Down River

I would ask the warden to change me pretty. If it was to find out if the cure worked I would have done it. I think the pretties should be pretty but not brainwashed.

Confessions

Yes i think she should have waited a little longer to tell them the truth. I think she will regret it. I know that David will forgive her.

hippocratic oath

yes i would have forced her to take the cure. If there was a 99% chance of it working she would be OK and she will be OK. so i think she should have been forced to take the cure.

night alone

yes i would get the cure. I would want to help all the pretties that are brain washed and get them to there normal state.

I think this quote means that she doesn't know how to change her brainwashed friend. she is happy for shay because she is pretty but she fells sorry that she has the legions. she need to find a cure that is where maddy comes in.

"Rescue"

• shay had been forced to get the surgery
• shay is now nice to tally
• they save croy and a little more smokie friends
• didn't save Az
• Maddy tells them that AZ is dead she is the kicker in this chapter.

"Inside"

I think it has a big meaning to the story. this is where they find out where they do the operation. If they can they can now stop it if they wanted to.

Radiology- where they get all the bone marrow out of the body
neurology- where they look at the brains
magnetic imaging-where they look at the body magnetically
operating theatre two-a second room for the operation
morgue-where they keep the dead people

"she was tall elegant, every feature perfection. Her eyes-deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold-widened with a trouble look."

"over the edge"

I would want it to say "Help the poor" I think we should do as much as we can to help the poor. they have tried hard and i think they just need the first step to be put there for them.

"Accomplices"

Tally believes in the smoke. she has changed throughout the book because she wanted to be pretty so she could see Paris but they never talk about him in the end of the book. the big change is that she wants to be ugly her whole life.

"Familiar Sights"

Yes i do think Tally's plan will work. She wants to help David because its her fault that they were kidnapped. I think her feelings are valid, she is trying to help him.

"Maddy & Az"

http://www.hurricanekatrina.com/

"The Failed Response to Hurricane Katrina:
Tens of thousand of people were stuck in New Orelans without
sufficient food, water, medicine, medical care...or hope."

I was the lucky on I lived in Picayune, Mississippi.

"Ruin"

The victory was that she had gotten the magazines. that way she could show the uglies in uglyville. what was lost was that she had lost the boss........... He was dead?

Post(39)

I think he is right but wrong. I thin that Tally is good but bad for helping dr. Cable. I think tally should be feeling guilty because she has lead dr. Cable to the smoke.

"Run"

The voice in the dark is the boss. He is a friend of tally an he will help her. I think she will help the boss escape with her.

"In Case of Damage"

I think that self preservation is the preservation of oneself from harm or destruction or saving yourself no matter what it takes. i Think that is is important to have self preservation because Tally likes the smoke but she did help dr. cable so she need to protect herself from the smokies finding out the truth. Yes i think i might lie to keep self preservation.

"The Rabbit Pen"

Tally is on the smoke side. she wants to try to escape and then come back to help her friends.she is willing to risk it all to save the smokies.

"Invasion"

I think this is the climax of the book. special circumstances came after tally destroyed the necklace.If they find out that tally led the special circumstances to them than everyone will hate her.

"Burning Bridges"

I think in this quote David is saying like in the world we live in to day you don't have to get surgery to be beautiful. I think what he is saying is you are beautiful in your own way, even if you think you're not.

"Burning

"Pretty Minds"

I think what they are trying to say is that when your pretty you think you are the best person out there. That you can do what ever you want without anyone caring.

"The Secret"

I think society cruel and judgemental and they didn't respect others for what they had to offer.

I think that being pretty is no what you have on the outside but what you can do on the inside such as giving up something or someone.

