Over the summer I read the book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. This book is about a girl named Tally,she is an ugly. Tally has to go on a trip to a place called the smoke and betray one of her best friends to become pretty. On her trip Tally made new friends and also an emamy.In the end Tally learned to love the herself the way she was and no longer wanted to be pretty. Uglies are a group of people who society considers ugly. There are multiple different classes though. first there are littlies then, uglies then, new pretties, middle pretties ,and then late pretties.
An important passage from the book is “Once in the smoke,she could activetivate the pendent and be home within a day maybe within hours. All the food and clothes she would ever need, hers for the asking. Her face pretty at long last and Peris and all there old friends around her.” (Westerfeld 184)
The theme of the book is friendship and how other people's action can cause you a consequence. I know this because the main character Tally went through alot but her friends were always there to support her.After Tally was sent …show more content…
Tally is loyal because she keeps her promises and goes through with the plans she makes. I know this because in the text it states “ Just promise me that you won’t do any more stupid tricks.’Peris said ‘Like coming here.Something that’ll get you in trouble.’ I promise. Nothing stupid.”(Westerfeld,18) This is the promise that Tally made to Peris when she snuck into new pretty town.Tally made this promise to Peris and mostly kept the promise but she didn’t completely stay out of trouble.Also in the text it says “ I can’t help you.’ Tally said ‘I made a promise.” (Westerfeld,106) This is when Tally was in special circumstances and Dr.Cable asked her about where Shay was. Tally had promised Shay she wouldn’t tell anyone where she was going and she partially kept that
