Rachel Z's blog post #5 pg. 406
"“What are you two…?” The warden's voice stumbled. Didn't this beat everything? A pretty and an ugly taking a stroll together. The Warden came closer, confusion all over his middle-pretty face.
Tally smiled. At least she was causing trouble to the end. “I'm Tally Youngblood,” she said. “Make me pretty.”
…......….....……… This is the last page of Uglies and it ends at a cliffhanger ending. It ends with the telling of her betrayal & still with the futuristic setting.

Blog post #4 pg. 250-251
"“I found that there were complications from the anesthetic used in the operation. Tiny lesions in the brain. Barely visible, even with the best machines.”
Tally decided to take a risk sounding stupid. “What's a lesion?”
“Basically it's a bunch of cells that don't look right,” Az said, “Like a wound or a cancer or just something that doesn't belong there.”
“But you couldn't just say that,” David said. He rolled his eyes toward Tally. “Doctors.”
Maddy ignored her son. “When Az showed me his results, I started investigating. The local committee had millions of scans in it's database. Not the stuff they put in medical textbooks, but raw data from pretties all over the world. The lesions turned up everywhere.”
…….............…………................…………........ Maddie obliged him, then continued. “Most importantly, almost everyone all over the world had these lesions. If they were a health hazard, 99% of the population would show some kind of symptoms.” “But they weren't natural?” Tally asked. “No. Only post ops - pretties, I mean – had them,” Az said. "No uglies did. They were definitely a result of the operation. "
This section of the book shows how the people that lived in new Petty town are changed to make them pretty and they change more than just their looks they change the way they act… This part says that the people that become pretty also become brainwashed by the “specials” & don't even know it. It also shows that this author is writing this story in a futuristic setting, again, because that would not be allowed right even if we could do that.
