In grade 9 ELA class we are doing a novel study on a book of our choice. I have chosen the book uglies. So far I have enjoyed this book and it has been full of adventures and excitement. Uglies is a book about a girl named tally who is about to turn sixteen and she can’t wait to turn pretty. Tally’s friend Peris is already a pretty who is slowly losing interest for Tally. The setting is playing a really big part in the book because Tally is in ugly town and Peris is in pretty town. The pretty people are in one town the ugly People are in the other. So far I’ve connected with the main character Tally because she’s just calm and takes things as they come. So far the way the author has made the characters so laid back. Personally I love the way this author Scott Westerfeld has wrote this book. He writes it out so smoothly making it just like you are there in the book.
