Uglies
What do you think?
1. Consider how much we importance we place upon appearance. Is our society heading toward a future like the one Tally lives in?
2. Other than the pretty operation, what are the main differences between the pretty society and our own? (Are there any ways in which the pretty society is healthier than ours?)
3. Symmetry. Tally and Shay play with computer programming that allows them to see themselves with an endless array of makeovers. Tally believes people just naturally see beauty in symmetry. Shay disagrees. Do you think it is natural or learned?
4. How did David see Tally differently than she saw herself?
