weaknesses of their society?
The oil plague, becoming pretty, runaway uglies.

Describe the irony in Tally's victory over Dr. Cable. What was lost in the process?
It's ironic, because she thins she beat Dr. Cable, or is victorious, but really its her fault that the Rust Ruins are totally ruined.

What does the following quote from the chapter tell you about the city?
"That was the one thing about being outside the city:It made all that nature stuff they caught in school seem alot more useful. She remembered now how rainwater fell on the mountains and soaked into the ground..."
That it's more naturey, and everything there is totally different from pretty town.

In this chapter Tally says " i kind of like being fooled about some things." Do you agree with Tally, or would you rather know the reality behind everything? Why?
I like to know the reality behind everything, because i don't like being fooled.
Information on whit rafting:
It is interesting to note that whitewater rafting was one of the earliest forms of transportation. It was not only used for carrying people but also for transferring goods from one place to another. However, it became quite popular as a form of leisure activity in the 1980s.
In 1811, the first recorded attempt to navigate the Snake River in Wyoming was planned by the Overland Astorians. While attempting to boat the stretch below Jackson Hole, the river was found to be too treacherous and it came to be called ?Mad River.?
The rubber river raft is believed to have been invented in the early 1840s. It was first made by Lt. John Fremont, who was then serving in the U.S army and Horace H. Day. They invented the rubber raft with the intention of surveying the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Although the raft was invented in the mid-nineteenth century, it was not until the turn of the century that the first ever commercial whitewater trip was undertaken. At first, surplus military rafts were used as boats and it was only much later that inflatable rafts were used.
Private companies played a major role in augmenting the rafting business. In 1956, one of the members of the most affluent business families of America, John D. Rockefeller built a resort that introduced one of the first floating trips in the country. However, it only evoked a lukewarm response. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, exclusive whitewater rafting companies were formed. These include the Becker-Cooke Expeditions, Hatch River Expeditions and Slickrock Adventures.
Rafting was first included in the Munich Olympic Games, 1972. Subsequently, it was included in the 1992 Barcelona Games and the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1996, the Ocoee River in Tennessee Valley played host to the whitewater events of the Summer Olympic Games.

Pretty boring
Describe the Rusty Ruins. What are they? What happend during this time period?
The Rusty Ruins are an old abandoned town that no one visits anymore, Taylly and Shay went hover boarding.
Define peer presure. Think of a time when it happened to you or someone you know and explain the situation in a paragraph.
Peer presure is when someone try's to get you to do something because they think it's cool.
A couple of years ago we had a snow day and it was freezing. School was canceled so she had some friends over. All of them tjought it would be cool to jump in the pool that was FREEZING. But my frined didn't want to jump in because she was scared, but her frineds pressured her in to doing it, and she got pnemonia shortly after.

Facing the future.
Reflect on the following qutoes from the chapter, what does each mean to you?
"Making ourselves feel ugly is not fun.".....
"This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves."
"Everyone judged everyone else based on their appeaarance. People who were taller got better jobs.....People killed one another over stuff like having different skin color." (reffering to when everyone was ugly)
"It's the only way to make people equal." (becoming pretty)
I think they mean that in order to feel like they are accepted, they have to be a "pretty."

Think of another book, movie, or comic in which people use hoverboards. How are they used? If possible post a video of this.
Jimmy Neutron uses hoverboards to get to school sometimes, or when he's in a hurry.
Why do you think the new pretties don't come back to visit Uglyville? Describe their physical and mental transformation into new pretties.
Because, they are not allowed out of their town, and can't associate with uglys. They are pretty, and flawless, and they are confident.

Shay
Write a one paragraph summary of the chapter.
Tally was escaping from the pretty mansion party, and was trapped in a bush. She thought the person outside of the bush was a warden but it was really just Shay. Shay was an ugly like Tally, who had friends that became pretty's. After getting to know each other they ride a hovel board thing to the other side of the river.
What have you learned about Shay? Is she like Tally? Make a prediction about what will happen between Tally and Shay.
I think that Tally and Shay will become best friends, and forget about their pretty friends.

Characterization- Tally- Ugly, nerdy, loosing her best friend.
Characterization-Peris- Pretty, popular, not a good friend.
What do you think about the friendship of Tally and Peris? Are they best friends? Why or why not?
I don't think they are best friends, because best friends don't ditch their best friend just to be a 'pretty.'

Find and quote ONE oxymoron from the chapter or ONE example of irony.
'Drum machine'
Q. Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed "white tie."
A. So no one would recognize her.
Masks history:
a form of disguise. It is an object that is frequently worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being. This essential characteristic of hiding and revealing personalities or moods is common to all masks. As cultural objects they have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age and have been as varied in appearance as in their use and symbolism.
http://www.anymask.com/historyofmask.html
How does this relate to Tally's decision?
Because she tries to hide her ugliness and to cover up her face.

Q.How would you define beauty? What would the world be like if everyone was "beautiful."
A. I think that beauty is not just looks, but personality too. I think if the world was beautiful inside and out, there would be less crime, or harsh judgment, but i also don't think people would get to express themselves.
