The story I related to the Uglies is the Hunger Games. I chose this book because it is set in the future. It is divided by classes just like the Uglies. As well as the main character being forced to be apart of something she did not want to be in. That is why I chose the Hunger Games to relate to the Uglies.

Breaking the code
Key:
1=a 2=b 3=c 4=d 5=e 6=f 7=g 8=h 9=i 10=j 11=k
12=l 13=m 14=n 15=o 16=p 17=q 18=r 19=s 20=t
21=u 22=v 23=w 24=x 25=y 26=z
Example:
20_25 - 16_18_15_16_19_20 = ty propst
Decode:
12_9_19_20_5_14 - 20_15 - 13_5.
20_8_5 - 19_21_7_5_18_25 - 9_19 - 14_15_20 - 1_19 - 9_20 - 1_16_16_1_5_18_19.

Letter
Dear Ellie and Sol,
After thinking for a very long time, I have finally made my decision. My decision is to tell special circumstances the truth. I have thought long and hard about this, and here are the reasons why. First off there is the main reason, which is that if I don't then I wont be able to become pretty. The next reason is that I made a promise to Peris first and I plan on keeping that promise. Also I wont live a very kind life if i stay ugly my whole life.
Love,
Tally Youngblood aka "Squint"

Song to Story Connection
The song I chose for the story connection is Strawberry Whine by Deana Carter. I chose this song for a couple of reasons. The first, and main reason is because it talks about growing up. It tells about how she was wanting to know more about the way things are. I also feel that this song can tell about the situation with Peris. One part of the song goes: "My biggest fear was September, when he had to go".
This is a good connection in my opinion because in the story, Tally is sad when Peris leaves to become a "Pretty". Also in the song it tells about things changing. This is a connection because through out the story you see how Tally changes as a person. This is why I chose the following song.

Special Circumstances
"Tally felt like a mouse in a cage full of hawks". The cruel pretties seem to make it feel hopeless. As if there was no chance of changing the outcome. They appear very professional. They also appear to be quite strict. Not the kind of people you want to have against you. I imagine them in suites and other professional type outfits.I also notice that they seem to be the back-bone of the city. They are the ones that keep things in order. As for personality, they seem to either be angry or have no emotions at all.
Quote #2
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
I believe it means that beauty is only what each person sees it as. It applies to the Twilight Zone episode because the normals were ugly and the freaks were the beautiful people.
In the Twilight Zone episode the idea of beauty is different than ours.
The idea of norm could be different than that of ours.
In different parts of the world there are different forms of beauty.
