Is David right? Is Tally amazing? Do you think she should be feeling guilty? Why or why not?
Kayli Says: Yes, of course!!! Even IF, which Tally did, become an infiltraitor for the Specials, she still had the guts to fight back. Against the Specials. That's prety amazing, don't you think? She should be feeling a little gulity, though, because she was a spy, and she betrayed everyone.

Blog Post #38: " Run "
Who is the voice in the dark? Do you think it will be a friend or enemy to Tally? What do you think Tally will do now?
Kayli Says: David. D-a-v-i-d. No doubt about it, nope not one bit. He's one who's the kind of person to randomly pop up out of nowhere like that. Obviously, he's a friend, and who knows, they could end up kissing OR Tally could tell him the truth finally.

Explain what self preservation means to you. Is it the most important thing? Would you lie because of it?
Kayli Says: Self preservation is just as it says. It means to preserve yourself, plain and simple. To me it also means to be above others. For example, say if everyone loves Twilight, which I hate and think is very overrated, don't like it just because everyone else does, because you as a person are above it, all of it. It may not be the most important thing, but it's floating around there in the top 10. Because of it, I wouldn't lie, but since I do anyway, I guess that doesn't matter anyway.

Blog Post #36: " The Rabbit Pen "
Tally had changed her mind about the Smoke and the operation, but what will she do about all that now? Whose side is she on?
Kayli Says: Tally...Tally...Tally. IDK. She's on one side, then just randomly jumps the fence to the other side whenever she feels like it. I think now, though, that she's sided with the Smoke, but then again, the whole point of this invasion was to bring back the Smokies and she did this so that she wouldn't have to be an Ugly forever, which is totally selfish, not selfless. But then again, she did try to destroy the pendant only so that she could stay in the Smoke and maybe not have to turn Pretty. So maybe this was all a mistake, you know, the invasion and all. Let's hope it is too. So this is like a win-win, lose-lose situation wev'e got on our hands here. Good luck deciding people, because I, I'm sooooooooooooooo NOT!!!!! K-outie!!!

Blog Post #34: " Burning Bridges "
Read the following quote David says to Tally.
"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful."
Name one person in your personal life, and one in your academic life...what makes this person beautiful?
Kayli Says:
Personal Life: I've got a few people to name. My mom, dad, Grandparents, but I think i'm gonna have to go with my Aunt Norene. She's just like me, flavorful and AWESOME!!! Every time I see her, which isn't always often, she shines a ray of sunlight and creativity onto my soul. Love Ya!!!
Academic Life: Once again, a few nominees. But I'm gonna have to say TWO names. Mrs. Copeland and Mr. Winebrenner. Both are really awesome and fun people, and I'm going to be pretty bummed out when I go to MHS in 2 years. Love Ya 2 2!!!

Blog Post #33: " Pretty Minds "
Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you/to the story?
" Becoming pretty doesn't change the the way you look...it changes the way you think. "
How would you want to change mentally and physically if you were Pretty?
Kayli Says: Let's make a list, shall we?
#1: Not being greedy or anything, but let's face it, I'm already in Honor's Band, and I still want a little more " musical genius " in me, so I'm sorry but, Ciara Pink, you are going to have to give up 3rd chair, no offense.
#2: If being Pretty means I'm pretty, which it does, I would like like to be just a tad prettier than Pretty, if that makes sense and is even possible, just so I can snag that one guy finally.
#3: I would like to be a little bit more of a briber. This way I could get anything I want! (Via 1 and 2)
#4: I would be amazin' at math, though I would still H-A-T-E-I-T!!!
#5: My hair would be a little easier to manage. Yay!
6#: I would be a total trendsetter, oh wait, I think I already am!!! Lol!!!
#7: I would be better at a few sports...
#8: I'm running out of things to put here on this list
#9: I would be an amazin' child author. I'm actually writing one on my computer right now, kinda. I'm writing this right now, actually.
#10: Last but not least, number 10. Too bad I don't know what else to write. Type. Whatever. So I guess I'd have to say I wish Mrs. Copeland could be my language teacher...Forever!!!!! That and that I could win the lotto and have a vacation home in Hawaii.....Decisions, Decisions...Just Kiddin'...I think...Lol!!!!!

Blog Post #32: " The Secret "
What does the following quote tell you about the city and society in general?
" 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. "
Kayli Says: It tells me that, even though a city can be so technological, so advanced, it can be the stupidest city ever. How is this so, you ask? Well, if a person, living in a city, doesn't know about human genetics by the time they are 16, and because the government is keeping it all a secret, don't you think there is a problem? Uh, yeah! That's like brainwash I tell you, Brainwash!!! These people are the closest human example to aliens ever!!! Well, except for Special Circumstances, of course, those people are creepy!!!

