Blog Post #26- "The Model"

What do you think about Shay's description of a model? 
"Kind of like a professional pretty.  I guess when everyone else is ugly, being pretty is sort of, like, your job."  I think that for someone who didn't live in our time, that could be an accurate description of a model.  When you think about it, models are payed for being striking beautiful, and not everyone is. Shay has hit the nail on the head.

Shay and Tally have a skewed view of our time, but what have they got right?
When they talk about how they learned in school about girls who would starve themselves to look pretty or to fit in, they think that is ridiculous.  They don't understand the pressure that girls in our time felt because Tally and Shay will get a chance to erase all things about them they don't like and be undeniably pretty no matter what.
