A Bubbly Injustice

There are many injustices that the author brings to light, but one main one is the issue beauty. In this book all Uglies are practically trained to think of themselves as Uglie. They all know their own flaws and even have a nickname for their flaws. Then they look up to the Pretties who are flawless and they all can't wait to be a Pretty because they feel so self-conscious about themselves. The main character, Tally was no exception. However then she met her new friend Shay. She was one of the few Uglies who the media could not reach and she still saw the beauty in a natural face. She realized that Uglies were not actually ugly, it was just a plot by the government to convince people to take the operation. This issue even carries over to our own society, where everyone has a set image in their brains of what beautiful looks like, and this image will almost always stay the same throughout their lives. This image is put in place by the media. Everyone is expected to look like this,

but really, this woman looks like this,

Realistically that isn't even that bad! However everyone in society is trained to believe that there no such thing as an average person being beautiful. This issue is brought to light by the author very well.
