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.

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.

"But you do know about genetics don't you? Sure i know all about genes. I knew two sisters, uglies, who looked almost the same. But parents and children? That's just weird."
In the city they are so used to being pretty over 16, that most have never seen a parent and child comparred withought the opertation.

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.

Find an image of a skyline like the one Tally sees. Post it. What is beautiful about it? Is there anything ugly about it?
It is beautiful with all the different neon lights that contrast with each other.
