Explain what self preservation means to you? Is it the most important thing? Would you lie because of it?
Self preservation is protecting oyurself, it is important but it is not everything. I probably would lie if it meant protecting myself.

Blog Post #36 "The Rabbit Pen"
Tally had changed her mind about the Smoke and the operation, but what will she about all that now? Whose side is she on
I think tally is on the smoke side now, she has been with them, and seen how the town is, and when she did that, she realized that they are good people and didn't want to betray them after they let her into their town.

Blog Post #35 "Invasion"
Is this the climax of the book? Explain why or why not.
I do think it is. Special Circumstances is probably on their way. This means there is a 50% chance of her getting away or being caught by Special Circumstances.

Blog Post #34 "Burning Bridges"
Read the following quote David says to Tally. "What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful." Name one person in your personal life, and one in your academic life...what makes this person beautiful?
My mom, not that she isn't beautiful physiclly but she is so smart and they way she puts things into her perspective makes her beautiful.

Blog Post #33 "Pretty Minds"
Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you/to the story? "Becoming pretty doesn't change the the way you look...it changes the way you think." How would you want to change mentally and phyiscally if you were "pretty"?
1) I would give myself a bigger vertical, so i could jump out of the building in volleyball
2) I would get more arm strength so i could hit harder
3) I would change my eye color, because i hate poop brown.
4) I would make myself to where i dont over think things so i freak out.
5) I wish i wasnt so emotional, i get very sad easily.
6) I would make myself shorter, i hate being taller than EVERYONE.
thats all i can think of ;D

Blog Post #32 "The Secret"
What does the following quote tell you about the city and society in general. "But you do know about genetics don't you? Sure I know all about genes. I knew two sisters, uglies, who looked almost the same. But parents and children? Thats just weird."
Well, it shows just how the Society is trying to protect New Pretty Town. They don't know of parets and children looking alike because most all parents go through surgery, so when they change they look different than they did.
Predict what you think being "pretty" is.
I think being pretty makes a big difference in how you act, think, look and feel.
It takes away your entire personality.

Blog Post #31 "Bravery"
Find an example of imagery, persoification, and a simile. Quote directly and give page numbers.
Imagery; "The orchids glowed with pale malevolence in the moonlight, a frozen sea against the dark forest shore." pg 245
Persoification; (orchids)
"....choking the life out of other plants, out of the soil itself, selfish and unstoppable." pg.244
Simile; "Like a walking poison, she killed everything."(p.244)
Does it require bravery to meet David's parets? Why or why not?
To an extent it requires bravery. Some people feel differently about it. I think it does not require much bravery unless you over think the situation.