Find an example of Imagery, Personification and a Simile. Quote directly and give page numbers.
Kayli Says:
1) Imagery: " The thought of rabbits being killed, skinned, and cooked suited her mood. " (Page 243)
2) Personification: " Now that she'd spent a day cutting trees herself, the wooden table in the dining hall no longer horrified her. " (Page 243)
3) Simile: " Like the rest of her day, this meal tasted brutal and serious. " (Page 243)

Blog Post #30: " Suspicion "
Do you think Shay has a right to be jealous of Tally? Why or why not?
Kayli Says: You're kidding, right? Well, wait, it's kinda a trick question. On the " Yes Shay Can Be Jealous Side ", Tally did make the whole journey alone, and they said that no one had ever done that before. But on the " No Right to be Jealous Side ", Tally didn't even try make Shay jealous, and I'm pretty sure if she knew that she was, she would apologize, no doubt about it. I guess I'm just gonna have to say that Shay has absolutly no right at all to be jealous of Tally. No right. Nada.

Blog Post #29: " Hearthrob "
Why would it have been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the Smoke? Explain.
Kayli Says: 1 word: attachment. Tally should have activated the pendant right when she got to the smoke so that she wouldn't have to go through the whole " well maybe I don't want to anymore " problem.

Blog Post #28: " David "
If David's parents were doctors, why do you think they ran away? Support your answer with textual evidence.
Kayli Says: Well for starters, when David's 'rents found out about the lesions, they obviously didn't want their knowledge taken away. In turn, they ran away so they could, maybe do something about these brain lesions.

Blog Post #27: " Work "
Find an image of a skyline like the one Tally sees. Post it. What is beautiful about it? Is there anything ugly about it?
Kayli Says: In this picture, there can't be anything possibly ugly about it. It's just so peaceful and natural, something that isn't always easy to find.
Blog Post #26: " The Model "
What do you think about Shay's description of a model?
Kayli Says: I think she is pretty close to what a model really is, except for the part where everyone else is ugly. Well, uh, let me tell you something Shay, I don't care if you're just a name on paper, but I am NOT under ANY circumstances, UGLY!!!

Blog Post #25: " Lies "
Characterization of David:
Kayli Says: David is-
" An Ugly, but he had a nice smile. And his face held a kind of confidence that Tally had never seen in an Ugly before. Maybe he was a few years older than she was. Tally had never seen anyone mature naturally past age sixteen. She wondered how much of being ugly was just an awkward age. "

List the important events in this chapter in chronological order.
Kayli Says: 1. Tally gets rescued by the "rangers", 2. These ranger people teach her about why they're burning the flowers and about helicopters, 3. The rangers drop Tally off in almost the middle of nowhere, and finally, 4. Tally reaches a " bald head " place and waits.

Kayli Says:
1.) Imagery: " A ragged wall of flame moved through the flowers, giving off a wave of blistering heat. "
2.) Personification: " The fire stretched in an unbroken wall across the opposite shore, a roaring wind pressing at its back and sending embers flying across to alight on the near side. "
3.) Simile: " At first there was a sound like a roaring wind in her dreams. "

Blog Post #22: " The Side You Despise "
What do you think the flying machine was? Who was in it? Make a prediction.
Kayli Says: I think it could have been a flying robot or something. I'm not 100% sure, but that's what I think it was. Now if it really was a flying robot, the people inside would be, most likely, evil, you know, like the people from Special Circumstances. Ya, bad times...BAAAAAADDDDD times. And so, accordingly, my prediction is as such; The people in that flying contraption are up to no good and are probably out to get Tally. Predict OUT.

Blog Post #21: " The Worst Mistake "
Have you ever made yourself do something that you didn't wan to do because you knew you had to?

Blog Post #20: " Spagbol "
Invent a dry food you would take with you on your journey if you were Tally. What would it be and how would you make it?
Kayli Says: Along with the toothbrush pill, there is now also a very cool new Blue Pill on the scene. Presenting, the new, amazing, blue-ly-colored,...Friple!!! This product, very alike to the toothbrush pill, is, well, a pill. BUT IT'S BLUE!!! This new product comes with a size adapter, for your water purifier. Just attach and pick your size. This works with ALL dried foods that use a water purifier!!! Now, back to the Friple. Just drop the tiny blue pill into your water purifier, pick the size on your size adapter, and in only 3 seconds, I repeat, THIS MEAL COOKS IN ONLY 3 SECONDS, you will have a delicious plate of BLUE FRENCH FRIES!!! Thank you for your time and consideration. Now, please turn your attention to the fine print.
Fine Print: Kayli Randle Industries does not cover any accidents while cooking. We will also only be able to replace this product and size adapter ONLY twice, so if you are a very stupid and clumsy person, please refrain from using this product, for it may not be the one for you.

Perky Jerky is a flavor made especially for dorks. Enjoy(NOT!!!!!)
Blog Post #19: " Leaving "
Why do you think that Tally ultimately decides to figure out where Shay is?
Kayli Says: Tally probably feels all left out, that everyone's younger than her and such, so she decides that she can make it all go away if she just does what Dr. Cable wants her to do. And plus, being an Ugly for the rest of your life is a pretty haunting idea.