"Bravery"

• simile-"Dr. Cable's pendant seemed to grow heavier and heavier, wound around her neck as tightly as the vines, brush, and roots grasping the railroad tracks." page 243
• imagery - "In the valley below, the orchids glowed with pale malevolence in the moonlight, a frozen sea against the dark shore of the forest." page 245
• personification " She thought of the orchids spreading across the plains below, choking the life out of other plants, out of the soil itself, selfish and unstoppable." page 244

I think it requires bravery to meet anyone new, especially if you do not know the people. First impressions are very important. People say they remember you most for the first thing you say to them. In Tally's case, she has a secret and she has to hide her secret, and be "judged" by David's parents. This would require her to be brave face this unknown situation.

"Suspicion"

Yes, I think
Shay has all right to be jealous because she like David but David likes Tally.

I just got a new bat and it was special to me because i didn't want to mess it up but then somebody stepped on it and now there is a big scratch in it. Now many people are getting that bat to.

"Heartthrob"

Yes, it would have been easier because she is starting to get attached to the smoke and even the people inside like David.

"David"

I think they ran away because they wanted to start a new version of the rusties. I this textual evidence:
"They reversed the operation?"
"Yes."
"They cut each other? Out here in the wild? To make themselves....."
Page (218)

"Work"

There are many things beautiful about this picture of the skyline. My favorite part is the color around the sun, I to me is the most beautiful part of the picture. I don't think there is anything ugly about this picture. I would give anything to see this view accept my bestest dad, my worlds awesomest sister and mom.

" The Model"

I think Tally and Shay do have it exactly right. I do think that what the models are doing is a disease. I think they would be just as nice if they looked like them natural selves.

"A few solar panels glimmered feebly, gathering what sun was reflected from the mist. Garden plots were planted in random spots between the buildings, twenty or so one story structures made from long planks of wood. There was wood everywhere: in fences; as cooking splits; laid down in walkways over muddy patches; and in big stacks by the fires. Tally wondered where they had found so much wood."

"Lies"

David:

• Not too much older than Tally



• His forehead is too high



• He has a crooked smile



• He is not a pretty he is and ugly

http://images.travelpod.com/users/jiewu/1.1242940980.old-town-bunting.jpg

I chose this picture because I think that the smoke is a old city town deep within the woods.

"Bug Eyes"

1. She wakes up to a smoldering hot fire
2. A man puts an oxygen mask on Tally's face after he picks her up in a helicopter.
3. Tally learns about fires and helicopters from the people who saved her called the Rangers.
4. The Rangers then teach Tally teach Tally about the flowers.
5. Tally reaches the bald head riding in the helicopter and waits.

"Firestorm"

Imagery:
Then a tearing noise filled the air, the crackle of dry brush inflamed, and the smell of smoke swept over Tally, bringing her suddenly and completely awake. pg.172

Personification:
The fire was growing stronger. Fingers of it shot up the hill, leaping from one beautiful flower to another, leaving them scorched and black. pg.172

Simile:
Her footsteps ignited with flame as she ran throughout the blackened flowers, like stabbing a poker into a slumbering fire. pg.173

"The Worst Mistake"

Yes I have done something that I didn't want to do but I did it because I promised my friend Ben if he scaled the side of the creek at his land than I would do it too, even if I fell. I scaled the creek in a breeze.

I think a flying object from the Rustie's is coming.

"Spagbol"

Barbecue Chicken Burger
You take chicken put it in a bun with barbecue sauce and then you put it in a dehydrate.

If I was forced to leave my home I would miss..........

• my sister
• my dad
• my dog
• my friends
• and BASEBALL

"Leaving"

I think that tally decides to leave because she made a promise to Peris.
She had know Peris longer than she has Shay . Even though she has know Shay for a little bit she wants to be pretty and go see Peris.

"Infiltrator"

1. Agrees to showing them where Shay is
2. Is picked up by a hover and brought to special circumstances
3. Is given the note that shay gave her
4. agrees to give shay up
5. is forced to go right that instant

"Peris"

I think Peri's came back to find out what really happened with the surgery. I Think he knew that she went to special circumstances but he just wanted to know why.

"I know you're probably not supposed to talk about it. But once you're across the river, just drop a few hints about Special-you-know-what and you'll get invited to all the parties! Just make sure you take me with you." ............... "The main thing is to get you pretty all ready."

