Infiltrator #18
Give a chronological list of important events that happened in the chapter.
Peris #17
Why do you think Peris came back? Support your answer with textual evidence.
I think he came back just to hear her story about not turning pretty and seeing special circumstances, so he could tell his friends about her. "She turned her puffy eyes to her friend, trying to figure out if he was kidding. "I mean, I already told everyone about you after that fire alarm thing, but they're really dying to meat you now," he continued. "there's even a rumor that special circumstances is involved."

Ugly for Life #16
Respond to the following quote:
"Everywhere she went, eyes looked away. But it was the most visible she'd ever felt."
Tally feels even though everyone isn't looking at her she is actually quite visible to everyone in her dorm, and she isn't used to anyone paying attention to her.

Special Circumstances #15
Summarize the chapter in chronological order:
1.The man led her to a hovercar and took her to Special Circumstances

3.Dr. Cable asked her to help find Shay and her friends that ran away

I think Tally will agree to help find them and bring them back to be turned pretty.

Operation #14
Summarize the chapter highlighting the important events in chronological order. Predict what will happen next.

2.A middle aged pretty picked her up to get her operation
3.She sat waiting for the doctors in the waiting room
4.After an hour a man came out and told her there was a problem with her surgery
I think that she is in trouble because she knows that Shay ran away from being pretty and the doctors know that she knows.

Last Trick #14
Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you?
"We don't have to look like everyone else. We've got a choice. We can grow up any way we want."
I think this quote is important now and then because it is good to be unique and an individual instead of being like everyone else.

Fight #13
Two fights were presented in this chapter. Compare and contrast both of them. List their similarities and differences. Why did each fight take place? What was the outcome of each one?
First fight:
silly
a joke
not real
to scare the new uglies at the dorm
funny
real
not a joke
between Tally and Shay
discussed turning pretty
Tally upset
Shay didn't want to turn pretty
Tally did want to turn pretty to be with peris
The first fight took place because the girls only had a few more weeks before turning pretty, so they wanted to play some jokes. The second fight took place because the girls were arguing about becoming pretty, and Shay didn't want to turn pretty, but Tally did.
The outcome of the first fight was funny, and the girls didn't get caught. The outcome of the second fight wasn't good, and the girls didn't talk for a long time.
Waiting for David #12
What does the following quote from the chapter tell you about the city?"
"That was one thing about being outside the city: It made all that nature stuff they taught in school seem a lot more useful. She rememberd now how rainwater fell on the mountains and soaked into the ground..." The town is fake and everything is man-made.

Rapids #10
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?
It depends on the situation. If it were my birthday i wouldn't want to know what my friends were getting me. If someone was setting me up to kill me or something then I would like to know about that.
Find information about the origin of white water rafting and post it here, along with the website URL.
It is interesting to note that whitewater rafting was one of the earliest forms of transportation. It was not only used for carrying people but also for transferring goods from one place to another. However, it became quite popular as a form of leisure activity in the 1980s.In 1811, the first recorded attempt to navigate the Snake River in Wyoming was planned by the Overland Astorians. While attempting to boat the stretch below Jackson Hole, the river was found to be too treacherous and it came to be called Mad River.?The rubber river raft is believed to have been invented in the early 1840s. It was first made by Lt. John Fremont, who was then serving in the U.S army and Horace H. Day. They invented the rubber raft with the intention of surveying the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Although the raft was invented in the mid-nineteenth century, it was not until the turn of the century that the first ever commercial whitewater trip was undertaken. At first, surplus military rafts were used as boats and it was only much later that inflatable rafts were used.Private companies played a major role in augmenting the rafting business. In 1956, one of the members of the most affluent business families of America, John D. Rockefeller built a resort that introduced one of the first floating trips in the country. However, it only evoked a lukewarm response. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, exclusive whitewater rafting companies were formed. These include the Becker-Cooke Expeditions, Hatch River Expeditions and Slickrock Adventures.Rafting was first included in the Munich Olympic Games, 1972. Subsequently, it was included in the 1992 Barcelona Games and the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1996, the Ocoee River in Tennessee Valley played host to the whitewater events of the Summer Olympic Games.http://ezinearticles.com/?History-of-Whitewater-Rafting&id=276992

Pretty Boring #9
Describe the Rusty Ruins. What are they? What happend during this time period?
The Rusty Ruins are a town that was made in our day and time that was abandoned during our time.
"...there'd been too many people, and everyone was incredibly stupid. And ugly."
This quote describes our time when the Rusty Ruins took place as an active town.
Define peer pressure. Think of a time when it happened to you or someone you know and explain the situation in a paragraph
Peer pressure is when your peers pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. Such as smoking or doing drugs.

Facing the Future #8
Reflect on the following quotes from the chapter. What does each mean to you?
"Making ourselves feel ugly is not fun"... "This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves."
This quote I think is true about the book and in real life.
"Everyone judged everyone else based on their appearance. People who were taller got better jobs...people killed one another over stuff like having diffrent skin color."
I like this quote because this is what happens in our day and time and they are talking like it was a lifetime ago when all of this happend. This quote is sadly true thought because people do get killed and some people are judged by the things that don't matter.
"It's the only way to make people equal."
I can see how this quote cures the problem of discrimination but it also would take away the person's individuality.

Wipeout #7
Think of another book, movie, or comic, etc. in which people use hover boards. How are they used? If possible, post a video of this.
Jetsons is the only the thing I could think of. I CAN'T GET THE VIDEO ON!!!!:(((
Why do you think the new pretties don't come back to Uglyville to visit? Describe their physical and mental transformation into a new pretties.
The New Pretties are too busy doing "pretty" things in their little world. They become brainwashed with pretty thoughts and that anything that wasn't pretty they wouldn't associate with it. Not only do their minds change but also their physical apperiance does also. They all look perfect and the same.

Shay #6
Write a one paragraph summary of this chapter.
Tally ran away from New Pretty Town in a bungee jacket she found at the party building. She landed in the darkness of the gardens. When she set off the bungee jacket it set off fire alarms and hover cars were swarming everywhere. Tally then realized how stuipid her idea to see Peris was. She then noticed a saftey warden in the gardens looking for her. Then heard noise by the river and frose. She saw a dark figure just standing as still as statue. She thought it was a warden so she froze for a long time and eventualy she gave up and started to talk to the figure. It turns out that the figure was a girl named Shay and Tally told her about her adventure. There they became friends.
What have you learned about Shay? Is she like Tally? Make a prediction about what will happen between Tally and Shay.
Shay is a kind person who is like Tally in ways such as having the same birthday and being an uglie. I think they will be good friends.
