Elementery, My Dear Watosn!

Heyyyyy guys!

So, I am taking a much needed break from writing my Lit. essay. I guess that's the reason for the title (we read Sherlock Holmes last semester). So, if you want a sucidal play to read, just read Antigone. I won't elaborate, just read it for yourself.

*Ahem* Anyway,

I'm kind of excited. I have one follower! I won't mention the fact that I know her. Ah, but hopefully this blog will grow and blossom in time. *sigh* I can only hope.

Anyho

I picked up a book at Target (yes target! There are actually books at Target! Who woulda thunk!) that my friends Hannah and Jenny have read called Uglies. That book is really interesting. I won't tell you everything about the book, but I will tell some stuff. *BEWARE! SPOILERS AHEAD*---->

It's really interesting how, in the future earth this book is set in, you start out as a littlie, than an ugly (both of these stages you go to school and study how stupid the past earth-dwellers called "rusties"were), then, at 16 (or whatever age the rulers of your town decide), you get this operation (that is kind of like plastic surgury, only to the extreme), and you turn into a "pretty" and you are beautiful with perfect skin, perfect bones, perfect eyes, perfect everything, and you live the rest of your "new pretty"life partying.

Ok, that, in itself, is weird. Is that what America will come to? I shudder at the thought! After turning 16, we turn into some brainless bimbo who partys for a living until we are "middle pretties" and start thinking about working? That is scarey. I would sooo hate that. And, it kindof hearkins back to my preveous entery. The standards for the teen years (or the "new pretty" years in the book) have dropped. So, were expected to "party" during these years of out lives, and not think about working until college or later? That is just sad, not to mention annoying for the few teens who actully want to live differently than that pitiful standard

So, I havn't finished it, so I don't know what the main charicter's inportant decision will be...

Thanks for reading! I gotta run!
