Why would it had been easier for Tally to activate the pendant when she got to the smoke?
It would have been easier because she was there for a long time now and everyone trusts her but if she did it right away then she woulnt feel so guilty.

If Davids parents were doctors, why did they run away?
because when they turn the uglies into pretties, they mess with their brain and thought it was wrong so they ran away . Allthough they are pretties the doctors didnt mess with their brains because they were doctors.

In this chapter Tally says, "I kind of like being fooled about some things ."Do you agree with Tally,or would you rather know the reality behind everything?Why?
No, I would rather know the reality behind everything because I would rather know the truth then a stupid lie.
It is interesting to note that whitewater rafting was one of the earliest forms of transportation. It was not only used for carrying people but also for transferring goods from one place to another. However it became quite popular as a form of leisure activity in the 1980's.

Describe the rusty ruins.What are they?What happened during this time period?
It's an old town that is covered with rusty medal
Shay and Tally rode on a roller coaster. Before they left Shay made Tally wait with her for a guy named David.
Define peer pressure. Think of a time when it happened to you .
Peer pressure is when someone offers you to do something bad and they keep trying to talk you into it but your not sure if you want to do that thing or not.
A time when i went into pure pressure was a long time ago I had a friend who smoked but i didn't know until one day i went to her house and she was smoking and tried to get me to smoke but i didn't and now I'm not friends with her anymore.

Find and quote ONE oxymoron from the chapter.
Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed "white tie"?
So the pretties didn't know she was one of the uglies.
Find information about the history of masks. How does this relate to Tally's desision?
Masks have been designed in innumerable varieties, from the simplest of crude “false faces” held by a handle to complete head coverings with ingenious movable parts and hidden faces. Mask makers have shown great resourcefulness in selecting and combining available materials. Among the substances utilized are woods, metals, shells, fibers, ivory, clay, horn, stone, feathers, leather, furs, paper, cloth, and corn husks. Surface treatments have ranged from rugged simplicity to intricate carving and from polished woods and mosaics to gaudy adornments.
It say's they are to cover your face.
