Week 1: Tia's Literary Luminary
1. I liked how on pg. 182 Croy wanted the SpagBol and Tally groaned and said "You can have it." I liked that part because the author could just say 'Tally was getting tired of SpagBol.' Instead, the author gives you a showing picture in your head about what is happening rather than a telling one.
2. I didn't think it was fair when on pg. 178 it says 'Her only way home was to betray her friend.' Sure Tally wants to be pretty, but she should think about Shay and how she made a promise first.
3. I thought it was weird how on pg. 178 it says 'She waited on the hill, exhausted but unable to sleep, wondering if she could really do what Dr. Cable wanted.' I thought this was weird, because if you are exhausted you should be able to sleep well. I think that maybe she couldn't sleep because she had too much on her mind.
4. I thought it was odd how on pg.126 it says 'Tally snorted. "You're not giving me a choice." I thought it was odd because Dr. Cable did give Tally a choice. In fact, he gave Tally 2 choices! One was to stay ugly forever and not help Dr. Cable, and one was to become pretty and betray Shay.
5. I thought it was interesting how on pg. 150 it says 'She skirted the edge of a massive cliff that overlooked a huge, black ocean. I thought this was interesting because oceans aren't black. Maybe there was an oil spill, but other than that, oceans can't be black. I wonder why the author decided to put black instead of blue, turquoise, green, or something else that is believable.

AMELIA WEEK TWO
1."iF THE PENDANT HAD BEEN DAMAGED" i picked this phrase that dr.cable said because when tally decided she was not going to help dr.cable she threw the pendant in the fire. not knowing that ''if the pendant had been damaged'' it would let dr.cable know where she is
2.''David held her tighter, tried to kiss her. She had to turn her face away,tears finally coming. ''tally you're amazing''. I picked this piece of writing to represent tally's lying to her friends and the people she loves.I wonder why tally keeps lying and if shes ever going to tell the truth about the pendant and her being the reason special circumstances are here.
3.''tally had never ridden a hoverboard without shoes before. Young smokies had all kinds of competitions,carrying weights or riding double, but no one has ever been that stupid.''I picked that statement because if tally put on shoes in the first place she and shay would still be friends. dr.cable wouldnt of been able to catch her the first time , plus she would be able to get away a lot faster this time.
4.''you say they put the prisoners in a rabbit pen?''I like the authors creativity in the book when the uglies were held captive. The reason why is becauseis the author could of just said cage but instead he used a rabbit pen the smokies used to stuff rabbits in.
