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 weird."
Responce: Wow. I can't believe that, in a world of vast knowledge, the children don't even know about genetic traits. The plastic surgery has gotten so good, that no one even remembers that your children are suppost to look like you.
Predict what you think being "pretty" is.
Answer: Being pretty is being yourself. You were born pretty. Don't let society tell you what you are. Let you tell you what you are, and that is pretty. If you think you aren't pretty, then go take a good, long look in the mirror, and then try to tell me that you aren't. That's my perspective.

Blog post #30-- "Suspicion"
Do you think Shay has a right to be jealous of Tally? Why or why not?
Answer: No, Shay doesn't. She should be happy for Tally. She shouldn't be so selfish, besides, Shay was the one who had told Tally to come. Thus, she brought the whole situation into play, and who cares? Shay is only jealous because David doesn't take interest in her.
Tally Received a gift from David in the chapter that is special. Have you ever received something that made others jealous as this gift did? Did your gift have a meaning behind it as Tally's had?
Answer: More or less, no. In my family, my parents treat us equally. As for relationship wise, I don't recall.

Blog post #29-- "Heartthrob"
Why would it have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the smoke? Explain.
Answer: It would have been easier, because she wouldn't have had time to fall in love with the smoke. Tally comes to find out that she's in love with the place. Not just with the place either, David. How could she betray everyone now?

Blog post #28-- "David"
If David's parents wer doctors, why do you think they ran away?
Answer: I think I'd run away if I knew that I was messing up evrybody's chance of thinking normally! Why in the world would anyone want to do that anyway? Are our minds to fragile to comprehend what we like and don't like, or what we can and can't do?
Support your answer with textual evidence.
Answer: The reason Davids' parents ran away: They would not bring harm to the patients. They also stated that the "Lesions" were most likely coming from to much anasthesia.

Blog post #27--"Work"
Find an image of a skyline like the one Tally sees. Post it. What is beautiful about it? Is there anything ugly about it?
What's not to love about this skyline? It's perfect how it is. Look at the orange, pinkish haze the sun gives off from the mist. It reminds me of when Tally saw "The Smoke" she could see the smoke cover up the civilization below.

Blog Post #7 (Wipeout)
Question 1: Think of another movie, book, etc, in which people use hoverboards. How are they used?( IF POSSIBLE) post a video.
Anwer: Okay, I thought of the fantastic Four, rise of the silver surfer, because he's zooming across the earth on this magnetic board and sucking all the life out of the planet. The silver surfer never falls off of the board unless he gets off. This kind of reminds me of Tally and her hoverboard. Here is a link to a video I found of the silver surfer:

Question 2: Why do you think the new Pretties don't come back to Uglyville to visit?
Describe their Physical, and mental transformations into new Pretties.
Answer #1: The reason is because they now think that just because they are "pretty" they now live a higher standerd life than all other life forms. Keep away from uglies, and don't become ugly again.
Answer #2: Once on the operating table, the doctors strech and grind the bones into correct shape untill all parts are the symetrical. Then comes the facial atributions, the cheek bones are implanted and all fat is sucked away to shape a lean and cut face. Then the brain is cured of all ugly habbits including biting your nails. The others is forgetting completely about how you used to feel as an ugly.
