Lorin Brokaw's Blog About Pretties: Blog Two

I am reading a book called Pretties by Scott Westerfeld. I'm one third of the way done and have two thirds to read. Tally Youngblood, the main character, is a sixteen year old girl who just turned pretty. She wants to forget her past and focus on being pretty, popular, and bubbly, but,  no matter what Tally Youngblood does, her past keeps on coming back to haunt her in unexpected ways. So far this book is really good. It makes you happy that your not perfect because Tally has lots of problems that apparently perfect people have (it took her three hours to come up with a costume that people would think says criminal!). I think the author wrote this because he wants us to be happy with who we are. I also think he wrote this because he wanted us to think about being brave like Tally. The theme of this book is bravery. One of the quotes from my book is: " Tally, you gave yourself up, knowing you'd have to risk the cure. That's amazingly brave." Tally learns how to be brave in this book. She changes by not wanting to take the cure to taking the cure to help herself and pretties all over the world from being brain damaged. I was wondering why David never came to get Tally like he was supposed to? What happened to him? Is he still mad at her even though she tried to make it up to him?
