The Uglies author is Scott Westerfeld. He has won many awards like the Aurealis Award, Goodreads Choice and many more. He has made more than 20 books. He has made many squeals to his books. Scott Westerfeld actually got his idea of Uglies form John Christopher book the Tripods. He has written Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras. He has also written Leviathan, Afterworlds, Goliath, Behemoth, and Peeps. Along with those many more.
I think Scott Westerfeld wrote this book because he had a sister-in-law that was suppose to make sure that everything on actors was perfect. She had to make sure the skin was flaws. Her job was to have all the actors be perfect. He states," So I was watching the way that the people on the screen who kids idolize and want to be, are actually- not only are the chosen for being incredibly beautiful, but then they have these visual effects guys go through and fix every imperfection they have." That says the the kids that watch T.V or movies want to be flawless and have to mistake. Scott Westerfeld thought that the movies that made everything perfect about the actors was like plastic surgery. He said," There was a part of the Tripods series, where when you turn 16 you get capped... I pretty much ripped that off from John Christopher in the Uglies."
Okay I really like how you worded everything in the second paragraph. What you said in the second paragraph I did not know so it made reading it fun. When you added T.V all I could think about was when Selena Gomez played Alex and I'm like Alex ha, I want to say you did that on purpose but that would be silly.
