Uglies In the novel Uglies, Tally Youngblood (ugly) feels she is ugly because society put that label on her. This book helped me in many ways one of them was not judging people just because they don’t compare to my standards. Before I had read this book whenever I saw what I thought was an unbalanced couple where the guy or girl was too pretty for the other. I would tell my brother that they don’t belong together because she’s too pretty for him, how did he end up with her, or why would she date someone so ugly compared to her. Now whenever I see a couple or I’m talking to one I ask them how they ended up together and whether they are in love. I don’t judge people anymore on how they look but their personality. When the whole society put the label of ugly on Tally and she sees what she thinks is pretty she believes she is ugly. She is able to pick out all the defects of any person she’s friends with including herself. Another factor trying to make Tally turn pretty is her best childhood friend, Peris, when she sneaks into Pretty Town and finds Peris and he asks her to promise him that she’ll turn pretty. When she sneaking out of Pretty Town she meets a girl named Shay (ugly) who she eventually becomes best friends and learning they both have the same birthday. Tally talks about how they get to become pretty on the same day but Shay has a different idea. Shay knows of another town called the Smoke where the mysterious David lives. Tally doesn’t believe her so Shay takes her out to meet David. Shay’s confidence drops when David doesn’t show up twice when they signal him. Eventually a couple days before they turn Shay runs away to the Smoke and leaves directions for Tally if she wants to come. The day arrives and Tally goes to the operation room but is pulled out by this place called Special Circumstances. They want Tally to help them find the Smoke
