The novel “Uglies” written by Scott Westerfeld is reminiscent of the novel “The Lord of Flies”. The novel “Uglies” depicts the attempt to build a Utopia of perfect-looking people, but some rebel. Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there. But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world -- and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
  This is similar with that of the “The Lord of Flies”. The novel also aims at comparing the Utopia on the island with the innate behavior of the children. The children are usually the representatives of order, purity but they have indulged into barbarism on the isolated island. The children are the rebels of the Utopia. At the very beginning of the novel, all the scenery on the island seems to be so beautiful and the children are free to enjoy. In the novel, the boys first find themselves in a tropical paradise: bananas, coconuts, and other fruits which are profusely available. The sea proffers crabs and fish in tidal pools all serve as great fun for the boys. However, the contemporary peace is broken by the children themselves. The split into two groups which symbolizing civilization and barbarism. The group of Jack is obsessed with the excitement of killing and Jack is passionate with the leader role. Jack’s choice of hunting, killing has finally led to the death of one of his friends. But he is not regretful and shameful for his choice. He regards his behavior as a kind of triumph. He pretends to behave as the adults. The strong desire of control is similar with the intense desire of Tally. Both of them have firm conviction but they have chosen the unreasonable and incorrect way to satisfy their desire. And the Ralph is similar with Shay. They both firmly stick to the rules and morality in the society. They have the ability to control the inner impulse to avoid going astray. Jack has become the person who has gratified his inner impulse by killing one of his friends. The tragedy in Jack is the same with the tragedy in Tally. Jack and Tally are both the victims of the distorted world value held by them. They both suffer the mental torture in the pursuit of the inner irresistible desire. They both become the victims of their choice. They are unable to conquer the vicious and immoral call in the inner heart. They have connived the unreasonable and invalid call 
  Besides, the similarity also resides in the images, the protagonists all are children. Indeed, the value held by the children will mould a different personal world. Jack and Tally holds the view that they can obtain what they want most by short-circuits which are unavailable from the adult. For Tally, she is eager to become pretty to enter a paradise instantly. The inner call is so intense that she is unable to resist. For Jack, he is eager to enjoy the pleasure of being a leader and doing what he wants at will without the social constraints. The choice of the special image by the author is consistent. The image of the children can achieve better effect in emphasizing what the author wants to expose. 
  The novel makes the readers to contemplate the serious issue about how to educate the children to help them to develop the ability of distinguishing the right from the wrong, thus avoiding going astray in confrontation with various temptations in the world.
