How did you feel about the language that the characters used, especially the slang that gets tossed around?.Do you think that we're the Rusties, the civilization that collapsed because it relied too much on oil? In what ways are we (in the US) like the Rusties? If we are the Rusties, does that change your opinion of the history we hear about how the Rusty civilization ended?. If you had the chance to be made pretty, would you take it? What if everyone was being turned pretty-would you still want (or not want) to be made pretty?.This is the billion-dollar question: before Tally and Shay go to the Smoke (and learn about the brain lesions), who do you agree with? Do you think the world would be better if everyone were pretty (like Tally argues)? Or do you think that this sort of surgery is dangerous to identity (like Shay argues)? Did you ever agree with both of them? Or neither?.
