It is pretty normal to us to prefer Tally because she is the principal character in this book. She is also our favorite character because since the beginning of the book, she has experienced several experiences as much action as social. For us, she has played the biggest and interesting role in the entire book.

Write a short Breaking News story about the invasion of the Smoke from the perspective of a journalist from Special Circumstances.
The alarm has been triggered this afternoon by someone named Tally, someone coming from Ugly Town. The special circumstances have been deployed, and they are on terrain at the moment that we talk right now. They have been deployed in what is call the Smoke, they are illegal citizen who manages to escape Ugly Town to live in insanely bad conditions. I just received new informations! As it seems the specials circumstances are having no problem controlling the inhabitants of the Smoke. Some of these people may be fleeing so if you see one of them, report them immediately to the closest police station as fast as possible or you will be guilty of being partner in crime with the fugitives. It was all for me and sees you very soon!

The character we found the least useful in the story is Peris because

Peris contributed a lot to Tally's influence at the beginning of the novel because he connected with Tally’s personality. Although Peris helped to develop a strong friendship with Tally, he does not appear much in the book. At first, he brings Tally an adventure to find his destiny. In our opinion, we have expected to see Peris more often in the novel because he is at the base of all the adventures of Tally. It's unbearable because he lives in Pretty Town and Tally lives in Ugly Town. Peris was a fun and crazy person in the city of uglies, but when he arrived in the Pretty town, he became a pretty good person, he began to worry about himself. He held out that before he had anything to do with it, he did not enjoy himself as much as in the city of uglies.

-They like to break the rules (rebels) for example at the beginning of the book they meet others by breaking the rules. (being on the pretties territory)

- Brave, they tried to resist the special circumstances during the surprise invasion.

Differences:
-Shay thinks that it's possible to be pretty while being judge “ugly” by the society that they live in.

-Tally isn’t loyal (on the other side Shay is.), and that her biggest weakness, she had betrayed his friend (Peris) to be with Shay and keep her promise with her (to not reveal the position of the Smoke).
-Tally have a low self-esteem because she can’t consider herself pretty because she didn’t get the operation and on the other hand, Shay think she is beautiful the way she is originally.

Describe two themes in the novel. Justify with elements from the text. Research and illustrate a quote that fits with each theme.

- Solidarity
Tally specially show solidarity toward her friends:
She proves us several times in the book that she is someone loyal mostly with is friends Shay and Peris. Let’s talk about Shay, Tally sworn to respect her promise by not to reveal the position of the Smoke Village or decoding it by anyways to anyone. You may say that she didn’t respect her promise with Peris, but she didn’t put herself in trouble she has tried to escape the problem that Shay could’d give to her.

-Quote:
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

- Lies
Thru the book, we have seen a lot of moment about lies. For example the biggest lie that the book informs us is that they, during the operation, damage your brain by purpose to make you think slower and other stuffs. We also have this part where Tally had tried to get a bungee jacket with David, she lied to the uglies by telling them that they are in a transition period. There is plenty more in the book. I consider the lie as the biggest theme of the book due to the quantity that the writer has left us in the novel.

- Quote:
I'm not upset that you lied to me. I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you. (this is a perfect quote for Tally toward Pretty Town.)

Identify two conflicts in the novel. Justify with elements from the text. Research and illustrate a quote that fits each conflict
Since the beginning of the book, we observed many of the conflicts and we find out that they are all human vs human. The first conflict concerns two groups, the pretties and the uglies. They are both living their own way, which is totally different. They don’t hate each other, but the pretties judge the uglies. Uglies look like animals to pretties or they see them as a shame to the human evolution.  The second conflict of the book is human vs society. Tally is confronted to a society where she has to live with standards of beauty. She hopes and have the goal to become a pretty. When she met Shay, that changed her perception of New Pretty Town. She didn’t know what to think of the society and she was no sure of what she wanted to become at this point.

The principal antagonist of the book is The Special Circumstances. She are always the Tally’s enemy throughout the book. For example, when they attack the smoke it was against tally. They attack because the cities of smoke have a different type of life, The Special Circumstance think that they can’t live. Also,For example, when they stop Tally before she is going to become pretty. The goal of Tally was to become pretty and they stopped her from becoming what she wanted to be. Again, it shows how they are against her destiny. Also, it plays a big part in the story, because it changes the course of it a lot by intercepting Tally. If Tally would not have agreed to work with the Special Circumstances, the city of The Smoke would not have been destroyed.

-Describe what you liked and disliked about Part 3 of the novel. Provide evidence from the text.

Personally, I did like part 3 of the novel way more than the other parts because there were more action and twists to be book, I felt that the book really ‘‘happens’’ on this part of the book. Plus, for me a good book absolutely need to have action and twists or the book would be pretty average and boring. For example, I really liked the part were Shay and David rescued the uglies from the pretties, and I wasn’t expected Shay to become pretty (this is the perfect part of the book that represent what I am saying earlier.).

-Write a short book recommendation or book review explaining why your peers should or

should not read this novel. Provide evidence from the text.
I found that the book was good, but unfortunately we do not recommend this reading. From my point of view, i findt this reading quite difficult. This is a good action book, but unfortunately there is too much unnecessary details. For example, there is too many details on the cities that Tally goes to like The Smoke, Ugly Town and Pretty Town. Also, we think that there was a lot of characters and we couldn’t keep track on the names and the personality of the characters. Furthermore, we found that the chapters were too long and readers like us will found this book difficult to read. Some words were also complex to understand. Briefly, we do not recommend that book because it is difficult.
