What aspects of Dystopian control is being presented in your novel?  How are the characters handling them?  Do any of these aspects of Dystopian Control resemble conditions happening in our world today?
The type of control being presented in my novel is bureaucratic control. I know this because their rules and regulations are very tough and down to the book. The characters aren't handling it the best. It isn't like anything in our world today "We're not freaks Tally. We're normal. We may not be gorgeous, but at least we're not hyped up barbie dolls." page 79

What social commentary do you think your author was making with this novel?  What is the author saying or warning about today's world? My authors social commentary is that our world today is all about judging people. She is trying to warn us that we will be judge no matter what. In this book they judged you by all your imperfections. She is tired of this happening in our world. Many people are being judged for things that don't even matter. " Shut up squint" " Being skinny isn't always easy"

They are not allowed to see each other until Tally is a pretty. "Peris was only three months older than Tally, but dropping her eyes to the floor, she felt like a littlie again." page 18
"Tally reminded herself of her promise to Peris. She was not going to get caught; she had to become a pretty for him." page 24

The aspect of Dystopian society in my novel is corporate and bureaucracy control. The author is trying to make a world where nobody is perfect.
