In this chapter a few uglies go to New Pretty Town to do a "trick." They make the words " THE SMOKE LIVES" with sparklers. If you had one chance to post a message important to you, what would it be and why?

Beauty is more of a mental stand point than a physical stand point because someone could think something is beautiful in their own mind and another person think the same thing is absoulutely hideous.If everyone on earth was beautiful everyone would in the same sense would be ugly.
