What do you think of Shay's description of the model Shay and Tally have a skewed view of our time, but what have the got right?

post 25

Characterization, David:

David: born and raise in smoke. He is a nice guy and knows his way through the woods, he also has a crush on Tally

Picture of Smoke

it represents smoke becasue in the book it describes smoke as a group of huts

post 24

list events of the chapter in chronological order

1)Tally gets picked up by Rangers
2)They then drop her off at the rendesvous point
3)Tally is depressed at the thought of betraying her friend

respond to the following quote

Tally was stuck out here in the wild forever. Ugly for life. Her only way home was to betray her friend."

Tally is depressed, forced between two very difficult roads, be ugly for lief or betray her friend.

post 23

give one example of each of these from the chapter

Imagry: a tearing noise filled the air, the crackle of dry brush in flames, and the smell of smoke swept over Tally

personification: A noise thundered to life

simile: her footsteps ignited in flame as she ran, like putting a poker into a slumbering fire

post 22

what do you think the flying machine was, who was in it and what will happen next.

the flying machine was: a helicopter

who was in it: Rangers smoking an invasive species of weed

Tally will be burnt to death with the flowers, the rangers will not see her.

Have you ever made yourself do something you didn't want to, but knew you had to?

Yes

predict what you think is coming next?

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
8)Mrs. Copeland
9)all of my other video games
10) and Oh Yeah, my Family

Why do you think Peris comes back?

Peris come back because he still semi-cares and wonders why she isn't pretty.

"It had never occured to her Peris would want to see her, especially not here in uglyville, but there he was, worried, anxious, loving."

What does the following quote from the chapter tell you about the city?

"That was one thing about being outside the city: it made all that nature stuff they tought in school seem alot more useful. She remembered now how rainwater fell on the mountains and soaked into the ground."
