I have just started a new book, called Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It is about a girl named Tally who is about to turn sixteen, and this special age brings a change that will affect her life forever. The people from this dystopian society are born ugly, but undergo a strange transformation to become beautiful for the first time. The uglies are not allowed to talk to the pretties because they are still viewed as children, and pretties don't want to be embarrassed by their company.
Tally decides that she is going to see her friend Peris, but he is already a pretty and that would be illegal. Because it is illegal to go across the river, Tally has to be sneaky and hide around in bushes. She says two pretties together, but is able to get away without them knowing a thing. Tally eventually crosses the river to the mansion after a tough battle.
This blogpost gives me a very good idea of what the book is about. You gave a good description of the society and the rules of how things are ran. This blogpost contributes and helps us figure out what tthe conflict of the story will be about. Ive predicted that the rules and regulations of this society will get her into trouble for breaking them. This was a very imformative blogpost. Good Job!
