They say the woman has a special disease. Not a physical disease, but a mental disease. She would so much til shes about to burst, then she would throw it all up and lose her weight. Or, she could just stop eating. When she does that, she will lose weight. Sometimes, she can't stop losing weight. She will keep losing weight until she is stick-like.
They have it right that they throw up the food to lose weight. It's called being an anorexic or a bulimic.

Lies
David is an ugly who could be mistaken for a pretty. He is the son of two doctors. He was born and raised in the Smoke. He has never been to a city.

This is what I think the Smoke looks like except that it would be larger. The Smoke sounds like a rundown village surrounded by trees with crumbling buildings.

Bug Eyes
The captors turn out to be pretties. The pretties say they are Rangers and that they burn away to flowers to save the area. They take her into the Helicopter and to te Smoke.
She doesn't want to do it, but if shes doesn't, she will never be able to go home and be accepted again. She has to choose between a friend, and the rest of her life.

Firestorm
Imagery: Inhuman faces started down from the machine.
Personification: Fingers of it (the fire) shot up the hill, leaping from one beautiful flower to another...
Simile: ...spun it away like a leaf.

The Side you Despise
I think it was a Helicopter. I think it was weird uglies that had run away from home. I predict that the People will take her to the Helicopter.
The Worst Mistake
I had to do something because I didn't sign up for Athletics. So I signed up for Cross-Country. At first, I hated it. I'm glad I signed up though.
"Choose the side you most despise", I think Tally will have to choose the right path in the crossroads.

SpagBol
I would take a dried food called SteaFile. It would be, when rehydrated, a juicy Steak Filet Mignon. I would take a Filet Mignon and dehydrate it.
I would miss my friends and my family. I would miss a warm home to go back to. I would miss playing video games or riding my bike. I would miss everything about my home.

Leaving
Because she wants to see Shay again. She didn't want to really rat out Shay or the Smokies. She justs wants to be with her best friend.
Infiltrator
Tally is given a Necklace to activate when she gets to the Smoke. She is reluctant at first. She agrees and heads out.

Ugly for Life
Tally never felt noticed. She was being noticed now, but as a girl who was 16 and ugly. She was being scorned and shunned by her peers.
Special Circumstances
Dr.Cable takes Tally to the Special Circumstances. She cannot get her operation. She has to find Shay and bring her back to get her operation.
Dr. Cable is a mean docter. She sounds like an evil and manipulative dictator.

Operation
Tally goes to get her operation after Shay leaves. She pulls up to the office and a woman is there. She tells Tally that something is wrong with her operation.
Last Trick
Being different isn't always bad. We were made to be different. We weren't supposed to be perfect. Being different makes us all unique, otherwise it would be boring with everyone looking the same.
Fight
One fight was fake. It was for a prank. They used the fake fight as prank to the new uglies going to school. The other was a real fight. They were swimming at a "beach" in The City. They argued and Shay swam back to shore.
Waiting for David
That the people in The City don't experience nature. They don't feel rain on their "pretty" skin. They don't feel the blistering hot sun on a boiling Summer day. They don't feel the bitter chill of a Winter night. They don't get to feel the outside.
The Rusty Ruins
Tally and Shay find the Rusty Ruins outside The City. Shay shows Tally the roller coaster and they ride it. Tally almost falls off the coaster. Shay signals to David but he does not come.

Rapids
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 agree. Sometimes the best mysteries should be left unsolved for peoples' imaginations to wander off about it. I would rather not know everything about everything so I could try and figure it out myself.
White Water Rafting
White water rafting was originally used to carry goods from one place to another. It was also used for transportation. In the 1980s, white water rafting started to become a leisure activity.

Pretty Boring
Descirbe the Rusty Ruins. What are they? What happened during this time period?
They are metal buildings and roads with exploded cars and streets. They are the ruins of a city we call modern today. Things were exploding because a deadly chemical fusion was taking palce in everything.
Define peer pressure. Think of a time when it happened to your or someone you know and explain the situation in a paragraph.
Peer pressure is when your peers want you to do something. It can be positive or negative. Last year, when I was new here, my friend made another friend. His new friend didn't like me for some reason. He got my friend to start being mean to me, too.

Facing the Future
Reflect on the folloing qoutes from the chapter, what does each mean to you?
1.Don't like feeling ugly.
2.Be proud of who you are and don't let a game make you think otherwise.
3.Pretty operations made everyone the same and think the same, so there would be no more wars over differences between people.
4.Making someone pretty means that they become just like everybody else and think like everybody else, oblivious to the world outside.

Wipeout
Think of another book, movie, or comic in which people use hover boards. How are they used?
Pendragon: Quillon Games-book, they are used to carry things around and for fun.
Why do you think the new pretties don't come back to Uglyville to visit? Describe their physical and mental transformation into new pretties.
They didn't like being ugly. They don't want to go to a place where they have memories of being ugly. They think they are happy and "bubbly" where they are now.

Shay
Write a one paragraph summary of the chapter.
Tally meets a girl named Shay in New Pretty Town. Shay explains she is a tricker, too. Shay teaches Tally how to hoverboard.
What have you learned about Shay? Is she like Tally? Make a prediction about What Will happen betweenTally and Shay.
Shay and Tally are both rebellious and ugly. They are definitely alike. I think Shay might Run away.
