Pretties, by Scott Westerfeld is the second book in his series "Uglies." I the first book, the main character Tally was an ugly, or to us, a normal person. But in the second book, she was turned pretty in order to test the cure, which takes out the lesions put into her brain during the operation. However, when Tally finally escaped the city of Pretties, to go back to the Smokies who invented the cure, she had to choose between two boys when a tracking signal went off. The result of her choice made me realize that if you ever have to pick one or another, you should choose the person who believes in you.
I think this because Tally chose Zane, her boyfriend from New Pretty Town. The tracker device was in his tooth and couldn't be removed. The Smokies insisted that they would have to abandon Zane in order to escape the Specials, who would end the Smokies and turn them into dumb Pretties. Tally had to choose between going with the Smokies and David, her boyfriend from the Smoke, or stay and be captured with Zane. However, when she said she would stay with Zane, David accused her of doing so just because he was Pretty. David didn't believe in Tally's real reason (that she loved Zane), which made Tally's decision easier. She knew that Zane would support her every move, unlike David. I would have also chosen Zane. I believe now that you should be with the people who believe in you the most. What kind of relationship doesn't have mutual support? In conclusion, I think that the best people are those who believe in and support you.
