UGLIES- ENV

Sean Young (Environment)

       The society has the girls ages 12-16 living in a confined society where they must all share and sleep together. They are forced by the expectations of society to live there; this is said to be called the UGLIES place of living. All girls must sleep here and stay in the community until there surgery day. This seems to be on the opposite side of what Tally and her friend are acting on. Her open minded quality and her abandoning best friend push their limits while apart of society. Throughout the chapter Tally goes through obstacles not keeping her from giving  up on what she believes is right.

As the government can sometimes enforce strict rules, most could imply demanding society to live in a certain environment because of a different view; can be subject to problems. As seen through “Going anywhere else was pure torture…The uglies in her own dorm treated her like a walking disease” (p.120) This quote shows the hard times girls living their face. In the book the reader sees it could get chaotic with all the girls and their anxiety to be pretty builds up. Without a doubt Tally’s society has her environment at a disadvantage until the age 16. So until the Tally has the problems of her friend and also hers.
