government control

I think one way the government is trying to control us is using the internet. The government is already trying to censor things that go on with the internet. They want to be able to control what we can and can't do on the internet yet also try and see what we do while we are using it also. The government is trying to make it to where they are the ones that make it known that they can let us look or be on certain things that they feel they will be able to control easily instead of going through a whole bunch of technology issues when trying to figure out what sites everyone in the country has been on. I feel that if this law is to be passed then no one will really have any privacy whatsoever. The government will know at any time of the day what everyone is doing and what they're on. They'll even know how some people's conversations are depending on how well they end up controlling everything. Our government is trying to get rid of social networks like Facebook because of so many online fighting and bullying. It is said that the government wants to be able to control what is being said and done on the social networks so that if something bad happens they are able to sue someone or people within a second. This is how I feel about how the government is trying to control us and what we do on a day to day basis.

relate to another movie/story

I chose The Giver as my related story for the book Uglies. the reason I chose this book was because it reminds me a lot of the book Uglies, in the Giver the people there are pretty much in a Utopia. They are to follow the rules there and people as well are seperated, the woman are on one side of the city while the men are on another side. Just like when you turn 16 in the uglies you get an operation, well in the giver once you turn a certain age you have to go to this building where they choose your mate and you have to make a child. The girls in the story are really young but when the men are involved they are a much older depending how the girl is. It also reminds me of the giver because Shay runs away because she doesn't want to have the operation done to her she doesn't see any point in it. In the giver there is a boy who runs away because he doesn't like the way things are ran in the city he lives in. But on top of that he had fallen in love with this girl in the other city and its forbidden. He wants to be with her so he ends up running away to try and be with her. So i thought that The Giver was a good choice for choosing a story or movie that relates to the book Uglies.

Story to Song. Katy Perry "part of me"

In this song it talks about how someone or something tries to ruin this girls life, but what she says is that there isn't anything that can ruin her.She talks about how the way she is is a part of her and she's not going to change for anyone. I think this song is perfect for the book because Shay reminds me of the girl in the song, she doesn't want to change not for anyone. She knows that she has some flaws but as she says that's just how she is and she's not going to change. She doesn't see the point in changing herself just to make other people but herself happy with the way she looks. That's why she just ends up running away from Ugly ville so she can be with people like her that didn't go through the surgery. She tells Tally about how she doesn't want to be a fake and pretty much be all plastic. She doesn't see the point in going through all the pain just to be something she's not.She wants to make herself happy and she already loves the way she is, the surgery wouldn't make her happy at all. So this is why I thought that Katy Perry's song "Part of Me" is a good song to go along with the story.

Tally's letter

Dear Ellie and Sol,
I have come to realize that I do not want to tell Special Circumstances anything about Shay, but then again I did make a promise to Peris that I would be next to him soon. So my final decision is to talk to Special Circumstances and tell them what I know about Shay and the whole running away ordeal. The reason i chose to do this is because i have realized that me and Shay have only been friends for a couple months when I made her the promise I wouldn't say anything. But I have friends with Peris for years now, I think I would trust Peris a lot more than Shay about anything. I really don't want to say anything but I DON'T WANT TO BE UGLY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!! :( I want to be able to see you guys and Peris all the time and not just on special occasions.I want you guys to be happy with me and the decisions I make, this is why I have finally had some time to think it over and I want to be pretty more than anything in this world. So I have to, I have to talk to Special Circumstances.

Love your daughter,

Tally <3
