"new pretty town" p. 3

Find & quote one oxymoron from the chapter or one example of irony.

I didn't have the book, so I was no able to find an answer to this question.

Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed "white tie" ?

I think she chose to wear it because masks were made to cover up something that was not eant to be shown. Since she was an ugly, her wearing the mask was a very smart choice.

Masks have been designed in innumerable varieties, from the simplest of crude “false faces” held by a handle to complete head coverings with ingenious movable parts and hidden faces. Mask makers have shown great resourcefulness in selecting and combining available materials. Among the substances utilized are woods, metals, shells, fibers, ivory, clay, horn, stone, feathers, leather, furs, paper, cloth, and corn husks. Surface treatments have ranged from rugged simplicity to intricate carving and from polished woods and mosaics to gaudy adornments.
