I am reading the book called " Uglies ". The author is Scott Westernfeld. In the chapter I have read called " Best friends forever ", one of the main characters named Tally Youngblood is an ugly. She lives in Uglyville and her best friend has turned pretty because he's 16. In the book, when you turn 16 they give you an operation that makes you look better and they let you party. They had no rules. Tally's friend Peris is a pretty and in 3 months she will turn pretty. Her and Peris were really close, but Tally has been lonely since the operation.
Everything is now high tech in this book. Tally knows how to trick the room. She put a Tally sized heater in her room and went out the window. She snuck over the bridge to New Pretty Town and searched one of the mansion's wearing a piggy mask. When she had found Peris, she was amazed on how pretty he looked. She only went there to make sure that they were still best friends forever. She asked him why she didn't write anymore, he didn't because it wasn't like him anymore. By the end of the chapter she escaped by grabbing a bungee cord and pulling the fire alarm. Everyone freaked.
If I were Tally, I wouldn't have even gone to New Pretty Town. I would have waited the 3 months. But Tally felt lonely, and I get that. Lonliness is very hard to fight.

Toronto Field Trip
Dear Journal,
On Wednesday November 3rd, the grades 7 and 8 went on a trip to Toronto. It was a lot of fun, especially when we went to the Eaton Centre.
When we boarded on the train it was 6:30 am! The train ride was at least 3 and a half hours long, so a lot of people went to sleep. There was A LOT of stops before we got to Toronto. When we arrived in Toronto, we started our journey to the "Hockey hall of fame" and walked around for about an hour. A lot of people got a picture with the Stanley cup. Shelby and I did. Then after we were done the Hockey hall of fame, we ate at some tables.
After that we walked to the wicked theatre. There was no outside food or electronics aloud inside. So we get to our seats and were way up at the TOP! The Wicked cast looked so tiny when I watched. My favourite song was " Defying Gravity" sang by Elphaba the witch. But she was innocent which was a weird twist, in the Wizard of Oz, she's evil. But people made this up, she was really caring. After a while it looked like a movie screen, but it was all live.
When the play was done, I think EVERYBODY was hungry, so we walked to the Eaton Centre for some food. My group voted on McDonald's, so we got McDonald's.
When we got done eating, we went to go do some browsing. First we went into American Eagle, then we went to HMV. After we walked all around, going into the Disney store and just looking around. We walked out of the Eaton Centre and into some sport shop. I saw some AMAZING high tops! But we only had 7 minutes so we just browsed. Then the 7 and 8's met infront of the Eaton Centre, and headed back to the train station. We boarded back on the train and waited to get back to Chatham.
I will never forget that day.... when we went to Toronto.
Sincerely,
Nikita
