The book “Ugly” by Robert Hoge it is a inspiring, true story about, Robert, a boy who grew up in Brisbane, Australia, with a tumor the size of a tennis ball on his face and two deformed legs.

Throughout the novel, Robert displays his admiration for the sanctity of life of all sorts, whether human or animal. Robert shared a loving relationship with his sister Rowena, whom he cared deeply about. Early in the novel, we learn that Rowena “was the first human being [Robert] remembered seeing” (Findley 14) and that their relationship escalated through the years to the point where Robert “became her guardian” (14) due to the fact that she was immobilized by her hydrocehpelia. We see through Robert’s character that he has a heavy heart for his sister. Rowena’s sudden death early in the novel affects Robert’s mindset as he grieves for her as he continues on his life journey. In addition to human life, Robert shares an admiration for the sanctity of animal life as well. Most notably, are Rowena’s rabbits, which are set to be euthanized after her death which Robert objects to. In his act of attempting to save the lives of the rabbits, he jumps on

In the movie, we are left wondering how this man came to be in Edna's world. The movie does not show the development of the relationship at all. It does not speak of the pain that both Edna and Robert have to endure. In the novel, Robert loves Edna deeply, but he tries to deny his love because she is a married woman. It is what drives him to Mexico and back again. He says, "I couldn't help loving you if you were ten times his wife; but so long as I . . . kept away I could help telling you so." (Chopin 142) The movie does not address the pain and indecision that paralyze Robert and Edna. It treats their relationship as a lack of self-control based on lust and the heat of the moment.

No one really looks at your personality if your an ugly. The only think they look at is your face. " Don't judge a book by it's cover" is completely forgot in the real world and in this book. During the reading of "Uglies", I have noticed that their is two themes.

Not only was Bub not welcoming to Robert when he came to stay with them, but Bub also came off as jealous when learning about Robert touching his wife’s face in the past time. On the last day of Bub’s wife working for Robert, Robert had felt Bub’s wife’s face before she left and after learning about this Bub did not seem thrilled. This could also play a part in why he was not so welcoming to the idea of Robert coming to stay with them. Bub’s wife also wrote poetry and sent them to Robert because Robert was more appreciative of her poetry since Bub did not care for her poetry or poetry in general. Although Bub was not interested in his wife’s poetry he did find interest and curiosity in Robert’s relationship with his late

Robert leaves Edna his note because he realizes he cannot be with Edna in the way that she wants, especially since they are already creating a mess out of everything she has ever created in her life with Leonce. Edna does not want another husband or to belong to anyone and Robert wants to be that to her; he wants to be her husband. In his “good-bye-because I love you” note he implies that his reason for saying goodbye is because he loves her, so he wants the best for her. Robert does not want to uproot Edna from everything she is in right now, especially not from her children, whom Robert cares deeply about. Robert also does not wish to be a toy, a distraction for Edna while she figures her life out, because he cares too much for her to be tossed around by her careless actions.

After acknowledging his feelings towards Clara, Robert is caught between his affection and innate bitterness towards all women.

But, immediately after

“There was not one but ready to follow when he lead the way.” Even though Robert is not around most of the time, he influences Edna more than he realizes. “Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her place her position in the world as a human being.” He essentially makes Edna second guess her marriage and the possibility of leaving her children behind. Robert brings Edna out of her shell and makes her more comfortable around others particularly standing up to her husband. “I don’t wish to go in, and I don’t intend to. Don’t speak to me like that again; I shall not answer you.” Robert shows Edna that he is connected to her and she falls for him almost instantly because that is what she has been missing while being married to Leonce. “We shall love each other… Nothing else in the world is of any consequence.” Despite the fact they have never been involved in any physical way, Robert knows that he feels more for Edna than any other women he has encountered. So he decides to run away from the truth and goes to Mexico to keep from having to show Edna his true love for her. Ultimately, Robert influenced Edna severely because she was second guessing her marriage, falling in love with him and even became friends with Mademoiselle Reisz through him. And she sadly even committed suicide in the end because she couldn’t deal with the hurt of being without
