"Down River" pg.420

If you were Tally, would you ask the warden to make you pretty?

Yes and no. I would ask him because that was part of the deal that Tally made with Maddy, and she really wants Shay to take the pills so they can both be uglie friends forever. I would say no, because the warden is probably not going to no a single thing about the operation and how it works, because he is a cop!!

"Confessions" pg.415

Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind about her?

I don't think Tally will regret it. She finally told the truth and she can stop lying to everyone she likes. I think David will not change his mind about Tally, because he just loves her too much and he can't cry about her betrayal forever! (unless he is just a big wuss!)

"Hippocratic Oath" pg.405

Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure"? Why or Why not?

I think she shouldn't have, because Shay is having a great time being a pretty, even though she is brain damaged Shay deserves to be happy. If Maddy took that away from Shay that would make Maddy a serious punkasaurus rex!!!

"Night Alone" pg.398

If you were Shay, would you get the cure? Why or Why not?

Probably not. There may not be a big risk of dying from the cure, but there is still a chance, so I wouldn't want to take until it was tested on someone else. Also I wouldn't want to go through another transformation, because I would just want to stick with how I am. Also I would be having such a great time as a pretty, I would like the fact of going to awesome parties and dancing with superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hot girls!!!

"Getaway" pg.389

Respond to the following quote from the chapter...what does it mean to you? "Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friends thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."

To me it means that Shay is no longer her normal self. All of her feelings, emotions, and actions as an uglie are gone because of the lesions. Basically Shay is not a Smokie anymore and she is drunk like all of the pretties.

"Inside" pg.374

Is this quote a play on words, or does it have a deeper meaning to the story? "Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theatre Two."

I think it has a deeper meaning to the story because that might be the rooms where the doctors make the operation or where they study different things.

What "labels" do Tally and David find in the Special Circumstances building? Give a brief description of what you think each means.

They find Radiology, Neurology, Magnetic Imaging, Operating Theatre Two, Morgue, Interrogation Room One, Interrogation Roome Two, Isolation Room One, Disorientation Room One, and Long Term Detention. I think that Radiology is a room where they learn about radiation. I think Neurology is a room wher doctors learn about the operation. I think Magnetic Imaging is where they take x-rays of the operation patients. I think Operating Theatre Two is one of the operating rooms. I think the Morgue is where they keep dead bodies. I think Interrogation Room One and Two are where some Uglies are asked questions. I think Isolation Room one is where prisoners are kept. Disorientation room is probably where they put the uglies to sleep. Long Term Detention is probably where bad uglies are kept for a long long time.

Describe Shay's appearance at the end of the chapter.

> tall and elegant
> eyes-deep and soulful
> every feature perfection
