Uglies by Scott Westerfeld discussion

I guess so...yes. I mean if I had to choose for Tally I'd defintely say No. but for me...yes. Idk y.

thats hard... i wouldnt want a different mind

no ... i mean it would be great to look good but having no brain would kinda suck. hahaha.

no..its unnatural and weird. yeah the brain thing too lol.

yeah id hate the brain thing
idk. really.

No. I like the way I look!

I would say yes, for me. You're right about Tally - she definitely shouldn't be. But I would do just fine as a pretty.

Me2.
except 4 the brain thing

no XD

well i think you should learn to love the way u look and find your inner beauty

I might... but I would hate to with the lesuire thing.

same here

idk, being pretty would be kind of nice, but i like the way i look! plus, the lesions sound a little creepy! like having a whole new brain! i like thinking the way i do now. and risking brain damage 2 cure it it 2 risky for me, so idk, maybe.

ik1 i wud wanna be pretty but without the pigheadedness and lesions

or i wud wanna be a special Tally makes it sound fun

I would like all the benefits of a Special, but I would not like the outside look. Or that skin-tenna thing...or that full body tattoo.

the skintenns sounds interesting but the tatoos.. uhgggg

yea, i dont even want a tatoo! and those tatoos sound horrible!

haha i think they could be cool. depends. :P

yea u never know they might sound weird now but in th efuture....

We say no because we know its the wrong decision. It would mess up ur brain. But i know that i would definintly want to turn pretty, if i lived in tally's time period.

But with the whole bubble brain thing? no

duh1 i mean who wud want that?

if they had the choice. unless of course thye were noble like tally was for shay. it was really sad though how she completly forgot everything that happened at the smoke when she became a bubble head.

ik! that was sooo sad and then wen Davis came she was like "ur ugly" i mean that was soo sad!

and then when david was like "my mom was right, your brain hasnt really changed, u just want zane because he's pretty and your still pretty too" and then he just walked away :(

i wouldn't want to be pretty. the operation sounds wayyyy to horrible

yeah it really does sound pretty grousome....but ig uess if the world had been doing it for generations...and u were brainwashed into thinking u were ugly.....idk it still sounds kinda extreme

yea! but put urself in Tally's shoes an dtell me if u wud want it or not

good point... i think we all would because it would just be the culture... we wouldnt know better... it would be a way of life

yea

I would love to have the good looks cuz I hate my body but I don't think I would do it-- 1) I'm a wimp for pain 2)I really like my brain the way it is 3) everyone needs to learn to love their body without surgery-- I'm still workin on it.

exactly!

Although I would love to be pretty because I'm not already, I wouldn't want my mind to be changed. I bet partying would get boring after awhile though.

definetly, i mean if we think about now.. we think that it might be fun, but once we expereince it, it can get really cliche

but tally said that after a few years, the partying gets boring, which is when they choose a job and go through the operation to become middle pretties

I would become pretty because there would be no other option. I mean, if this process was all i knew growing up, then i would believe it normal, and i would yearn to become pretty as Tally did in the beggining of Uglies.

yea but still the bubbleheadedness is like wierd and u hav it for ur whole life

hmm

If I had to choose between being an Ugly, Pretty, or Special, I would choose Special, but I hope I wouldn't look "Cruely Pretty" as Tally describes it.

I would definently want to be a special too, even though they are *completly* evil. Has anyone read twilight? if so, who do you think would win the fight if it was between a special and a vampire?

I would want to be a pretty without brain lesions. Cause I'm a sucker for fun...so i'd like to drink champagne and party and jump of buildings and skate on a hovering ice rink. Then again, it was be pwnsome to be a Special

ditto

i agree. it was just normal for people, they knew nothing else.

i would so become pretty because all you have to do is have fun and party and you fit in

i would if their were no brain lesions.

you don't know about the lesions

true so then it would be like there weren't any lesions, in that case HECK YEAH I'D BE PRETTY!

duh me too

Exactly my thoughts
