I would like to read Uglies by Scott Westerfield. The book reflects how I feel our society would run things if it were allowed to do so. Our society nowadays is so caught up on all looking the same in this “perfect” light and it appears that is what the idea of the book is also. The character Tally is inspiring by the fact that she in a sense turns her back on becoming a “pretty”. If an apocalypse occurred, I could see our society taking advantage of the little amount of people to transform it into a perfect community. This book takes a very interesting and intriguing direction at what would happen if an apocalypse occurred.
Hey Jordan! I completely agree with you about how society is so focused on beauty and trying to look like those "perfect" stars, even though half of them are not real or natural. I can see our society still trying to become that perfect ideal community also. Our country is already trying to be so diverse and equally free for anyone who comes here, so I feel like we are already trying to transform this country into the perfect community.
