UNWIND #4 Part 3

Part 3

1) In the course of the book, Connor and Risa get separated from Lev, who travels for a time with another character. Why do you think Shusterman chose to split the narrative into two distinct threads? What do you think this achieves? How does this affect the evolution of the characters? He did it so that the reader is able to get 2 different points of views, a view from Risa and Connor and the other from Lev 

2) On p125 & 129  the novel touches on same-sex relationships. Has the attitude toward same-sex couples changed (for better or worse) in this futuristic society? Explain your response.  It be came worse because same sex marriage became illegal after the heartland war. It is not considered ‘normal’ since Lev was shocked when CyFi said “dads”.

3) P130 begins our journey into understanding a little more about Cy-Fi. Through his character, what do you learn about the effects of unwinding on both the donor and receiver? The Donor could feel bad 

4) What is the real reason Cy-Fi needs to get to Joplin, Mo? Pg 131 wanted to go to some xmas store.

5) What is the significance of Connor holding in his anger around Roland? Pg 147 Risa told Conner to not try to get angry because if he did then him and Roland would likely fight till one of them dies.

6) Connor's anger and lack of impulse control is often a problem for him, until he learns to control and channel his emotions. Do you ever feel like your impulses are stronger than your will? What strategies do you use to control your feelings? Do they work? I personally am not good at controlling my emotions, especially anger. I try to control it by slowing down my

UNWIND #3 Part 2

Risa overhears two nurses debating law and human nature. Which argument do you think is stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. I think that human nature is more stronger because humans are what makes that laws so what our opinion is will affect what the laws will turn out to be.

This section opens with a mother abandoning her newborn infant on the doorstep of a house in a good neighbourhood. As she leaves, she thinks "How wonderful it is that she can get a second chance. How wonderful it is that she can dismiss her responsibility so easily."

In your opinion, by allowing new mothers to give up their children so readily, does it take away from the value of a child?  No, I think that the child should have value even if the mother gave up on them.  It was never the child's fault. Once the mother got pregnant she had a whole responsibility to own up to. 

What is the role of a mother? Do you think the title of mother is something that should be earned, or a natural right of the woman who gave birth?  Natural rights

What skills or attributes do Connor and Risa have that work well together?  The determination to not get caught by police, teamwork, risk worthy. 

Connor and Lev have very different experiences with storking. How has this helped shape each of their attitudes toward the society they live in? Conner is familiar with storking because he lived in a family where they often got storked.

Connor is concerned the baby won't be loved, and ultimately will die, so he takes it. What does this show us about him as a person?  That he is able to show sympathy for others 

What makes Lev realise he doesn't want to be unwound? Pg79. Pastor was trying to help him even though they both knew it was dangerous.

Each of the other characters on the run has a tragic background story. Why were Hayden, Roland and Mai set to be unwound? Which, do you think, is the most tragic? Explain your response. The most tragic would be Roland because he was born in a family that was abusive and unstable. He had to protect his mother from his abusive dad. 

What tattoo does Roland have? A tiger shark

UNWIND #2 Part one

How much brainwashing do you think has happened for teenagers to make this sort of claim as they’re being led to their "death"?  -

Why, do you think, has Shusterman chosen to have three characters tell their story?  To have three different points of views.

Lev is a tithe. This means that he is the 10% that his family will give back to the church as an offering. What are your thoughts on this?  I mean, they can believe what they want to believe. 

Rita is a state home kid - she was unwanted at birth, and now the state has decided she is no longer useful. Do you think that the state should ever be able to determine if one life is more useful than another? No because everyone is unique in their own way. 

Connor's parents have chosen to unwind him due to his difficult behaviour. They have then booked a ticket to the Bahamas. In your opinion, how do parents view their children? Why do you think this The parents in this story views them as their own for obvious reasons and they still want the best for him, unwinding him is what they think is best and the reason they book a ticket is because they wanted to get their mind of it so they can avoid the deep regret than any parent would feel. 

Pastor Dan presents as being conflicted. What reasons might he have to encourage Lev in his journey as a tithe? Why does he encourage him to run? Because that's what the religion believes but during the process the pastor felt regret and wanted Lev to run away.

'Baby box' '
The baby box' is apparently a more acceptable way of getting rid of your unwanted child without them being harmed. It is a small box that is insulated (meaning it is protected by a material that prevents heat from escaping) and monitored by nurses. The UN is against this because their opinion is that it violates the child's rights.
