Should Maddy have forced the "cure" down Shay's throat?
No, because if she did she would be no better than the infamouse Dr. Cable. She shouldn't force a chance on Shay that may destroy her.

is this quote a play on words, or does it have a deeper meaning in the story?

In this chapter a few uglies go to New pretty town to do a "trick" they make the workds "the smoke lives" with sparklers. If you had one chance to post a message important to you what would it be and why?

the uglies they met in this chapter are similar to Tally at the beggining of this book. When you compare he to these uglies how has Tally changed and what has made her change?
Tally is no longer focused on the operation. She doesn't want to be pretty. She changed because her life without prettyies, and her love for David.

Why would it have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the Smoke? Explain.
It would have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant upon arrival to the smoke because, after she had been there for a while she became attached to people she came to betray.

If David's parents were doctors, why do you think they ran away? Support your answer with textual evidence.
David's parents ran away and because they knew the damage the operation was causing "they reversed the operation", and because special circumstances was coming.

Tally will continue on her way to smoke, make camp, almost get burnt by rangers burning the white weed. She then will get a ride with the Rangers to the bald head, where she meats Shay.

Invent a dried food to take on your journey, what would it be like, how would you make it?
NAM would be a bar of freez-dried ice cream bar that I would take on my journy
The procsess to make it begins with delicious premium Grade "A" frozen ice cream which is frozen solid to 40 degrees below zero. It is then placed in a large vacuum chamber. An vacuum is drawn from the chamber and a small amount of heat is applied (between 100-130 degrees F). As this is done the frozen moisture from the ice cream is magically vaporized and goes from the frozen state to the dry state without going through the melted liquid state.
Make a list of things you would miss if you were forced to leave you home as Tally was.
1)Garrys Mod
2)my computer
3)my x-box 360
4)my dog Rosie
5)My friends
6)My bed
7)My TV

9)all of my other video games
