Shay told Tally that she has to go and talk to the
Boss first of all. They went to the library where the Boss was. Shay showed
Tally some magazines where “ugly” people appeared. Then Shay went to see if the
Boss was ready to she Tally, meanwhile Tally was about to send the message to
Dr. Cable when Shay returned. A few moments later the Boss appeared and told
Tally that she must work. Then they went to eat Tally told some smokies all
that she had been through to get there. Then they had to go to work. Tally’s
hands where red and sored because all of the hard work she made. She took a
break with David and they went to a tunnel that was made by Rusties to build
the railroads. There, David told Tally something that not many people knew, he
was born there. That night Tally told them more of her adventures and that she
lost her sleeping bag so Shay took her to the trading center so she could trade
some SpagBol for a sleeping bag and a sweater.
Some days had passed and Tally is getting used to the routines at Smoke. One morning Tally and David where on their way to work as usual until David told Tally that the have a gift for her. Gifts weren’t very usual because everything would be traded or repaired. He gave her a pair of gloves he had made when he was about Tally’s age.
At work she had to work with Croy. Croy begun to ask her questions about how she got so many SpagBol if she had being out for nine day and she only had food for two weeks. During lunch Tally and Shay talked. Shay looked upset and she told Tally that she didn’t understand why David gave Tally the gloves instead of her and even though both of them had the same hand size. Also she told Tally that she should tell David about the special someone that gave her the heart necklace. Tally promised that she would tell everything to David.
That night, she ate alone and the whole day she spent cutting trees all by her self. When she finished eating David showed up. Both of them went to talk alone. David told Tally that he was sorry for causing Tally and Shay fight because of the gloves he gave Tally. He also told her that she was the first person to get to Smoke all alone, everyone goes in groups or David helps them get there so he thought Tally was very brave. Tally saw David as a Pretty below the moonlight just for one moment. Then Tally told him that Shay liked him but he told her that he liked Shay but not as much because she wasn’t serious and Tally and because she wasn’t Tally. Tally had to keep her promise so she told David that someone gave her that necklace and that she told that person about Smoke. David wasn’t angry and he told her that that person might or might not show up but he wants Tally to meat his parents.
David and Tally where on his way to meet David’s parents (Az and Maddy) when he told her that they didn’t lived in Smoke because it was too dangerous. When they got to David parent’s house they introduced to Tally and they offered her tea. The four of them where talking when they mentioned Shay and David parents asked David why he never introduced Shay to them. This made Tally think a lot. Also David and his mother argued that if she could trust Tally to tell her the truth. Tally was sitting right next to them and she didn’t knew what they where talking about. At last David convinced his mother to tell Tally the truth about being pretty. Az and Maddy told her that they where doctors and that thy found out that most of the pretties had a lesion in their brains and they thought it was because of the operation. The tested many people and got to the conclusion that pretties had the lesions except if they where firefighter, doctors, politicians or that worked at Special Circumstances. They said that becoming a pretty doesn’t only change the way you look but it also changes the way you think. They also talked about how they became from pretties to uglies again until Tally was feeling tire so they left.
They were heading back to Smoke when they started talking and David told Tally that she was beautiful. Then they got closer and kissed. Then Tally felt the cold of her necklace so she started to run and David followed her. They got to a campfire at Smoke where Tally burned her pendent. She was sure that Special Circumstances would never find them now. David took Tally to her bunkhouse when David tried to kiss her again but she didn’t let him because Shay was just inside. She had to manage a way to tell Shay what happened.
The next morning Tally woke up with the sounds of people running and screaming. She looked out the window and she saw the sky full of hovercars form Special Circumstances that had arrived. She saw all of those hovercars and everything burning. She decided that the only way to scape was by running through the forest. She found herself next to the Boss and they made a plan in which one of them ran and distracted the Special by throwing pepper into her eyes and the other one ran into the forest. Tally didn’t had any shoes on so she was the one that had to go and distract the Special. She started to run but when she was close to the Special she felt and she couldn’t throw the pepper into her eyes but she saw that the Boss was able to reach to the forest. Then the Special picked up the container filled with pepper so she kicked it into her face until she was covered in it. She screamed and Tally had the chance to run. She got to a bush and hide there. Three more Specials appeared trying to look for Tally and the Boss. Tally needed to cough because she had smelled some of the pepper but she tried to hold it but at the end a Special caught her anyways.
He took her to where some of the other Smokies where. Most of them had bruises and where bleeding. There she saw Croy and they talked about the people they saw and didn’t saw. Some moments later Shay was brought in. She blamed Tally that all of this was her fault, first that she stole her boyfriend and then she betrayed the whole Smoke. Then some Specials came and scanned Cory and took him out with other people that where in their city. When they got to Tally they told her that Dr. Cable wanted to talk with her and took her away in front of Shay.

"Nature, at least, didn't need an operation to be beautiful. It just was." (230).
Tally is now realising that there is much more things that are way more beautiful than people after the operation that made them pretties. She now understands that nature is naturally beautiful and it doesn't need to be modified to be beautiful and unique as it is. Nowadays, nature is beautiful too but we are making a lot of harm to the environment and destroying it for example with pollution or deforestation. We should make a change to keep natures beauty for a long time.
But it was if something had changed inside Tally's head, something that had turned his face pretty to her (250).
Tally is now focussing on what is on the inside than what is on the outside. Now that she sees the beauty on David's inside now her outside perspective is also changing. The real beauty is in the inside instead than in the outside like many people think. An ugly personality destroys a pretty face so it doesn't matter if you are "ugly" or beautiful (in my opinion everyone is beautiful), what counts is on the insides. A connection I made was with the Disney move Beauty and the Beast because Bell didn't care about the Beast's appearance but she loved him for what he had inside. 
I just can't put this book down! Something new and interesting happens in each page that I flipped through. I predict that Tally will talk to Dr. Cable and she will explain Tally that by destructing the necklace it automatically send a message to her showing her the location of Smoke. Tally will find a way to help their friends and rebuild Smoke somewhere else's where the city doesn't find them. They will still be mad at Tally but with the time they will become friends again and she will be able to be with David again.
