Down River (post 52)

No, because i wouldn't want to be pretty knowing what would happen to my brain. I would want her to give them to Shay.

Confessions (post 51)

I think that Tally will regret it for a little while but not long. I think that David will be disappointed in her, but he will forgive her, because he saw the beauty in her when she was "Ugly".

Hippocratic Oath (post 50)

Yes, because Shay can't think for herself. Maddy knows better ad should give her the cure. Maddy knows that this will help her and that this is what she wanted before she was brainwashed.

Night (post 49)

No, because i wouldn't know that there was something wrong with my brain. i would think i was happy and healthy.

Get Away (post 48)

Tally feels like she's lost shay because she has no memory/an or "brain". Shay won't understand anything that she used to understand and believe in. Tally feels as if shes not the same person.

Rescue (post 47)

1.Tally and David sneak over the wall of SC.
2.They break in though the elevator shaft.
3. they Knock out Dr. cable and find Maddy.
4. They find Shay...
And shes pretty......

Over the Edge (post 45)

"We'll always be here" because That would say that no matter how hard SC tried to get rid of the Smoke, it would always survive somehow.

Accomplices (post 44)

She has become more wise and more knowing of the inter working of her society. She is involved with the real government, and the young Uglies are still ignorant.

Familier Sights (post 43)

I think that Tally's plan will work. I think that she really does care about Az, Maddy, and the rest of the Smokies.

Oil Plague (post 42)

They describe them as savages who were barley making it by alive. i don't think there assumption is accurate.

Our weaknesses are Resources, Power, and Money.

Their weaknesses are War, Peace, and Power.

Maddy and Az (post 41)

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.[1][2] The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.

2,973 victims and the 19 hijackers died as a result of the attacks.[3] The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries.[4] In addition, the death of at least one person from lung disease was ruled by a medical examiner to be a result of exposure to dust from the World Trade Center's collapse.[5]

The United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on Terrorism. It invaded Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists. The United States also enacted the USA PATRIOT Act. Many other countries also strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers. Some American stock exchanges stayed closed for the rest of the week following the attack and posted enormous losses upon reopening, especially in the airline and insurance industries. The destruction of billions of dollars worth of office space caused serious damage to the economy of Lower Manhattan.

The damage to the Pentagon was cleared and repaired within a year, and the Pentagon Memorial was built on the site. The rebuilding process has started on the World Trade Center site. In 2006 a new office tower was completed on the site of 7 World Trade Center. 1 World Trade Center is currently under construction at the site and, at 1,776 ft (541 m) upon completion in 2013, it will become one of the tallest buildings in North America. Three more towers were originally expected to be built between 2007 and 2012 on the site. Ground was broken for the Flight 93 National Memorial on November 8, 2009, and the first phase of construction is expected to be ready for the 10th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2011.[6]

Inside (post 46)

Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "operating theater two. I think it has a deeper meaning to the story. It's basically showing all of the horrible rooms they change people in. What "labels" do Tally and David find in the Special Circumstances building? Give a brief description of what you think each means. Radiology- i think this means this is where they do x-rays. Neurology- I think this means where they study the brain. Magnetic imaging- I think this is where they take pictures. Operating theater two- I think this is where they operate on people. Interrogation room one- I think this is where they interview people like in a bad way. Diorentation room one- I think this is where the people go who's surgery's messed them up. Long term dentention- I think this is where they stay if they're being held captive. Describe Shay's appearance at the end of the chapter using textual evidence. Tall, elegant, eyes deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold widened broad smile.

Ruin (post 40)

Shay and Az were lost during the whole thing. I think that tally won, but eventually will have risked every ones lives for nothing because she will turn pretty later In.

Post 39

Davids right, Tally is amazing. I think she should feel guilty because she lied and betrayed them. She is amazing because she had the bravery to go out of the town shes lived in her entire life and search for a place that might not even exist.

Run (post 38)

I think that it is David in the cave. Therefore, it is a friend.I think they will both try to save the smokies from the specials.

In Case Of Damage (post 37)

No, my friends and family are way more important than myself. Self preservation means to save your self, even if it means hurting someone else.

The Rabbit Pen (post 36)

She is on the Smoke's side. Unfortunately, shes about to get busted for being a spy and traitor to the people she now cares about.

Invasion (post35)

I think this is the climax for many reasons. One. because Tally wakes up and realizes that she never want to leave the smoke, and she had Friends here. Two, because SC finally finds the smoke, and now everyone knows that there was a spy. Lastly, because Tally will be found out as the spy and as a traitor.

Burning Bridges (post 34)

My brother, Brian, because he is always happy no matter what and ALWAYS has a good attitude about everything. And outside of home, Phil, because he is always kind and sweet. He is a good Christean who is very funny and lots of fun to be around.

Pretty Minds (Post 33)

I would want to change my face and the way i look but keep some of my features. I wouldn't want to change my mind at all because that's the way i am, and i don't want to be a brainless pretty.

