What is the conflict in the book pretties by scot westerfield?

Answer 1

The conflict in the book PRETTIES is people vs.government and technology. Tally and her two friends Zane and Shay were determined to find who or what the government has been doing to the pretties to upgrade them and why. For example Tally finds the letter that the government and Zane hid from the PRETTIES to find that everyones health may be at risk. This conflict with the government and technology reminds me of the movie Lemony Snicket The Series Of Unfortunate Events because there are hidden secrets and take it one step at a time to uncover the secret of the Baudelaire's family and friends and finally after everything they take different risks to reach there final answer of the secret. The reason why I related these movie/ books is because they had the same stages of difficulty but each time reaching the same goal by taking it one step at a time and finding there answer. Lemony Snicket and PRETTIES both have you thinking what will happen next where are will this take them. For example in Lemony Snicket the children travel from Count Olaf's mansion to they're "aunts" and Count Olaf finds them again and in the PRETTIES Tally, Shay and Zane travel thought epidemics and get caught each try and every plane. This story is people vs. government and technology because Tally, Shay and Zane find out how the government has been using the technology to turn UGLIES into PRETTIES which affect PRETTIES health. These are my connections and why I know this is a people vs. government and technology. By: Jaimie Tufford
