I chose to write this article in a reporter in the book's world. This reporter had already been turned pretty and had the same shallow state of mind. I tried to make the reporter sound as shallow as the media sounds now! The reporter twists the actual story to make it seem that Tally ran away at her own free will, then turned herself and the others in by her own free will as well. however it was quite the opposite. The Specials had forced her to find the Smoke and she accidentally brought the Specials to the Smoke. The reporter glorified being pretty and made it seem like being Ugly was the worst thing in the world, much like our media today!
This article gives a view from the other side of the spectrum, the "Pretty Side". The whole report is told by a pretty who doesn't really know what's going on, however the actual story "Uglies" is told by Uglies who have mostly been Ugly their entire life and they all want to know where they truly fit in. I found it very interesting to write as the opposite or maybe even the antagonist as it opened a whole new dimension to the novel.