The Secret (post 32)

I think that the city has manipulated the kids into thinking that its weird to look like your parents, because before you parents were pretty they were ugly, so if you look like the then you must be ugly.

I think pretty will be when you have no responsibilities, no work, only play and good tines. but there has to be a flaw in there somewhere, right?

Bravery (post31)

Yes it requires bravery to meet Davids parents, because Tally had never met and Ugly older than 16 besides the boss

Suspicion (post30)

I think that Shay should be jealous of Tally because Shay was there first, and i would be upset if someone else came along and stole my boyfriend.


One time a Friend gave me these really cool earrings that my other Friend had wanted. Her birthday was very close to mine, so she expected to get the earrings, but she never did. She was very jealous about them, and later i found out that my two Friends had gotten in a fight.

Hearthrob (post29)

Yes because then she wouldn't have gotten to know them. She also wouldn't have gotten used to living there and liked it and gotten attached to it.

David (post 28)

Because they found out that the operation was really bad and not good like everyone thought.

Work (post 27)

I think that the brown grass is the only Ugly thing. I really think that the most beautiful thing is the sky, then after that, the purple mountains in the background, and lastly the gorgeous white clouds.

The model (post 26)

I think that shay was decribing what models look like now. SAhe was descirbing how they were to skinny. Tally thought they looked like Pretties who had to much fat sucked out. Theyw ere right about how they starved themselves to better. They also talked how the surgery was suppose to help stop this "disease".

David:Hes an Ugly with good featurs, he's a good freind

bug eyes (24)

tally had to stay with shay in the wild, but abd the only way is to turn her in.

The side you despise (post 22)

I think its the smoke in the helicopter

The Worst mistake (post 21)

Yes, My mom went to china and i had to stay here.


I think that the flying machine will start the fire.

Spagbol (post 20)

My dried food would be called Instant sou. All you have to is put the powder in water, and the soup is instantly heated and made.

If i were to leave home, I would miss...
1.My bed
2.Air conditioning
3. Good food
4.Running water (includes toilets)
5. Computer
6.My Friends and family.

Leaving (post 19)

I think Tally leaves to find Shay because she wants both her and Shay to turn pretty and be happy together.

Infiltrator (post 18)

Chrono. Order. for Infiltrator on Pg.120
1.Tally goes back to Special Circumstances.
2. Dr. Cable asks for the whole truth.
3.Tally gives all the information she knows.
4.Dr. Cable tells Tally she is going to the smoke.
5. Tally prepares t leave for the Smoke.

"Peris" (post 17)

I think Peris came back so that he could find out if all the rumors were true and to encourage her to go on the journey so she can become pretty.

Textual Evidence "I mean, I already told everybody about that night you pulled the fire alarm"

Ugly for Life (post 16)

"Every where she went, eyes looked away. It was the most visible she had ever felt"
It's saying that since people are noticing that she is still ugly, that they don't want to look at her, which makes her feel singled out. It actually quit ironic really.

Special Circumstances (post 15)

Tally is taken to a building with more "scary pretties". She is told it is called special circumstances. The oringinal scray pretty comes out and tells her that the doctor is ready to see her. Dr. Cable is another scary pretty. She starts questioning Tally about Shay. Then she asks flat out where she went. When Tally says she doeant know, she tells her that she can die ugly.

Operation (post 14, B)

Tally is getting ready for the operation. She is packed and ready to go when the hover car pulls up. She climbs in with as little belongings as possible. She is on her way to the Hospital in New Pretty town where everyone goes. When she gets there, they make her wait and hour. When someone finally tells her something it's, "There's something wrong with your surgery". she is scared and doesn't know what is going on when a "scary pretty" escorts her to a new hovecar.

Lat Trick (post 14, A)

"We don't have to look like everyone else, Tally, and act like everyone else. We've got a choice. We can grow up anyway we want"

This quote is saying that they don't have to turn pretty and be like everyone else. They can be their own person and have their own lives. they don't have to go through with the surgery. They can live like the Rustie's, Ugly, but smart and happy.

Fight (post 13)

Well, one fight was just a fight over a prank they were playing and it was just verbal. But he second was somewhat physical and verbal. It was about becoming pretty and both of their beliefs on it. Tally thought there was nothing wrong with it. Shay thought that it was wrong and was so against she ran away.
The Outcome was that Tally and Shay made up in the first fight, and the outcome in the second one was that they didn't want to be freinds anymore.

Waiting For David (post 12)

"That was one thing about being outside the city: It made all that nature stuff they tought us in school seemed alot more useful. She remebered now how rainwater on the mountains and fell into the ground"
The quote is saying that sometimes when you say, "When am I ever going to use this this?" it shows that sometimes that "useless" stuff you learn in school isn't really useless.

