The main character of the novel I am current reading is called Tally. The three characteristics that best describe her are:
- Unfaithful
Synonyms: disloyal, dishonest
Antonyms: faithful, loyal
"She could hardly sit here enjoying the Smokies' admiration if she'd just betrayed them all."
Tally has made a promise to her friend Shay that she would never tell anybody where her friend was running away to. Tally breaks her promise to become beautiful for god. However, the exposure of Shay's secret, put hers the life of tuns of peoples in risk.
- Brave
Synonyms: courageous, fearless
Antonyms: fearful, afraid
"The wild around her seemed so much larger, the churning river full of power, the forest huge with the secrets hidden in its black depths. She allowed herself a long stare at the city lights before she stepped onto shore, wondering when she would see her home again."
Tally had to travel trough a scaring and empty forest all by herself to achieve her objective. Even tough she was going to betray her friend, Tally faced her fears to get what she wanted.
- Innocent
Synonyms: immature, childish
Antonyms: mature, wise
"Like a mirror, but in close-up, it showed Tally as she looked right now: puffy eyed and disheveled, exhaustion and red stratches marking her face, her hair sticking out in all directions, and her expression turning horrified as she beheld her own appearance.
- That's you Tally. Forever.
- Turn it off...
- Decide.
-Okay, I'll do it. Turn it off."
She made a decision under pressure that putted the lives of lots of people in risk just because she wanted to pass trough a surgery to become beautiful. What in my opinion, doesn't really matter on someone's life.
I noticed in this blog post, that in your citation of the book "Uglies", that you didn't Italic the title. I suggest you fix that. Another suggestion I have is to add a photo of the book, so the reader isn't just reading text. Other than that, the post was great! The three characterstics were good ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rebekah on the three characteristics they arent the first three people would think of thats why they go good with your story.
ReplyDeleteI like this post, It seems this book is very interesting, and those characteristics seem different from a lot of other main characters in books, which I find makes it interesting. I also like the setup, nice job!
