"New Pretty Town"

Find & quote ONE oxymoron from the chapter or ONE example of irony. (quote directly) on p.10 "the revelers were wearing masks, devil faces and horrible clowns, green monsters and grey aliens with big oval eyes, cats and dogs and cows, faces with crooked smiles or huge noses. Pretties are wearing masks of things that are not perfect!

Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed "white tie"? I think she wore the mask so she could hide her "ugly" apperance from the pretties. Also she did not know that the party was "whit tie".

Find info about the history of masks and post it. How does this relate to Tally's decision? Masks are a form of disguise.Masks generally are worn with a costume, often so complete that it covers the entire body of the wearer. When the wearer is attired in the mask, ther is a loss of his previous identity and the assuming of a new one.
