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.

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.382 Rescue Post 47
Give a chronological list of important events in the chapter. What's the kicker at the end of the chapter?
- Shay was forced to get the operation.
- Shay says she doesn't hate Tally anymore.
- Tally rescued Croy and some other smokies.
- Maddy says they can't help Az.
- Maddy tells them that Az is dead. (kicker)
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.

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."
pg.367 Over the Edge Post 45
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?
Choose you president wisely, because I think that the person that should lead our country should be someone who everyone likes. It's very important the president is the label for our country to everyone else in the world, and we should have a good first impression.

pg.359 Accomplices Post 44
The Uglies 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 has change, because now she isn't has immature as she use to be. These uglies are very immature, adventuress, and willing to do tricks just how Tally use to be. She matured while she was at Smoke working hard, and learning what really goes on in life.

pg.348 Familiar Sights Post 43
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?
Maybe because the whole special circumstances is looking for them, but the will of them put together could possibly pull it off. Tally's drive is trying to keep Tally happy, not that she really cares. I do think she is crazy... crazy over David, and yes she maybe does care a little bit.

pg.340 The Oil Plague Post 42
How do David and Tally describe the Rusties? Is it accurate?
They describe the rusties as people who used the enviroment in a bad way. They used stuff, but never recycled it, or burned oil products. Also, they say they aren't very smart, because they should have just stopped using oil products then they wouldn't have spread the plague.
What are weaknesses of our society?
We are not safe in the way that we hurt the enviroment, because it will eventually drastically change, and effect us all. Also, we are very violent people, just in our daily actions.
What are weaknesses of their society?
They don't use the enviroment to it's full extent, and take advantage of the stuff that they could have like us. Also, they are very protected in the sense that they live by one set of rules, and have never really experienced anything else.

Find info and a picture about a time we weren't prepated. Post the info and cite it.
Hurricane Ike (pronounced /ˈaɪk/) was the third costliest hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States. It was the ninth named storm, fifth hurricane and third major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season.[1][2] It was a Cape Verde-type hurricane, as it started as a tropical disturbance near Africa at the end of August. On September 1, 2008, it became a tropical storm west of the Cape Verde islands.[3][4] By the early morning hours of September 4, Ike was a Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) and a pressure of 935 mbar (27.61 inHg).[5] That made it the most intense Atlantic storm of 2008. Ike passed over the Turks and Caicos Islands as Category 4, with winds 135 mph (217 km/h) on September 7. Moving west along Cuba, it made 2 landfalls as a Category 4 hurricane on September 7 and a Category 1 hurricane on September 9. Ike made its final landfall over Galveston, Texas as a strong Category 2 hurricane, with Category 5 equivalent storm surge, on September 13, 2008 at 2:10 a.m. CDT. Hurricane-force winds extended 120 miles (193 km) from the center.[inconsistent]
Ike was blamed for at least 195 deaths. Of these, 74 were in Haiti, which was already trying to recover from the impact of three storms earlier that year: Fay, Gustav, and Hanna. In the United States, 112 people were killed, and over 300 are still missing.[2][6] Due to its immense size, Ike caused devastation from the Louisiana coastline all the way to the Kenedy County, Texas region near Corpus Christi, Texas.[7] In addition, Ike caused flooding and significant damage along the Mississippi coastline and the Florida Panhandle[8] Damages from Ike in US coastal and inland areas are estimated at $24 billion (2008 USD)[2], with additional damage of $7.3 billion in Cuba (the costliest storm ever in that country), $200 million in the Bahamas, and $500 million in the Turks and Caicos, amounting to a total of at least $32 billion in damages. Ike was the third costliest Atlantic hurricane of all time, behind Hurricane Andrew of 1992 and Hurricane Katrina of 2005.[2] The hurricane also resulted in the largest evacuation of Texans in that state's history. It also became the largest search and rescue operation in U.S. history.[

Describe the irony in Tally's victory over Dr. Cable. What was lost in the process?
Tally's victory was bitter sweet in a couple of ways. She salvaged a piece of the smoke, but she lost a lot more than she saved from the library. Also, the boss was lost in the process so it was much of a win to me.

pg.319 Amazing Post 39
Is David right? Is Tally amazing? Do you think she should be feeling guilty? Why or why not?
Yes and no, yes because she is quite spectactular from the side of her that he has seen, but if he would have known all the other stuff she did, he wouldn't like her that much. She should feel guilty, because she is just playing him on with a bunch of lies.

