Tally has finaly come clean. Do you think she will regrate it? Do you think david will change his mind about her?
No she will not regrate it because if she had not come clean matty would have told them and they would hate her for keeping it secret. But no david will not change his mind about Tally he will just say "Tally your amazing for saying that to the people you love." and get all lovey-dovey with her.

should matty have forced shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?
No because if she died or something went wrong she would have to like with that for her entire life and regrated it.

respond to the following quote from the chapter... what does it mean to you?
"Tally thought of the lesions in shay's brain. the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she did not even know she had. They were there somewhere changing her friends thoughts.warping her feeling, gnawing at the roots of who she was."
it means to me that tally is not talking to shay but a slightly different image of her friend.

They describe us as stupid for tampuring with the enviorment and depending on oil for almost every thing.

find information about a time we werent prepered. post it and cite it.
On August 20th, the earth began to rumble and crack, and the usually calm sea gave way to giant waves. Horses, cattle and birds became uneasy and restless, as if they could foresee the disaster that awaited the town. Finally, on the morning of August 24th, 79 A. D. the volcano burst open with an earsplitting crack. Smoke, mud, flames and burning stones spewed from the summit of the mountain, sending a rain of ash and rock through the surrounding countryside. The mud seeped down the sides of Vesuvius, swallowing nearby farms, orchards and villas. Adding to the destruction were the mephitic vapors that accompanied the falling debris; the fumes first caused deliriousness in their victims, then suffocated them.
Some people of Pompeii grabbed their beasts of burden and attempted to flee the area; others perhaps chose to wait until the streets were clear of the panicked masses; still others sealed themselves up in rooms, supposing that the ashes and poisonous gasses would not harm them there. The unfortunate people who could not escape in time to avoid disaster were killed by falling buildings, overcome by the mephitic gas, or simply buried by the rapidly falling ash. Their bodies were quickly covered by the volcano's mineral deposits, which covered Pompeii in a layer more than 30 feet thick.
Over the years, the memory of Pompeii and the surrounding cities faded into a vague legend about the lost treasure of la Citta ("the City"). Interest in recovery of the ancient sites did not return until the fourteenth century

Tally had changed her mind on the smoke and the operation, but what will she do about all that now? whose side is she on?

I think to me that tally might try to save peris and try to turn him back. to the story it means that ta;;y might have to save people from getting the operation

Two fights were presented in this chapter. Compare and contrast both of them. list similarities and differences. Why did each fight take place? What was the outcome of each one?
One of the fights was fake while the other was real. Both involved Tally and Shay. One was a prank and the other was about the operation and David. The second fight toke place because Tally was saying she was ugly but Shay thought she was beautiful. In the first fight the outcome was that Tally "won" and they both tricked the kids in to thinking it was a fight. The second Tally and Shay were angry with each other so Shay ran away and Tally staid behind.

Find information on white river rafting and post it here, along with website URL.
It is interesting to note that whitewater rafting was one of the earliest forms of transportation. It was not only used for carrying people but also for transferring goods from one place to another. However, it became quite popular as a form of leisure activity in the 1980s.
In 1811, the first recorded attempt to navigate the Snake River in Wyoming was planned by the Overland Astorians. While attempting to boat the stretch below Jackson Hole, the river was found to be too treacherous and it came to be called ?Mad River.?
The rubber river raft is believed to have been invented in the early 1840s. It was first made by Lt. John Fremont, who was then serving in the U.S army and Horace H. Day. They invented the rubber raft with the intention of surveying the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Although the raft was invented in the mid-nineteenth century, it was not until the turn of the century that the first ever commercial whitewater trip was undertaken. At first, surplus military rafts were used as boats and it was only much later that inflatable rafts were used.
Private companies played a major role in augmenting the rafting business. In 1956, one of the members of the most affluent business families of America, John D. Rockefeller built a resort that introduced one of the first floating trips in the country. However, it only evoked a lukewarm response. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, exclusive whitewater rafting companies were formed. These include the Becker-Cooke Expeditions, Hatch River Expeditions and Slickrock Adventures.
Rafting was first included in the Munich Olympic Games, 1972. Subsequently, it was included in the 1992 Barcelona Games and the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1996, the Ocoee River in Tennessee Valley played host to the whitewater events of the Summer Olympic Games.

Reflect on the following quotes what does each one mean to you?
"making ourselves feel ugly is not fun"..."This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves." This quote to me means that the city wants you to get what everyone else has and makes you feel ugly so you get the operation.
"Everyone judged everyone else on their appearance.people who were taller got better jobs...People killed each other on stuff like skin color."(referring to when people were ugly) This quote means to me that they learn a lot about the rusties and how they lived and how some were racist.
"It's the only way to make people equal"(becoming pretty)Its saying that if you make everyone look almost or completely alike no one will hate or judge each other.
