"Confessions"

Tally has finally come clean. Do you think she will regret it? Do you think David will change his mind on her?

"Hippocratic Oath"

Should Maddy have forced Shay to take the "cure?" Why or why not?

Yes because she never wanted to be pretty in the 1st place. Plus Tally came all this way to rescue Shay but she couldn't now. Now it's too late.

"Get away"

Respond to the following quote from the chapter... what does it mean to you? "Tally thought of the lesions on Shay's brain, the tiny cancers or wounds or whatever they are that she didn't even know she had. They were in there somewhere changing her friend's thoughts, warping her feelings, gnawing at the roots of who she was."

The brainwash in Shay's head is kicking in and she doesn't like it. I think Tally should wack her in the head so they can get out.

"Inside"

Is this quote a play on words, or does it have adeeper meaning to the story?
"Radiology. Neurology. Magnetic Imaging," she read softly. "Operating Theathre Two."


It is deeper because those are the rooms they were reading when they were looking for the Smokies.

Morgue- dead people
Interrogation room 1&2- where they try to scare people to tell the truth.
Disorientation Room- to confuse people's mind

"She was tall and elegant, every feature perfection."
