Uglies

       In the Uglies, Tally and Shay have met and have already become pretty good friends. Both of them are still ugly, and have not gotten the transformation that makes them pretty. The main ideas of the book can kind of be related to high school. In the book, the uglies all look up to the pretties and want to be like them but they can not because they are not of age. In high school, this is like the freshmen wanting to be older and and wanting to be like the junuiors or seniors. The juniors and senoirs get certain privileges that the freshmen don't get because they are older and more mature, having gone through most of their high school career. The uglies do not get to do all of the things that the pretties do including go to parties, and also living outside the certain area where uglies are required to live.

       It also relates to the idea of living with your parents and then moving out when you go to college. The uglies essentially get to move out after they become pretty, as do people when they finish high school.
