If you were Tally, would you ask the Warden to make you pretty? Well, yes I would, if I was already stuck with the plan. It would be much faster than going back to the dorm. It probably made it so much easier and so much faster than the alternative. I would just want to get it over with.

I don't think Tally will regret it. She should be happy that she has finally told him the truth, and if he doesn't like her for it, then that's fair because she did something horrible. I don't think David will change his mind about her though. He knows that she didn't mean to do it.

Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the cure? Why or why not?

Yes of course she should have! Who cares if they think you are just as bad as Dr. Cable? As long as you're doing the right thing, why does it matter? She should have given it to Shay. I think she just wanted Tally to go to New Pretty Town.

If you were Shay, would you get the cure? Why or why not?

Well of course I would want to, but I know I would probably act just like Shay because they would have changed my mind for me. Right now I'm saying heck yes, and Shay would be saying the same if she was still ugly. Really, if I was pretty, it wouldn't really be my choice, it would be the lesions' choice to whether or not I would get the cure. And the lesions choice would definitely not be to get rid of itself.

"Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friends thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."

This means that Tally misses her friend, no matter how mad she was at her, Tally missed her. She couldn't believe what had happened to Shay. It was all wrong. The real Shay would never think like that. And it was all Tally's fault. The only thing Tally could do was hope that Maddy had come up with a cure for the lesions.

Chronological Order of "Rescue"

1. Shay is already pretty.

2. David knocks out Dr. Cable.

3. Tally argues with Shay.

4. They unlock the Smokies.

5. Shay delays Dr. Cable's callers.

6. Everyone goes to the roof.

7. David's mom tells David that Az is dead. (That's the kicker.)

The quote, "Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly."Operating Theatre Two." is a play on words, but it does have a deeper meaning because these words have to do with the operation. Neurology is the study of the brain, and that shows that Tally is kidding about the operation and the room names because they mess with your brain.

Tally and David find rooms called the Interrogation Room 1 & 2 which are probably used to get information out of people. Isolation Room 1 is probably a room to keep people away from each other so that they can't make up a story. Disorientation Room 1 is probably a room to make you forget your old life, and the Morgue is probably where they keep dead bodies.

Shay was a pretty at the end of the chapter. Pg. 338 "She was tall and elegant, every feature perfection." Pg.338 "Her eyes-deep and soulful, flecked with copper and gold- widened with a troubled look."
