If you were Tally, would you ask the Warden to make you pretty?
Yes, I would ask the Warden to make me pretty. I would become pretty, then I would get the "cure" so I wouldn't have any lesions.

Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind about her?
Yes I think she will regret it and I also think she might not regret it. She will regret it because she was a spy and know Shay is pretty. No, because now she has nothing to hide and keep a secret. Yes, David will change his mind. I think this because David really trusted Tally, and know he cant trust her anymore.

Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?
Yes, if I was Maddy I would've forced her. I would do this because I wouldn't want to put up with the way Shay has been acting since she has been pretty.

If you were Shay, would you get the cure? Why or why not?
Yes, because I wouldnt want to put up with all of the lesions. Also, I wouldnt want to have annoying habits. Last, I would want to be myself.

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."
I think this means that Shay is starting to feel crazy because she is a pretty. I also think that Tally wants the old[ugly] Shay back.

Is this quote a play on words, or does it have a deeper meaning to the story? "Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theater Two."
I think it has a deeper meaning because i think those are the torture chambers where they do the operation.

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?
I would put " You owe to yourself to be the best you can be, in lfe and in sports."I would put this because you have to be the best to be a champion, and it helps to be the best in general.

The Uglies they 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?
I think that Tally has grown up a lot. By this, I mean that she has gotten more mature. I think being around David has changed Tally because he is older and smarter.

How do David & Tally describe the Rusties? Is it accurate?
They describe the Rusties as dangerous and horrible people.
No, this isnt accurate because everyone isnt like that.
What are weaknesses of OUR society?
The weakness of our society is war. I think this because war doesnt solve anything. I think there is a much peacer way to become friendly than war.
What are weaknesses of THEIR society?
Their weakness is thinking that everyone should turn pretty, and not being themselves.

Find information and a picture about a time we weren't prepared. (i.e. a natural disaster or attack). Post information and cite it.
The surprise was complete. The attacking planes came in two waves; the first hit its target at 7:53 AM, the second at 8:55. By 9:55 it was all over. By 1:00 PM the carriers that launched the planes from 274 miles off the coast of Oahu were heading back to Japan.
Poster commemoratingthe attack, 1942Behind them they left chaos, 2,403 dead, 188 destroyed planes and a crippled Pacific Fleet that included 8 damaged or destroyed battleships. In one stroke the Japanese action silenced the debate that had divided Americans ever since the German defeat of France left England alone in the fight against the Nazi terror.
Approximately three hours later, Japanese planes began a day-long attack on American facilities in the Philippines. (Because the islands are located across the International Dateline, the local Philippine time was just after 5 AM on December 8.) Farther to the west, the Japanese struck at Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand in a coordinated attempt to use surprise in order inflict as much damage as quickly as possible to strategic targets.
Although stunned by the attack at Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, submarines and, most importantly, its fuel oil storage facilities emerged unscathed. These assets formed the foundation for the American response that led to victory at the Battle of Midway the following June and ultimately to the total destruction of the Japanese Empire four years later.

Yes, because you dont want to make a fool out of yourself. Its always hard to meet someones parents for the first time.