"Ugly for life"

In this quote they are saying that People new she was there but they didn't want to look at her because they new that she might be an ugly her whole life. She knows they can see her and that means that she is seen or visible.

"special circumsatnces"

1. Tally is taken to a place where everyone is a cruel ugly
2. Is asked questions about her friend
3. Dr. Cable was being mean and trying to be nice.

Next I think that she will have to choose from her friend or from being a pretty.

Dr. Cable

• Cruel Pretty
• can be mean
• to tally she tries to be nice
• part of special circumstances

"Operation"

1. Tally waits in her room
2. She is picked up in a hover can to go get the operation
3. The cab driver dude is very nice to her
4. She waits for hours in the waiting room
5. A doctor finally come out to tell her that there is a problem

I think next Tally will be asked about her friend leaving the perimeter to go see David.

"Last Trick"

In this quote Shay is trying to get Tally to go to the place where David lives but Tally Doesn't want to go. What Shay is trying to say is that if they go they don't have to look like everyone else or in other terms they can stay the same and nobody will make fun of you.

"Fight"

The first fight was not real to scare the new uglies before they left ugly ville. They were just messing around.

The second fight was the real fight when Tally was trying to get Shay to become a pretty and Shay didn't want to become one.

"Waiting for david"

What they are saying in this quote is that they are not use to the raining but they had been taught this in school. they Never have had this happen to them because everything has to be perfect and raining isn't perfect.

"The Rusty Ruins"

They get to the Rusty Ruins and Tally is in aw of the city.Shay says she wants to show Tally the roller coaster. they hover board on the whole roller coaster till Tally goes over a broken piece and fall down the slope. Luckily there was a piece so her hover board would work and she lived.Shaw wanted her to see one more thing, as a matter of fact one person.....

page 66

"But her brain stayed as clear as it had those seconds of free fall, and she found herself wondering who had found the roller coaster first, and how many other uglies had come here since."Shay, who showed you all this?"

page 65

"Tally clenched her fists, waiting for the crash bracelets to kick in and haul her up by her wrists. But they had become as useless as the board, just heavy strips of steel dragging her to the ground."

"Rapids"

I think it is better if you don't know everything because if you did there wouldn't be any fun or excitement in your life. Nobody would have any fun in their life.

Pretty Boring

Describe the Rusty Ruins and what they are.

The rusty ruin is an old town outside the limits of Uglyville and New Pretty Town. It is old to the Uglies and Pretties, but for us it is the time we are in right now.

Define peer pressure. Think of a time when it happened to you or someone you know and explain the situation.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/peer+pressure this is the definition of pure pressure

WOW! I am so glad I get to talk about this. 2/4/2010 we played Shultz Jr. High. It was a neck tie till the end a three point buzzer beater for Shultz to tie the game and go into overtime. It was very nerve racking or the part where the peer pressure kicked in . If you messed up once the game was over. There was no waisting time by shooting, passing, passing, passing till the end. We were in the bonus and I got a foul called on me so I got to shoot 2 free throws. I could hear my team mates on the bench! I knew that the pressure was on for me to make these two shots to get us closer to a victory. It was scary. If I missed it would be horrible. I made both of them which made me want to win even more. There was two seconds left, they shot and missed a three pointer! We won the game by 3 points! Fortunately, this was positive peer pressure and not the negative peer pressure that happens so much to other kids our age.

"facing the future"

1- I think in this passage they are trying to say that they want everyone to feel good about themselves and that you can hate yourselves till you are sixteen. You hate yourself enough and an ugly person which makes you want to get the surgery done.

2-In this passage I think that they are trying to say that when they are pretty they all will like each other and no one will hate anyone or make fun of them when they are pretty.

3- In this passage I think they are trying to say that when you get the surgery every one will see you as an equal and no one will think you are ugly referring to passage 1 & 2. They want you to get the surgery so everyone is equal or pretty.

