If I was Tally, I would ask the warden to make me pretty. It would probably either be that or get dragged into Special Circumstances to be punished by Dr. Cable.

The only thing Tally will regret, I think, is not telling everyone she betrayed them sooner. Now that Smoke is destroyed and Az is dead, I think David's going to be pretty mad at her. Maybe not hate her completely, but he'll be disappointed.

I think Maddy made the right choice of not forcing Shay to take the cure. I totally agree with her speech about "being like Dr. Cable" if she had given it to her it against her will. However, the real, ugly Shay would have done in a heartbeat, so I guess it was kind of hard to let it go. :/

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

Well, it depends. If they lesions were working on me, I probably wouldn't because, well, I'd be brainwashed. But if it was my decision, I would, because there was only a 1% chance of me turning into a "vegetable". I think that's a reasonable chance for me to take.

"Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or sounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friend's thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."

I think that Tally is very frustrated right now. Her friend has just practically been brainwashed, and she has all this gross stuff on her brain. To me, this is Tally kind of internally freaking out, because she was too late. Tally knew her friend wasn't the same person she was as an ugly. :(

"Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theatre Two."
Play on words or deeper meaning?

I think, as they are passing these rooms, Tally and David are hoping the Smokies aren't in them. All the names sound slightly scary and operation-y.


Labels:
Radiology: something that has to do with x-rays.
Neurology: science of nervousness...or the nervous system?
Magnetic imaging: maybe a way to view the operation magnetically...
Operating Theatre Two: self-explanatory...the second room for operating.
Interrogation Room 1 & 2: two rooms for questioning people.
Isolation Room One: where uglies sit silently alone...maybe for punishment.
Disorientation Room One: where the workers can deceive the uglies so they get a good outcome. (for them)

Pretty Shay

"She was tall and elegant, every feature perfection. Her eyes-deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold-widened with a troubled look. Her generous lips parted wordlessly, and she raised one graceful hand. Tally's heart almost stopped at the beauty of her confusion." Uglies, pg. 381 :)
