The Importance Of Tally

Tally is keeping track of the months and days until she will become a pretty and be able to see her best friend Peris again.

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

When Tally got on the hover-board to go and get her operation she could tell that something was wrong, but she did not know what it was: “The strange-looking man flew with an aggressive impatience”(Westerfeld 99). Then Tally was brought into Special Circumstances and brought into a room. Dr. Cable then walks into the room that Tally was in and told her that she would not be getting the pretty operation unless she helped them find the Smoke. When Tally decides to betray Shay to help Special Circumstances, so she can get the pretty operation is when Tally goes off on her journey to the

While escaping, Shay and Tally wound up riding a hover board together. Tally starts apologizing to Shay for betraying The Smoke, but Shay is okay with being pretty now. “Tally thought of the lesions on Shay’s brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they were, 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” (379 Scott Westerfeld). Tally is thinking to herself about what the government did to her best friend and why Shay would now be okay with the operation when she was so against it in the beginning. This proves that the government is putting lesions in all of the new pretties brains that they are not aware about. These lesions control people’s thoughts and change their personality so that there is no trace of their former selves which makes them beings of the government. This results in the government being able to maintain a position of high

Cable tells Tally, “’Then I’ll make you a promise too, Tally Youngblood. Until you help us, to the very best of your ability, you will never be pretty” (Loc 1309). After hearing this, Tally reluctantly agrees to help Dr. Cable find Shay. This moment is important because it symbolizes weakness and selfishness in human nature. Sometimes, we are willing to go against someone we love if it benefits ourselves. Tally wants to be perfect so badly that she is willing to turn her friend in to the authorities to get the operation she wants.

Lily still believes Zach is beautiful on the inside and out, but something has died in him. Lily thinks she could've helped Zach but in reality she couldn't. Lily also feels that something has died inside of her when she finds out about her mother and experiences May’s death.

She decided to go anyways and she crash landed in a river. She winds up breaking her hover board and has to walk the rest of the way across the entire city to get to the New Smokies. Then she realizes that she had landed in a Special circumstances experiment. After a week she escaped by using a hover- car and flies to the New Smoke. When she arrives David (her old boyfriend as a Smokie) is there with his hover board and they go to where everyone is staying in the New Smoke. But Tally finds out that Zane is still extremely sick. In the meantime, while they wait Tally decides to go to the river and take a bath. In the midst of it David goes to the river and tells her that someone had a tracker on them and the Specials should be there soon. He tells her everyone must leave, but first they have to find the bug. They check everyone but they find out that when Zane was in the hospital they implanted a tracker and they used it to find the New Smoke. They can’t take it out of Zane so everyone escapes except for Zane and Tally stays with him. A few minutes after the escape Special circumstances arrives and takes them both. When Tally awakens she realizes that Dr. Cable, a Special herself, has made Tally into a Special

Octavia and Sarah both help shape Cameron’s self-image, reflecting the acceptance Cameron has. The last night Cameron went to Stephanie's house to sit out the front, waiting for her to notice him and see how much he cared for her. Octavia had followed him, and asked Cameron to come and sit outside her house instead, Octavia could tell that Stephanie would never see how much Cameron cared for her and Octavia could see how this hurt Cameron. Octavia inviting Cameron to sit outside her house, is a way of showing Cameron that he deserves better, someone who will notice him and accept him.

The message that Scott Westerfeld is trying to convey is that to live life to the fullest, you may have to take risks. This is shown by the evidence the author provides through Shay and Tally’s conversations. When Tally laughed and said “In only… two months and fifteen days,” Shay asked “Can’t we just wait until then?” Tally then responded with a sigh, saying “Sometimes I don’t think I can.” Shay follows up saying “Hey, might as well make the best of it.” In this piece of dialogue, the author portrays Tally as sad, someone who is jealous while trying to laugh out their sadness. Meanwhile Shay is her counterpart, with positive emotions. The author is telling the reader here to live life to the fullest, both through Shay’s words, and the tone and Shay’s expression. The

Here's what I said "Yet you don't like Tally." I never said you hated her, I said exactly what you said in your other post so don't add what wasn't said by either of us.

After Tally becomes a pretty, she wants to join the top clique which is the Crims. They have to go to a party where they have to dress up, and the best dressed get voted into the Crims. At the party Tally believes she is being watched by someone. Tally think it is a member of the Special Circumstances team. But she soon discovers it is an old friend from the place she used to live and his name is Croy. He tells her that he has something for her, but he doesn’t get the chance to give it to her because the police come into the party looking for Croy. Croy hurries and gives Tally a note. The note gives Tally clues to the place Croy hid the secret object. Tally meets the head leader of the Crims, Zane. Tally mentions Croy’s name and Zane tells

Shay disappeared to the “smoke:” that is where other uglies run to if they do not want the operation, but the government does not approve of this choice. Even in the smoke, only a few know the truth about the operation. What will they do to save the people from the operation? In the smoke, they embrace

Holly is not sure of whom she is yet. She is constantly reminded of her past although she’s still running from it. It angers her when she is given a dose of stability. She wants to find herself on her own, not through those who’ve gotten to know her for such a short while. She wants her independence and to create her own schedules to go with her own everyday life.

Eventually, their acquaintance deepens, but not into intimacy, despite Maxime's pleas. This continues until Renee signs a contract for a six-week tour with Brague, her mentor, and his pupil. Now she must decide between Maxime and her career, as she recognizes that she cannot allow him to accompany her and is not yet ready to give up the wandering life, which somehow suits her. She then lies, promising to give herself to Maxime, but not until the tour is over. Renee leaves Paris, full of both hope and regret ().
