David's parents reveal a secret about the operation that makes the Uglies become Pretties.  What shocking news did they reveal to Tally?  Why did the Specials want the Pretties to be different from the Rusties?  On page 285, Tally finally tosses the pendant into the fire?  What does this action symbolize?  Why has she changed her mind?

  1. Davics parents reveal that the operation does not only change the way you look but also the way you think. The specials wanted the pretties to be diffrent from the rusties because if everyone was the same and looked the same then there would be no conflicts. Throwing the pendent into the fire symblizes that she made her decision to keep staying at the smoke and never become a preety. She changed her mind because becoming preety alters your mind, all the people in the smoke are allowed to think freely.

  2. David's parents reveal that the operation inserts something inside of your head that changes the way you think. They want the pretties different from the rusties because they think when your ugly there is a fight for who looks better, when your pretty everyone is equal and theres no conflict. She changed her mind about turning the Smokies in because she realizes that this is there home and this is how they like it. Plus, making them all turn pretty would mean changing the way they think and act.