The Rusty Ruins (post11)

Shay and Tally enter the Rusty Ruins. Shay then shows tally the roller coaster. After Shay demonstrates, Talley trys it for the first time. After their ride, they talk about turning pretty. Shay decides to show Talley one more thing.

"The rusties had been stuck down in the streets like a horde of rats trapped in a burning maze" Pg.61
"Every building sported jagged spurs of metal sticking from its broken walls like bones jutting from a long dead animal"Pg.62

Rapids (post 10)

I would rather ignorant because sometimes something that could hurt me happens and i would rather stay ignorant than be hurt. After all, ignorance is bliss.




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 (post 9)

The rusty ruins are an ancient city of people from our time and its so far in the future that its like looking back thousands of years. They are crumbling and the only thing left is the "skeleton" or the iron supports.

Peer pressure is where your Friends or people your age around you pressure you to do things you may or may not want to do. Once, my Friends were going to go outside on the golf course at a sleepover and i didn't wan tot go, but they pressured me into it. We went out on the golf course and ran around at like midnight. it was pretty fun, until the night control came out. We were so busted.

Facing the Facts.....and the Future (post 8)

"Making ourselves feel ugly is not fun"...."This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves." I think Shay is just angry, because she doesn't exactly believe in the Surgery and she doesn't want to grow up just yet.

"Everyone else judged everyone else based on their appearance. People who were taller got better jobs... people killed one another over stuff like having a different skin color."
I think they are talking about how it used to be different when people didn't care about the things that made you Ugly or pretty.

"Its the only way to make people equal" Talley is talking about how it would be difficult if everyone was different because then people would get made fun of and not alot of people would be pretty.

Hoverboarder in Training (post 7)

In The Fantastic Four movies, The Silver Surfer uses a hover board as his mode of transportation.

I think the new pretties don't come back to Uglyville because they are having so much fun and are so caught up in being a new pretty that they forget and start to think their better than them.

When they become pretty, they are so beautiful and perfect, and they seem to become stupid in a way.

Meeting Shay (post 6)

Shay and Tally meet at the banks of the river,where the bridge is. Shay shows Tally her board and teaches her how to use it. They talk about why they went into new pretty town, how they were the youngest and therefor, left behind. They become fast Friends.

Shay is a spunky girl who won't take no for an answer. she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She seems to be the kind Friend that Tally is. She seems to have a lot in common with Tally. I think her and Tally will get into some kind of trouble because there both so curious.

Bungee Jumping and Quick Getaway's (post 5)

I think they advocate bungee jumping because its fun and thrilling and it seems exciting and perfect.


Bungee Jumping: In the 1950's David Attenborough and a BBC film crew brought back footage of the land divers of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. Young men who jumped from tall wooden platforms with vines tied to their ancles as a test of courage and a passage to manhood. A similar practice only with a much slower pace for falling, has been practiced as the Danza de los Voaladores de Palanta or tha Papalanta Fliers of central Mexico. This is a tradition dating back to the days of the Aztecs.

Best Freinds Forever....... Or Are They? (post 4)

Tally is a girl who likes to have fun. She is very focused on task. When she sets er mind to something, she can fulfill it. She is a loyal and truthful Friend who would do anything for Peris, and she seems to have a crush on Peris.

Peris is a guy who seems kind of lazy. He doesn't seem like he is very interested in Tally besides the fact that they are Friends. He doesn't seem like a loyal, true blue, to the end Friend.


I think that they were Friends before Peris turned pretty. But now that Peris is pretty I think he thinks he's better than Tally. I think that he's kind of repulsed by her normalness. In Tally's mind, she would do anything for him, even risk going in to pretty town. But Peris wouldn't do that for Tally i think.

Of New Pretty Town and Irony (post 3)

My "ironic" quote:

"But nothing had been beautiful since Peris turned pretty"

Tally chose to wear the mask because she was still an Ugly, and if there Petty's had seen her, she would have been caught.

Mask's have been used since antiquity in different ceremonies all around the world. They are used in African religious ceremonies and are often used in America for entertainment purposes. The Chinese use mask's to celebrate on different holidays. This related to Tally's decision because she needed to hide herself from the prettys and a mask would hide her face.

A Freind Long Gone ( post 2)

Once, I had a Friend named heather. She was one of my best Friends. Her dads job was going to transfer them to a new state. We were both really sad, but she promised to stay in touch. She gave me what would be her new phone number, and said goodbye. I tried calling her a couple days later, but the recorded voice said that the number didn't exist. We tried to get a hold of her over and over, but she wouldn't answer.

"Pretty Town" terms:

1. Interface ring: a ring that shows your presence to technology.

2.Toothbrush pill: a pill that works like a toothbrush.

3.Cacophony: a loud and ugly sound.

Before You Read.... (post 1)

How do you define beautiful? Beauty I think is something that makes you happy. I think that if it's something you really enjoy, then its beautiful in your eyes.

What would the world be like if everyone were beautiful? No one would truly have beauty if everyone were beautiful. It would be very boring.
