What is a metaphor in the book pretties?

Answer 1

The PRETTIES The metaphor in the book PRETTIES is the comparison of her old days as an UGLIE. Tally's quotes "I had big pours and tangled hair, all the imperfections of the surgery to become a transformed PRETTIE". This is a common metaphor in my book used over and over to compare Tally's old life to her brand new PRETTIE life. In Tally's old UGLIE life she wore ratty pants and shirts and didn't fit in with the PRETTIES because of her natural look and her appearance. Now in her new PRETTIE life she has everything she never wanted dressing up for party's almost every night, fitting in with everyone even the people she never liked. Tally thought this was everything she ever wanted everything was perfect until everything went "PERFECTLY WRONG" it was worst then her old days. Her old days had activity, getting messy having LOADS of fun. Tally realizes that her days as an UGLIE is better then the PRETTIE life. Now there is a comparison between her old days and the new days. Brand new settings, WAY different characters but the same person with the same problems. These metaphors are very similar because she believed she had the worst of her times being a UGLIE and couldn't wait for the surgery to be a PRETTIE. But when reality striked her she finally realized the PRETTIE life was way to much for really anyone to handle stress. For example in book one Tally complained about her life being tough when she became a PRETTIE she said the same her life was tough maybe even tougher She realizes it's not easy to run away from your problem's Those examples are similar because she was under stress in each and had a tough time in both lives. I have came to my conclusion that the metaphor of this book is comparing her old days to her new days which are now at this point very similar By: Jaimie Tufford
