And by her description of the pretties, they pretty much look like aliens to me, with abnormal big eyes, small nose, and big mouth, so they turned ugly in my head. But further on the book, I realized that Tally was already beautiful, she was just brainwashed into thinking she and the others were ugly. When I first read the description of the pretties, I wanted Tally to turn into one, it seemed like the perfect life, being pretty, partying every day.
I even wanted to get a nose job and stuff like that because I was unhappy with my appearance. Before I red this book I was really bothered my looks, I always thought that people would judge me or like me by the way I looked. I really just want to answer question two because this one really got to me. In what ways is your lifestyle dependent on oil and gasoline? How easily would you survive if it all disappeared one day? The Rusty civilization collapsed because of its dependence on oil. To what extent did Tally decide her own fate, and how much did other people decide it for her?ġ0.
Other than the pretty operation, what are the main differences between the pretty society and our own? (Are there any ways in which the pretty society is healthier than ours?)ĩ. If Shay could have gone back in time and never have met Tally, do you think she would?Ĩ. How did David see Tally differently than she saw herself?ħ. Would you give up your ability to think independently in exchange for being happy, beautiful, perpetually healthy, and rich?Ħ. In what ways did Tally’s trip through the wild prepare her for what she learned in the Smoke?ĥ. Have you ever found yourself trusting someone more or paying more attention to what they said not because they deserved it, but just because of their looks?Ĥ. At first, did you hope Tally would get the operation? When did you change your mind? (Or did you?)ģ. Have you ever had a friend like Peris, who abandoned your friendship after they moved away?Ģ.
(But it would be polite if you gave me credit.)ġ. Feel free to copy, adapt, distribute, and otherwise use these questions in any way you desire. Here are ten questions that I wrote to generate discussions about my book Uglies.
