She is caught straight after she meets Peris. In order to escape without getting caught, she rings the fire alarm and cause mayhem for the pretties. This creates a window of opportunity for Tally to run off safely. On her desperate escape, Tally meets Shay, who was also trying to escape. ** === === ** Tally and Shay become friends.

She starts to talk about she does not want to be pretty and her thoughts about running away to a place called “Smoke” where the rebellious uglies go in order to be free from being pretty. ** ===

** Shay runs away shortly before her operation and left Tally a cryptic note, saying how to run away to Smoke with Shay. **
=== ** On the day of Tally’s operation, she is taken to the ‘Special Circumstances’, where people look over and manage the city’s security and meets Dr. Cable, the head of the ‘Special Circumstances’. Dr. Cable tells Tally that she is not allowed to turn pretty unless she helps Dr. Cable to track down Shay and the people of ‘Smoke’. Horrified of the fact that she will not turn pretty, Tally unwillingly agrees to help and sets off on the journey to find ‘Smoke’. ** ===

Setting- Thomas Rooney :)
 * ﻿ **
 * Uglies is a science fiction novel written by Scott Westerfeld. The setting is very unique and is based in the future. During the book, there are three main cities; NewPrettyTown, Uglyville and the Smoke. **


 * NewPrettyTown is where all the uglies go after their operation. It is a big city with tall buildings, mansions, towers and parties being held every night. The city never sleeps. It is situated along the river bank which separates them from Uglyville. The pretties get anything they want and have all the latest technology with hoverboards and jetpacks. NewPrettyTown affects the story because that’s where all the pretties live and where they get the operation. **
 * Uglyville is where all the uglies live, while waiting for their operation to become pretty. The buildings are all plain and boring. Uglyville affects the story when they are separated from their parents and it’s not as good as pretty town. **


 * The Smoke, also known as the Rusty Ruins, is similar to current civilization, but deserted and crumbling away. The buildings are wearing away but the structure is still there. The smoke is much bigger than New Pretty Town and Uglyville. The smoke is amazingly massive compare to the other cities. This is the place where the story gets affected the most. It is restricted from everyone. **


 * In conclusion, the setting in the story is a major factor of all the problems that happen during the novel. **

** TALLY YOUNGBLOOD **

 * Tally Youngblood is very eager to become a pretty and live a life of perfection. While growing up, she was brainwashed into thinking that everyone normal is ugly physically and mentally and will not believe in any story that despises or goes against her point of view, making her very stubborn. She is also a person who always thinks about the negatives, the faults and their consequences, however she is still brave enough to face those thoughts head-on. **
 * According to Tally, she is ugly. She thinks that her eyes are too close together and are too squinty. Her friends call her ‘Squint’ only because of what she thinks about herself. However, after discovering the ugly truth behind being a pretty, she starts to appreciate herself. She forgets all her evil thoughts of being ugly and decides to live at ease as an ‘ugly’. **


 * DAVID **
 * David is someone who has lived life rough, without the comfort of modern technology. His body is solid and well adjusted to living in the wild, as he has done his whole life. His mind is also very healthy. He believes anything can be achieved with hard work and therefore is always doing his best to finish the job.**
 * Despite his solidarity, his physical and mental health, he dresses as someone who doesn’t have a home even though he has a personality of a successful man. His clothes are made of patches of leather sown together. His gloves and even his shoes are also made of dead animals. However, he has lived his whole life in the wild after all.**

**Shay**
 * Shay is an ‘Ugly’ who is one of the main characters in the novel Uglies who becomes Tally’s best friend. Shay doesn’t want to become ‘Pretty’ because she wants to be herself and not copy all the others in becoming ‘Pretty’. Shay is tall and skinny hence her nickname ‘skinny’. Shay has very thin lips compared to her best friend Tally, whose lips are very full. **
 * Shay is very rebellious in sneaking out of Ugly Ville to go to the Rust Ruins to meet with people from the Smoke. Shay is also very athletic and is a pro hover boarder. Shay can be angered easily and is also very stubborn in many ways. Shay is one of the main reasons for Tally having to go to the Smoke. Due to Shay ‘magically’ disappearing, special circumstances make Tally infiltrate the Smoke as a spy. **
 * Dr.Cable **
 * Dr.Cable is the head of a group of people called the special circumstances. This group deals with any problems that happen between the ‘pretties’ and the ‘uglies’. She has supposably ‘pretty’ and very cruel looks all in one. She can send a very uncomfortable feeling down your spine with one look. **
 * Part of the reason why Dr.Cable sent Shay out was because she was furious with the amount of disappearances in Ugly Ville. Dr.Cable blackmails Tally in to going because if Tally doesn’t go and find the smoke, she will never be pretty. She is a very heartless woman, even doing test experiments on humans. **
 * So wonderfully done :) **
