"Face it Tally-wa, you're special"

They’re eating his brain. Those damn pills are eating Zane’s brain! Those two pills were meant to be taken together. One of them had the nanos that ate up the lesions, while the other one killed the nanos before they could eat the rest of the brain. But no, Zane and I were stupid enough to take one each.

And it was all because I was too much of a coward to take them myself.

So Zane was cured, over cured maybe, but cured. That leaves me though. The pills didn’t cure me; Maddie says that I cured myself. We’re not sure how, but I did.

There’s really no reason for me to be worrying about his brain right now though, because we’re back in New Pretty Town. At least, I think that’s where we are. Special Circumstances found the Smoke again. They put a tracker in Zane’s tooth, and he didn’t even know. Somehow, I managed to lead Special Circumstances right to the Smoke once again.

Most of the others escaped, including David. I had to yell at him though. I told him to get his ugly face out of here, and I know that it cut him deep. I don’t he’ll ever forgive me. But I did it for him. I was trying to protect him.

And Shay, let us not forget Shay-la. She did it. She managed to get herself cured. She became a Special. She can think clearly now. She’s beyond bubbly.

Total tally on my friends: Peris a pretty- head forever, Andrew still awaiting my return, David hurt beyond repair, and Shay is my enemy. Friends, it’s a tacky and age old saying, but it stands true. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em.

Zane is safe, I think. But now…

I am Special.

Great Job! ur background on a scale 1-10 i give it a 6. Good imagery though, very nice. Good job explaining the tone of the character.

I had read Pretties and I can tell you know the book pretty well. As Tally Youngblood you had described her thoughts and feelings very clear. I believe that you know the events taken place in the Smokes and New Pretty Town. I had also noticed you only posted important events of the book which is great thing to do!

Awesome work...I know you really know Tally Youngblood's perspective

Josie said...

Marisa is right. You really got into the tone of the character. One thing that I really noticed was the recurring theme of friendship. I was impressed by the way you showed Tally changing through her relationships. Very clear, and interesting blog.

You definetly point out some reoccuring conflicts in the book. You also had good voice. Maybe I little more imagery could have made your blog more interesting. Overall this blog was great!

Sweetness! You did a good job of making your blog interesting. You used a lot of voice which is great! Good job!

Tally Youngblood said...

Parts of it were uncomfortable to read, just because of a few grammar mistakes. However, you got into character well and I could tell that you read the book thoroughly and understood how Tally changed. I do think that you could have personalized the background more, but good job on what you did overall.

Your voice is very clear and I guess there could have more imagery. You could have used more facts or describe some parts. This is a really good blog and I could tell you have read the book, you understand Tally really well. I hope you get a good grade :]

I thought you did a okay job with showing Tally's character. You could have given a little more feeling or emotion to it but it was pretty good. Althouh I really liked how you talked about all the friends and what was going on with them, it made it seem more realistic that you read the book.

jahsana said...

I read all 4 books and you seem to be very well on task with it. you took the meaning book with a firm grasp and exerted it into your writing. i really like the way you interweave Tally's thoughts with everything that is still going on, everyone else's i read either did one or the other

very good job :)

Marisa said...

You could've added a few more finishing touches to the layout to make it even cooler, but the blog itself was great. You explained the situations very well. Everything flowed and made sense. More imagery and descriptive words to give us an even clearer picture would've been better. Good job. You read. I can tell that you know what you're talking about.

at first i wasn't sur i would like this blog just because of the title, Friendships Cruel Twists. i guess it goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover because after i read it i liked your page a lot.
