Grace's Blog Post #2 - Page 80
"A second later the bungee jacket activated, and Shay bobbed back up in midair, laughing maniacally at the top of her lungs. Tally waited another moment, watching the uglies' horror dissolve into confusion as Shay bounced again, then righted herself on one of the tables and headed out of the door.
Tally dropped the book and dashed for the stairs, leaping a flight at a time until she reached the back exit of the dorm."
I think that in Uglies, Scott Westerfeld uses really good descriptive language, he shows each scene from the book in perfectly clear pictures like this one, making the book practically a movie in your mind. He also uses figurative laguage. For example, he says "Shay bobbed back up in midair" which is comparing shay to the action of something floating in water. Also in the sentence "watching the uglies' horror dissolve into confusion" he personifies the horror to 'dissolve' into confusion, which isn't possible, but descibes this situation perfectly.
Sorry these are all late, the blogs slipped my mind.
