Tally jumped of the building and landed in the pleasure gardens.Near where she came in. When she was trying to go back home she thought she was caught. Instead it was another ugly named Shay, who was there for the same reason Tally was. They were talking and were a lot alike. Tally was going to teach shay the way she goes home instead of using shays stolen hover board.
We learned that shay is adventurous and daring and finds getting in trouble fun. Shay and Tally are a lot alike to me. and i think they will become really really good friends and Tally will make peris jealous.

The book made it clear that the bungee cords were in case of a fire. but the pretties do it for fun too. i think the pretties do it for the adrenaline and the rush. They seem to enjoy dangerous things and have fun and i cant think of anything crazier than jumping of a building.
History of Bungee: "Bungee has quite an old origin. The idea of this way of jumping comes from the ancient ritual 'Gkol' performed in the Pentecost Island in the Pacific Archipelago of Vanuatu. The legend says that in the village Bunlap a man called Tamalie had a quarrel with his wife and she ran away and climbed a Banyan tree where she wrapped her ankles with liana vines. When Tamalie came up to her, the woman jumped from the tree and so did her husband not knowing what had his wife done. So he died but the woman survived. The men of Bunlap were very impressed by this performance and they began to practise such jumps in case they got in similar situation. This practice transformed into a ritual for rich yam harvest and also for proving manhood.
Modern bungee jumping as we know it today actually started on the 1st of April ( Fools' Day ) 1979 when group of people from the Oxford University Dangerous Sport Club, impressed by a film about 'vine jumpers', jumped from 245-Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. Using nylon braided, rubber shock cord instead of vines, and dressed in their customary top hat and tails, they performed a four man simultaneous jump .The enthysiasts promptly were arrested for this. But at least hit the world press the next day. The new adrenaline mania has been started. The D.S.C. performed many other jumps, including one off the Golden Gate Bridge. In early 1988, A.J. Hackett and Chris Allum, opened the first commercial jump site in Ohakune, New Zealand. Hackett also made a great commercial show in 1987 when he jumped from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
. As part of the site publicity, Hackett performed an astounding bungee jump from the Eiffel Tower! Nowadays there have already been a lot of towers,cranes,bridges and even hot-air balloons serving as platforms for jumping and bungee is the simplest and easily understood of the aerial extreme sports."

characterization of Tally
------------------------
ugly
adventurous
daring
different
-------------------------
Characterization of peris
-------------------------
boring
normal
rude
jerk
I feel that peris and tally are not really Friends. Tally likes him as more and he just doesn't like her anymore. And when and if Tally gets her surgery they will grow apart and stop talking to each other.

Oxymoron-Hanging upside down hands and knees clutching the knots along the rope Tally pulled herself up into the dark frame work of the bridge. Then stole through it's iron skeleton and across to New Pretty Town.

I think tally wore the mask so the pretties couldn't see her face and make fun of her or get her in trouble because she wasn't even supposed to be there.
History Of The Mask: "The wearer is also considered to be in direct association with the spirit force of the mask and is consequently exposed to like personal danger of being affected by it. For his protection, the wearer, like the mask maker, is required to follow certain sanctioned procedures in his use of the mask. In some respects he plays the role of an actor in cooperation or collaboration with the mask. Without his performing dance and posturing routines, which are often accompanied with certain sounds of music, the mask would remain a representation without a full life-force.
The real drama and power of its form is the important contribution of the wearer. When he is attired in the mask, there is a loss of his previous identity and the assuming of a new one. Upon donning the mask, the wearer sometimes undergoes a psychic change and as in a trance assumes the spirit character depicted by the mask.
Usually, however, the wearer skillfully becomes a “partner” of the character he is impersonating, giving to the mask not only an important spark of vitality by the light flashing from his own eyes but also bringing it alive by his movements and poses. But it would seem that the wearer often becomes psychologically completely attached to the character he is helping to create. He loses his own identity and becomes like an automaton, without his own will, which has become subservient to that of the personage of the mask. It appears, however, that at all times there remains some important, even if sub rosa, association between the mask and its wearer."

I've never had a friend abandoned me like peris. A lot of my friends don't move away. when they do i keep up with them using email and my phone. One time my best friend moved to Louisiana for a year and it was really boring with out her. She moved back and we hang out all the time now.

To me beauty is something on the inside more than outside. What is the point on being pretty if you are mean and no one likes you. Beauty is judged by how nice you are and what you do for others. although beauty can be about how preety you are. If every one in the world was beautiful i dont think it would be that diffrent. every one would be the same person and have the same freinds.my mom took this pic when we went to hawaii. I love the ocean and think nature is really pretty, Espeically the ocean i love the blue water and white sand. The other picture is of robert pattinson who i think is really ugly in twilight and newmoon when he played as Edward he looked alot better. but sadly he's not Edward.
