Dystopia/Utopia

Dystopia- a community or society, usually fictional, that is in some important way undesirable or frightening.

The book "Uglies" is a dystopia for many reasons. First off, it is a controled society.
They don't have have much choice in what they become. The citizens are made to a set standard at the age of teen. Another reason is that the higher ups decide on what the future of every person is. It greatly resembles that of a communist society.

Utopia-  a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities.


When I think of what my utopia would be I think of quiet a few things. My utopia would be very in touch with nature. It would be a calm and quiet place. In my utopia people would learn to not judge each other. Every person would accept each other and not fight over differences. The cities would be kind to the enviorment with little to no pollution.

Imagery










As I gazed upon the green mountains. The scent of the open air filled my lungs with a sense of calm. I could not believe that such a place could ever exist. It was an amazing sight, to see a place that seemed so in touch with nature. The sky was more clear than I could ever imagine. I began to walk through and I was astonished by how quiet it was. I felt as though I belonged here and that I could be apart of it. Maybe I was wrong about this place, it seem to be as beautiful as one could ever imagine.

Interior Design

















When Tally first went to the Smoke she was shown the library. "The familiar smell of dusty books overwhelmed Tally at the library door, and as she looked around, she realized that books were pretty much all the library had."

Comic Strip

The scene I chose was when Shay takes Tally to go see the "Boss". I believe this is a important scene for many reasons. The first reason is that it is when Tally is first introduced to the smoke. It is also when the book tells that the smoke is more than just some group of people, but a civilization all its own. Another thing in this scene is that it is the first time Tally sees an old ugly. This is also when Tally sees a rusty model for the first time. Which makes her worry that Shay will get the "eating disease". Finally, this part of the story is when           Tally sees the rusty library and realizes there is more to the smoke than what she originally thought.
