The character in the book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld started out caring about appearance, but later on the overarching theme was revealed to be that appearance doesn’t matter, it’s who you are on the inside that counts. In the very beginning of the book, there is a clear dichotomy between the so called “pretties,” and the “uglies.” The uglies live in uglyville and must attend school, whereas the pretties live in New Pretty Town and can basically party all day.
