Jimmy Kimmel Link and Uglies Quote

Here's my quote from The Uglies: "Tally walked along the riverbank, searching for a good place to leap in, slowly gathering her courage. She realized she'd never been naked outside before. In the city, everywhere outdoors was public, but she hadn't seen another human face for days. The world seemed to belong to her. Even in the cool air, the sun felt wonderful on her skin" (162).


I think it brings up ideas about mental transformations, and the ability to see your own situation more clearly when in a different environment. When a person is removed from a familiar situation, I think he or she learns more about him or herself. It brings up this idea of personal journeys similar to Paama's and the Indigo Lord's in Redemption in Indigo.


Here's the clip of Jimmy Kimmel's "Miracle diet":  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YoKoKI_2NlQ
