The feelings I had in Reading “Uglies” were always different. I always had mixed emotions about the book and I always will. The way Tally always fought for her needs while trying not to hurt others amazed me. It left me feeling a bit dazed at how she does put others before herself, but she’ll always still care for herself.
I also felt the hatred Shay started growing for Tally. It made me a little sorrowful for Tally because she can`t control the actions of others. But because of those actions she can`t control, it`s led to Shay hating Tally, and leaving Shay feeling sorry for herself when she should be saying sorry to Tally.
I still feel the awkwardness from the start of the book when Tally visited Peris. It made me upset how Peris’ mind got taken over by the “Pretties”, and became embarrassed, and almost mad, over Tally coming to “The Pretty Mansion”. Also showing the embarrassment and making Tally feel ashamed about herself. This part made my unhappy because Tally’s own best friend made her feel bad about things she can’t control. Peris made Tally feel ashamed of her body and got angry at Tally for risking to not be turned into a pretty, and be banished from the community! Tally risked everything for her best friend, while Peris was furious and wouldn’t ever do the same for his own “best friend”. Some best friend Tally’s got.
Lastly, the feelings I had in reading how David and Tally make each other so happy, made me fill up with hope. It made me fill up with hope and happiness because the relationship they have makes me hope that everybody at some point in their life will have a life long relationship with someone who makes them happy. Everyone deserves a “David and Tally” relationship.
These are all the feelings I had in reading the book “Uglies”. I think everyone should try reading this book, and go through the tornado of emotions that this book causes.
