pg.420 Down the River Post 52

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

Yes if that what was needed in order to make everything right between David and the smokies then yes I would.

pg.415 Confessions Post 51

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

No, because if she never told him then she will have lived with that burden on her shoulders her whole life. Yes he will change his mind, then when she does something to make up for what she did he will like her again.

pg.405 Hippocratic Oath Post 50

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

No because it is her choice. If something goes wrong on her then she will never be happy, at least if she has lesions she will always be happy. Also, the results could very if she is unwilling, maybe she wouldn't help the results of the pill.

pg.398 Night Post 49

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

Yes, because I would want my own personality, and everything about me that makes me who I am. It would be stupid not to, once your a pretty you don't have a point in life.

pg.389 Getaway Post 48

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."

This quote means that even though Tally and Shay were having problems, and Shay just forgave her, but not for real, that Tally still cares about Shay, even if she isn't like her normal self. Which is good, because maybe there is hope for Shay to think normal again.

pg.374 Inside Post 46

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

Yes they go station to station, and then finally finish the operation in the theatre. Which isn't right because that means they do it like it is a play not someones life, they are messing with.

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

• radiology- science of x-rays
• neurology-science of the nerves
• magnetic imaging-rearranging of the skin

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- wordlessly, and she raised one graceful hand. Tally's heart almost stopped at the beauty of her confusion."
