I think I would ask the Wardon to make me pretty if I was Tally. She is doing it to see if the cure really works so she is gonna help many thousands of people by turning pretty.

I do think that Tally will regret telling David because now it will be different between them, but she was going to have to tell him anyway so its better sooner than later. I think that David will change his mind about her, but then change it back. I think it will start with David being so frustrated with Tally but then he will realize that she did change her mind because she went rescued the Smokies and try to build a new Smoke.

No, Maddy should not have forced Shay to take the "cure." Then she would be just like Dr. Cable, forcing people to do things without their consent.

If I were Shay, I wouldn't take the cure. It has never been tested before that day, there is a 1% chance that it could kill her, and there isn't a certainty that it will work. So, no, I wouldn't take the cure.

"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."
It means that one of her best friends has some sort of brain disease and she doesn't know about and Tally can't do anything about it. So Tally just has to sit there and watch her friend get stupider and stupider.

I think that this has a deeper meaning to the story.
Interrogation Room One & Interrogation Room Two:
where the captives or criminals get questioned or interrogated
Isolation Room One:
is where the uncooperative people are placed to sit alone and think about whether to tell the Specials or not too
Disorientation Room One:
this is the torture room
"It was Shay. She was pretty."
"She was tall and elegant, every feature perfection. Her eyes-deep and soulful..."

My message would say"I'M SORRY," so that I could apologize to everyone that I have hurt in the past.

Tally has grown up and completely changed her mind about the operation, and Maddy and Azes discovery of the lichens and them telling her about them affected her decision too.
Blog Post #43
I think the plan won't work, I say a gust of wind will blow them off from over-top of the building. I think just the fact of getting back at Special Circumstances for making people dumb is driving Tally. Tally is definitely crazy!

They say we are stupid, and it is pretty accurate most of us are stupid. But there are a few people that have some brains.

Hurricane Ike began as a tropical wave off of the coast of Africa around August 29th. A few days later, by September 1 it had developed into the 9th tropical depression of the hurricane season and was classified tropical storm Ike later in the day. Ike underwent rapid deepening on September 3rd into the morning of the 4th. It had achieved a category 4 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale at 140 mph. Shortly after this, northerly wind shear started to take its toll and weaken it north of the Leeward Islands.
Hurricane Ike underwent another restrengthening phase as it moved west southwest into the Turks and Caicos and southern Bahamas. Grand Turk was in the northern eye wall and Great Inagua, Bahamas received a direct hit. Extensive damage occurred throughout these locations, with preliminary estimates showing 80% of the houses on Grand Turk receiving some damage. Ike continued toward Cuba making landfall on the northeast coast of Cuba. It crossed Cuba and turned more west northwest, barely off of its southern coast. After this, Ike made a second landfall in the western part of the country near where Hurricane Gustav made landfall not long before.
Hurricane Ike began to strengthen immediately after moving into the southern Gulf of Mexico. The Keys received some flooding, had squally weather, and reported an isolated tornado. In a similar fashion to Hurricane Gustav, Hurricane Ike had a very low barometric pressure in the central Gulf of Mexico, but did not strengthen significantly. Dry air on the western side of the hurricane kept it from strengthening until just before landfall.
High storm tides flooded the upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coast twenty four hours ahead of landfall. Storm tides of 10-15 were common in these areas. Hurricane Ike made landfall on September 13 at 2:10 am cdt at Galveston, TX. Even though Ike was classified as a category two hurricane with winds of 110 mph, very few gusts over 100 mph were recorded on land. Winds a few hundred feet above the ground were much higher though and caused damage to many windows to the sky scrapers in Houston. Rainfall totals of ten inches were reported in Houston. Heavy rain continued into the mid part of the U.S. as Ike merged with a cold front. Power was lost to approximately four and a half million people at the height of Hurricane Ike.
In summary, Ike was a huge hurricane. Its tropical storm force wind field extended exceeded that of Katrina. In the central Gulf of Mexico, winds of tropical storm force or greater extended out 275 miles from the center. Ike's effects not only were felt on the coast, but extended well inland. Wind damage and/or flooding rains followed the path of Ike into the southern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and into New England. Rainfall totals of ten inches or more were recorded in the southern Great Lakes. Power Outages were also common from wind damage well northward into the Ohio Valley. Damage estimates are placed at $18 billion making hurricane Ike the 4th costliest hurricane to hit the U.S. An additional $4.4 billion in damage occured in Ike's post tropical stage as it moved northeast through the Ohio Valley causing widespread wind damage.

Tally thinks that she won a victory over Dr. Cable for saving the books, but if she hadn't gone to the Smoke in the first place the books or anything else what have needed to be saved. The entire Smokey world was lost because of what Tally did.

I say David is right about Tally making an amazing escape. And Tally shouldn't feel guilty, she didn't mean to betray the Smoke, she was trying to destroy the pendant but ACCIDENTLY set it off.
Blog Post #38
David is the voice in the dark I think, so he is a friend. I think Tally and david will find a make a new Smoke, and find the captured Smokies and David's parents.

Self preservation to me is like looking out for yourself. I would want a good reputation rather then a bad one, but it's not the most important. I guess I have lied for self preservation in the past, so I probably will do so in the future. So yes, but I'm not proud of it.
blog Post #36
I think that Tally might try to save, or make a new Smoke, and try to get everyone to forgive her. TALLY IS ON THE SMOKIES SIDE NOW!!
Blog Post #35
Yes, I think this is will be the most exciting, thrilling part of the book. All the Smokies just got captured and it's probably the end of the Smoke forever.

My mom- She does stuff for me and my sister before herself, she sacrifices the things she wants to do for what me and my sister want to do.
Kirstin Robertson- She's one of the only people that are truly concerned about most everyone, and she's always there for me. You will never hear a bad word of any sort come out of this young ladies mouth.

When you become pretty, your self-confidence goes up, so you are more out there, and sometimes more snobby.
If I were to turn pretty, I would want to be more understanding. I would want to have blue eyes, and curly hair, and be smarter.

"But you do know about genetics don't you? Sure I know all about genes. I knew 2 sisters, uglies, who looked almost the same. But parents and children? That's just weird."
The operation has taken all memory of having features like those of your parents away.
Being pretty is, being pretty is just being pretty. There is no real explanation to it.

Simile:
"Not soy-based, like the dehydrated meat in her SpagBol."
Imagery:
"In the valley below, the orchids glowed with pale malevolence in the moonlight, a frozen sea agianst the dark shore of the forest."
Personification:
"Dr.Cables pendant seemed to grow heavier and heavier..."
Yeah, it's a big deal to meet someone else of the opposite genders parents, no matter who they are.

Yes, Shay does have a reason to be jealous of Tally. David seems to be like Shay's "boyfriend," and he is giving Tally gifts. Why didn't he give Shay the gifts? So apparently it seems like David is starting to like Tally.
This sounds kind of kiddish, but in first grade I remember for my birthday my mom got me a heart necklace. It was really pretty and it had my name on it. And one of my friends wouldn't talk to me for like 3 days when I wore it to school. So I guess she was jealous of it, but I lost it like 3 weeks later and we became friends again.

Tally wasn't close to the people in the Smoke when she first arrived. Now, she has came to know them and it will be harder to betray them.

"They reversed the operation."
David's parents didn't want everyone to be the same in a way. They liked the diversity, I think. They themselves didn't want to be like other people.
And I think they ran away because they didn't want to raise their child in the environment of your ugly, but one day you will be pretty.

The beauty in this picture is how it is all natural, and just beautiful. But the ugly thing is that in at least 20 years it will all be paved over, and in the middle of a city.
