Characterization of Mr.Westerfeld

In the book Pretties, Mr.Westerfeld obviously shows that Tally is the main character in the book. However, I think that Tally is both protagonist and antagonist. He clearly describes the view of the scenes in the book. Sometimes, when you mentally draw it in your head, you will figure out that how easy it is to know what is going on in the book.

On page 201, Mr.Westerfeld wrote a quote that said "And I'm not helping you either!' from Tally, which certainly describes that oTally cares about herself and Zane, her friend. In that part Zane and Tally had handcuffs on and they were trying to crush them off with a crusher in order to escape the city. But it was too dangerous and risky, so Tally had to stop him from the possible major injury on Zane's hand from the crusher which in reality, could actually liquifact the bone. This shows that Tally actually cares to other characters.

On page 184, Mr.Weterfeld wrote a quote that said 'Thats Tally Younglood' from 2 pretties who were in the hospital with Tally. Here Mr.Westerfeld shows that Tally is famous among the people between Uglies, Pretties and not to mention Specials. She got famous by her ultimate and super dangerous tricks that she used to pull up in Ugly days, and didn't get captured by Specials. This quote also explains that she is very smart, getting not seen by Specials, who detects everything that is going on in the city. Mr.Westerfeld did a great job expressing characters through their attributes.

On page 134, the author Scott Westerfeld wrote a quote that said "What, are you fashion-missing? Everybody does this" from Tally to Dr.Cable, Tally's worst fear. Here Mr.Westerfeld shows besides the popularity and a smart brain, Tally has shown her most feared character. To explain Dr.Cable, she is in charge of the specials, who have inhuman power, speed and reflexes through the operation they take. Their faces look beautiful, but cruelly beautiful as if a very pretty person half transformed into a werewolf. Anyways, at that part, Tally had a handcuff on which could be a big trouble if detected to Dr.Cable, so she lied and told her it was fashion. Here Mr.Westerfeld explains that Tally is nervous and scared by Dr.Cable. Another good description of Tally's characterization by Mr.Westerfeld.

Tally Youngblood is a very unexpectable and intelligent character and Mr.Westerfeld does a very good job of expressing it. Mr.Westerfeld is on one of my favorite authors list, and I will certaily keep reading his work. Keep up the good work Mr.Westerfeld!
