• Find and quote one oxymoron or one example of irony

"Tally smiled. The revelers were wearing masks." Uglies pg. 10. I think this ironic because, they are already pretty.

• Why do you think Tally choose to wear a mask to a party deemed "white tie"?

Because Tally is is ugly and she is trying to get into a pretties party. She needed a disguise.

• Find the history of masks and post it

The Cultural History of Masks - Life123: "Masks have been used for thousands and thousands of years in cultures around the world. Early masks were probably made from local materials. Harder-to-find or more precious materials would probably have been used to embellish more important masks in ancient times, as they are now.
Over the centuries, masks became associated with religion. For example, ancient Egyptians considered mummy masks to be an important part of the transition to afterlife. Today, masks made by the Iroquois people are so precious to their beliefs that the Iroquois leadership is requesting the return of face masks from museums and private collections. Traditional Iroquois want to properly care for these masks according to their ancient traditions."

• I think beauty is "good looks"



• I think if everyone was beautiful, life would still be....normal

I think mountains are BEAUTIFUL because, living in Texas i never get to see any.

I think this house is UGLY because it is falling apart. Also if it wasn't falling apart it would still be ugly.
