Blog Post #52-"Down River"

• If you were Tally, would you ask the Warden to make you pretty.

Yes because that's the whole reason she went down to NPT. She really wants to become pretty and then get cured.

Blog Post #51-"Confessions"

• Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind about her?

Nope. I pretty dang sure a massive weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She has been practicing to tell him that for like a 2 months. Yeah I hope he doesn't but i'm pretty sure he will change his mind.

Blog Post #50-"Hippocratic Oath"

• Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?

If it was my best friend I would shove them down thier throat (nicely). Because I would love to have my old friend back.

• If you were Shay, would you get the cure? Why or why not?

DEFINITELY! Why not, you would be beautiful and still have no brain lesions. What the heck might as well try there is only a 1% chance you will become a vegetable.

Blog Post #48-"Get Away"

• Respond to the following quote from the chapter... what does it mean to you?"Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friend's thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."

I think this means Tally really wants the old ugly, Shay back. They were best friends and always pulled pranks together.

Blog Post #46-"Inside"

• Is this quote a play on words, or does it have a deeper meaning to the story? "Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theater Two."

I think those have a different meaning. I bet those are torture chambers where the "mess up" people. Let me just say they aren't a place you would want to go.

• What "labels'' do Tally and David find in Special Circumstances building? Give a BRIEF description of what you think each means.

Radiology means is probably where they take their skin off. Neurology means the thing they do to the brain. Magnetic energy is the is where the make your face pretty.

• Describe Shays appearance at the end of the chapter using textual evidence.

"Tall and elegant with eyes deep and soulful."