You can go to this website to see a video of the "Back to the Future" hover board scene.
In this scene the guy is being chased by the bad guys and he takes a girls hover board to escape. But does he get away?

I think they don't come back because they think they are to good for the uglies and that they don' want to show their face there because they think that they will be made fun of by the other pretties.
when they get the morph or surgery their skin is peeled off their bones lifted in their cheeks and then they get all new skin for their body.

"Shay"

Write a one paragraph summary of the chapter.

Tally was trying to escape New Pretty Town avoiding all the hover cars and police people. On her way to the Uglies she spotted someone through the brush. She later found out that it was an Ugly that had also crossed over to New Pretty Town to be in the party. The Uglies name was Shay. She showed Shay what bridge to cross over in order to get to New Pretty Town without being tattled on.

What have you learned about Shat? Is she like Tally? Make a prediction about what will happen between Tally and Shay.

I have learned that Shay is also an Ugly that wants to go see the Pretties once and a while, just as Tally does. She sneaks over to New Pretty Town and spies on the Pretties. I think Tally and Shay will become best friends and they will forever stay Uglies.

"Best Friends Forever" Why do you think New Pretty Town advocates bungee jumping?

Why do you think New Pretty Town advocates bungee jumping?

I think they have bungee jumping so the Pretties have a safe way to escape a building when in danger and also so they can have fun and jump off whenever they want to.

Find info about the history of bungee jumping and post it along with the URL?


During the late 1800's AJ Hackett opened up first commercial jump site in New Zealand. It was introduced to the US by John and Peter Kockelman from California in the late 1980's.

"Best friends forever"

Characterization
Tally
-ugly
-crosses the border with her friend
- tall brave has a scar on her hand
-almost 16
- best friend Paris
-wants to be a pretty
-squinty eyes

Paris
-tall
-thin
-symmetrical features
-pretty
-use to have a scar but has new skin
-brown eyes

How do you feel about the friendship of Tally and Paris? Are they true friends? Why or why not?

I think they were best friend but now that Paris has become an Ugly he thinks it is "bogus" to even talk to her until she is a pretty. When she tries to talk to him he barley even listens to her. All he does is tell her that she needs to leave. I think that she needs to leave him and find a new best friend.

" New Pretty Town"

Find information about the history of masks and post it. How does this relate to Tally's decision?

Masks have been used for many cultures over the past thousands of years. Masks from the earlier years were probably made from local objects. more expensive items were probably used to make more important masks like they are now. Over the century masks have been used more for cultural purposes. Masks have also been used for entertainment. Tally chose to wear a mask to cover her identity and so nobody new who she was.

http://www.life123.com/

"New Pretty Town"

Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed white tie?

She chose to wear a mask to the white tie party so no one could see her face and so that no one would find out that she was an Ugly.

"New Pretty Town"

Find and quote one oxymoron from the chapter or one example of irony?

"Of course, Tally thought, you;d have jto feed the your cat only salmon-flavord cat food for a while, to get the pinks right. the scudding clouds did look a bit fishy, rippled into scales by a high-alltitude wind. As the light faded, deep blue gaps of night peered through like an upside-down ocean bottomless and cold."

1. interface ring- I think it is a ring that shows your facial emotions
2.toothbrush pill- it is a pill that instantly brushes your teeth
3.cacophony- it is a lound noise or racket

No, I have never had a friend like Paris but I have been a friend like Paris. I have made friends in different states and then I have moved. I have been really rude. I don't even talk to them anymore. I know that I need to try to talk to them every now and then.

I think beauty is some thing you want to look at. It is something people see appealing to the eye. If everyone was beautiful I think every one would be nice to people and no one would make fun of anyone.

I chose this picture as my ugly picture because it is not a pleasant picture to look at. It is an ugly dog that no one wants to have.

I chose this picture because this is my favorite baseball player. I like to watch him play baseball and I like how he never gives up even when he is in mid air. He is awesome and this is my favorite picture.
