"But you do know about genetics don't you? Sure I know all about genes. I knew two sisters, uglies, who looked almost the same. But parents and children? That's just weird."

To me, this is telling me how so many things have changed with the city. The fact that people do the operation now, totally messes up the genes in people. You really do look like your parents when your born, but it would be what they looked like before they turned pretty. The operation takes that away, so now when Tally is realizing that David and his dad look alike, she is getting the fact that parents and children can look alike if they don't get the operation.

Being Pretty

Being pretty is being like every one else. Not having much difference in your appearance, and not having the same genes you would if you stayed ugly. In the operation, they switch how you look so that means they can change your genes. Isn't that why they say people are all different and we should appreciate that? I like the way I am. And I would probably go to Smoke if there was an operation like that.