Who is the voice in the dark? Do you think it will be a friend or enemy to Tally? What do you think Tally will do now?
It is a friend I think, because it wasn't scary sounding. I think it will be someone close to Tally, and she will bond with that person even more.

Explain what self preservation means to you. Is it the most important thing? Would you lie because of it?
Self preservation means that you do what ever it takes to make your image look good, even if you have to lie or do somehthing not morally right to keep it. So yes I would lie because of it, because I am the most important to myself so I would.

pg.297 The Rabbit Pen Post 36
Tally had changed her mind about the Smoke and the operation, but what will she do about all that now? Whose side is she on?
She is on Smoke's side, but it took her a little bit to long to figure that out for herself. Since she changed her mind right before special operations came, the people in smoke may not believe her now. She got into a bad situation along time ago, and now she must deal with the consequences.

pg.287 Invasion Post 35
Is this the climax of the book? Explain why or why you don't think so in a few sentences.
Yes, because in this chapter we will see what comes of all the conflict Tally has brought to smoke. You will see what David and Shay think of Tally now, after she betray them. It could get a little bit more descriptive, but this is definately the start of the climax.

Read the following quote David says to Tally. "What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful." Name one person in your personal life and one in your academic life... what makes this person beautiful?
In my personal life the one person I think of as beautiful is my mom. She is calm most of the time, and is always kind of going with the flow of things. She is also pretty inside and out.
In my academic life the one person I think of as beautiful is a girl in my class she is very pretty, always upbeat, and very smart. She is just perfect.

pg.262 Pretty Minds Post 33
Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you/to the story? "Becoming pretty doesn't just change the way you look it changes the way you think." How would you want to change mentally and physically if you were pretty?
This quote means that when they make everyone pretty, they make everything that they do, look, and see pretty. They do this by making all their minds think along the same lines as everyone elses. This away there is no question on the prettieness of someone.
If I changed mentally or physically I would do two things. Mentally I would make myself able to be nice to people I don't particularly like. Physically I would make myself faster. (Chris Mitchell fast)

What does the following quote tell you about the city and society in the in general? "But you do know about genetics don't you? Sure I know all about genes. I knew two sister, uglies, who looked almost the same. But parents and children? That's just weird."
It once again shows how protected New Pretty Town really is, they have never heard of parents and kids looking alike, because most parents get the surgery so they look "pretty."

Imagery-"The orchids glowed with pale malevolence in the moonlight, a frozen sea against the dark shore of the forest." pg.245
Personification-Talking about the orchids "...choking the life out of other plants, out of the soil itself, selfish and unstoppable." pg.244
Does it require bravery to meet David's parents, why or why not?
Not really, because she is kind of forced to meet them if she doesn't then she will make David unhappy. So I think she doesn't really have a choice.

Do you think Shay has a right to be jealous of Tally? Why or why not?
Yes and no, yes in the fact that she informed Tally of everything about smoke, and got her in with everyone. No because she is her best friend, and should be happy for her.
Tally recieved a gift form David in the chapter that is special. Have you ever received something that made others jealous as this gift did? Did you gift have a meaning behind it as Tally's had?
No I really haven't, because I don't have any bros or sisters to be jealous of, so I'd have to say not.

Why would it have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the smoke? Explain.
It would have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the smoke, because then she wouldn't have felt so bad, for betraying her friends. She wouldn't have known what they all went through to get here, or what it is like her. Then she wouldn't have to live with the burdon of destroying the smoke.

pg.213 David Post 28
If David's parents were doctors, Why do you think they ran away? Support you answer with textual evidence.
I think they ran away, because they knew what really went on after the surgery, and they didn't want to be a apart of that. They knew it was more harmful than it was helpful. "They reversed the operation!" "Yes" they did.

Find an image of a skyline like the one Tally sees. Post it. What is beautiful about it?
It's beautiful because the lights makes the town look majestic.
It's ugly, because the smoke from it, shows how it really is on the inside. Not what it looks like from a distance.
