Title: Conformity vs. Individuality
Review: In Uglies, written by Scott Westerfeld, he brings the idea of conformity over individuality to our society today. In midst of a modern society, a young girl struggles to find her inner beauty. Tally, a young "ugly" is contemplating growing up, and just wants to fit in. When Tally's best friend Peris reaches the age of sixteen and undergoes the pretty operation before Tally, she feels as if she has been left alone in the world. That is, until she meets another rebellious "ugly" named Shay. Until that time, Tally had been set on the operation, but Shay convinced her otherwise. When Shay introduces someone from the outside world to Tally, her world turns upside down. She is faced with a dire decision to make. Never become pretty? Or betray her best friend?By Hillary, Brooklynn, Rachel, & Michelle (12th grade)
