Tally, an Astonishing Character in the Book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Both were sneaking in the town and stayed friends since. Nevertheless there friendship has suffered major tests throughout the book however a bigger question may be that why did shay stick with tally even though she was an ugly in new pretty town, trying to meet an old friend and was about to get caught by the police? The answer is that Shay didn’t care about how she looked what situation she was in but she cared about her and her personality. Also, Shay’s action when meeting new uglies show that she isn’t judgemental however she is open to the littlies and the mid year

The first example of courage is when Melinda is told that she needs to read her suffragette report in front of the class. The easy option would've been to just read her paper in front of the class but instead she took a different approach, an approach she considered the right option. Instead of reading her report she writes on the board, "The suffragettes fought for the right to speak. They were attacked, arrested, and thrown in jail for daring to do what they

It is important to have courage because it will encourage and help you to meet new people and do better things for other people and yourself. In speak Melinda develops social problems because of her bad experiences in the past, which is why it took her a lot of courage to go to a pep rally for her school. This benefited her because it made her meet new people and socialize even if she didn’t want to, this made her step out of her comfort zone and gain self confidence. “I’ve always wanted to go to a pep rally. Can you imagine what it must be like to be on the football team and have

Courage means to go out of your way to face your fears. The book Jasper Jones displays many examples of courage throughout the book. The book Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey is a book about a mystery. The main Charlie is awaken by the knock of Jasper Jones on his window, later that night they find something that shocks them both. They have found a girl by the name of Laura Wishart hanging from a tree near where they usually hang out.

Courage is an important quality to have, because everyone can’t always be afraid of everything and let their fears hold them back. Sometimes people have to do things that they don’t want to do, or they have to face their fears.

In Uglies by Westerfeld, the main character, Tally goes through changes through out the book, like Tally’s decision on becoming a pretty and her choice of going to the Smoke. Tally Youngblood is the protagonist in the novel Uglies. Throughout the story, Tally Youngblood experiences a lot of changes. As Tally’s character experience these changes, her perspective on turning pretty had changed while meeting Shay helped Tally become more rebellious.

Courage is when you are willing to do something above your comfort zone to show what you’re made of. In a novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Mildred D. Taylor uses an example of a young girl named Cassie Logan , who is colored, that must stand up for her convictions despite many injustices against her and her family. Cassie proves her courage by protecting her little brother Little Man from getting in big trouble, facing her white enemy Lillian Jean Simms, and being helpful to T.J despite his actions against her family. Cassie made many choices that proved her sassiness and how outspoken she was. She loved her family and had deep respect for the land they lived on. During a time period when the word “equality” meant nothing to those who surrounded her, Cassie shows those who see her actions that she is willing to face the many consequences that lie before her with standing up for her beliefs.

Courage can mean being adventurous or doing something by yourself for the first time. Real courage is having perseverance, determination and doing what you believe in. According to Atticus Finch in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, real courage is “when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.” Mrs. Dubose, Boo Radley, and Atticus show their courage by never giving up when things get tough or being afraid of going against societal norms.

The story is based on her life, how she meets new friends, and about her journey to “The Smoke.” In the book she shows three main traits. She's very caring, she demonstrates this when she tells Shay to be careful on her trip to “The Smoke.” Tally also helps David look for his parents. Another value she shows is a bad example, she exhibits a non-trustworthy person because she tells Dr. Cable all about “The Smoke.” She is also not fair due to her giving up “The Smoke,” that wasn't fair because other people lived there and they deserved to be happy, even though she did it by accident. Those are the main traits that she

At the beginning of chapter thirteen the diary entry says “I would do anything for my sister. -page 23 of Tessa Waye’s diary”. In this chapter it talks about their sisters a lot, “Tessa’s sister is sitting on an overstuffed couch between two overstuffed women.” (Bernard 89). When Wick asked Tally how she know about her hacking she told her that Lily told her. “My sister? I didn't even know Lily and Tally were friends, and even if they were, how could Lily have betrayed me?” (Bernard 91). Wick was telling Tally that's she didn't want to get involved and then she found out who's next, “You haven't read this. It's all about Lily. He wants her. She's next.” Tally said to Wick. (Bernard

Dr. Cable gives Tally supplies to get to the Rusties and a heart-shaped locket that she is to activate when she finds Shay. Once Tally activates it, Special Circumstances will be able to find the location of the Rusties and arrest any outlaws living there. Tally travels for several days and nights and finally gets to the Rusties. Shay is happy to see her, and immediately introduces her to all of her new friends. These friends include David, a sixteen year old that ran away from the surgery because he wanted to stay pure. When Tally meets him, she thinks to herself, “He was an ugly, but he had a nice smile. And his face held a kind of confidence Tally had never seen in an ugly before” (Loc 2180). David represents pureness and reality. In our world, we classify someone as beautiful if they have exquisite features that are rare. In Tally’s world, everyone was given these rare features,

Courage is the ability for standing up for someone with strength and helping people when no one will. Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of thunder, Cassie faces discrimination she shows courage for standing up for blacks rights. Her family and all African Americans are treated unfairly because of the color of their skin. She stands up for her convictions and doesn’t change her convictions. She showed courage when she stood up to Mrs. Crocker, Lillian Jean, and Mr. Barnett at the mercantile. She had a lot of things that she didn’t understand at the time.

Courage or the act of being courageous is something that can depict if a person is being weak. This act ties into the classic tale when identifying the strength it took Sundiata to walk. Sundiata was at an age where other young boys were gathering objects for their mothers and he simply could not, due to the fact that he was unable to walk. However, “In a great effort he straightened up and was on his feet at one go, but the great bar of iron was twisted and had taken the form of a bow.” (Page 21) A boy who once couldn't walk was now walking. He who once had to depend on his mother can now be the one his mother depends on. Thus, “ When Sogolon saw her son standing she stood dumb for a moment, then suddenly she sang these words of thanks to god who had given her son the use of his legs”. (Page 21) Sogolon was so discouraged to the point where the sight of her son’s slow development became an embarrassment. She soon became joyful of the courage

Being pretty is a strange thing; some love you, and others will despise you. Being ugly is an even stranger thing; most days you probably go unnoticed. Many people may like the privacy of being ugly and do not mind being ugly. Tally Youngblood, from the novel Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, is definitely not okay with being ugly. She will do anything to be pretty, even betray her friends. “‘But I can’t help them,’ Tally said. ‘I promised Shay I wouldn't tell her plans’” (Westerfeld 113). Once she finds out the truth, will she change her mind or regret her decisions?

For instance, the passage states, “The next day I arrived at school twenty minutes early and did what needed to be done.” In other words, this shows Ava is courageous because even though the coach and the boys are rude to her, she is sticking up for herself, and telling the teachers what is going on. This is very courageous because the boys could come back at her. Along with this, another way Ava is courageous is when she talks to Lindsay about the track team. This shows courage because since the boys were mean to her, and she hadn’t talked to anyone about track, it could have been scary to talk about the track team and confide in someone. But Ava talked about it anyhow, and that shows a lot of courage. In addition, the passage also states that the boys were asking if Ava was dead, and then when she replied, they said,”I thought we’d get lucky.” This represents the claim because she had to not cry and show courage because otherwise, they would then be mean to her even more. In conclusion, the theme of courage shows up a lot throughout the story Don’t Give Up The
