Uglies

     "The old bridge stretched massively across the water, its huge iron frame as black as the sky. It had been built so long ago that it held up its own weight, without any support from hoverstruts. A million years from now, when the rest of the city had crumbled, the bridge would probably remain like a fossilized bone (Westerfeld,5)."
   In this passage, we are seeing and getting feedback of what Tally sees which is this bridge seperating two towns. This bridge reminds me of the bridge that divides Kentucky and Cincinnati. Think of when you go to a Reds game, and your walking downtown after it ended with the cool air brushing your face and the sky so dark all you can see are the outlines of objects. You look over to the river and see the bridge, arched over the river leading its way into Kentucky. This is exactly how Tally is feeling and what she is seeing.
   "The water glistened through the trees, and she could hear the wavelets of a passing river skimmer's wake slapping at the shores. She ducked, hiding in the reeds. Summer was always the best time for spying expeditions. The grass was high, it was never cold, and you didn't have to stay awake through school the next day(Westerfeld, 4-5)."
    Tally is overlooking this lake and paying close attention to every little detail happening near it. Did you ever go down by the river to throw rocks and try to get them to skip down the river? Or even just stand there looking at the water glistening as the sun hits it? This is what this scene reminds me of with the tall grass, and the glistening water.
