Unwind #8 Part 7

How is it that Connor was not unwound? p318 He stole the identity of someone named Robert who was a 19 yr old security guard.

Whose arm does he now have? P319 Roland’s arm.

On p321 Risa tells Connor how she won't be unwound. Do you think her decision to not accept the spine of an Unwind was purely ethical, or was she also playing the system in order to stay alive? I'd say both because Risa is a very genuine person and sticks to her beliefs that unwinding is bad and she was also playing the system to stay alive because by law it is illegal to unwind a disabled person.

Since the explosions at Happy Jack, what have people been doing? What has Cy-Fi's role been in this? P325  Made a stand against unwinding 

Lev's parents disown him. Who is trying to become his guardian? P328. Marcus, his brother. 

Why has Pastor Dan resigned? P329 He still believes in god just no the whole tithing god type of stuff.

P331-332 explain what has happened to Harlan Dunfee. What do you think about the Admiral and his wife's plan? Was it what you expected?  As mentioned in the previous chapters Dunfee used to be an unwind in fact he has been unwound he's bits and pieces has been put into other kids. The admiral and his wife would have put him back together as he would've turned 26 - not surgically but instead bringing those who have Dunfee in them. I expected it because the admiral and the wife are against unwinding. 

Who takes over the graveyard? P331 Connor, he took over it after the admiral left.

PREDICTION: there are three more books after this. What do you think might happen to Risa, Connor and Lev? Any other characters you would like make a prediction for? They go on an adventure helping those who are about to be unwind.

Street Art #1

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS:
1) What were you meant to learn?
 Visual art, Why do we need to have visual art around us        and our reactions towards street art. 

2) What did you enjoy about this process?
Researching about the topic and just learning more overall. 

3) What do you think you will do next? Learning about the NZ street artists.

Unwind #7 part 6

Connor and Risa are sent to Happy Jack Harvest Camp. Describe what it is like, and explain why it is like this. P265-266 Most things in the camp are painted pastel colour as it is calming they try not to use too much red as it usually means: blood, anger, frustration etc. 

What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269 %99.46

What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs? P271 Chop shop

Lev too, is at Happy Jack, but as a tithe. Why is this? Tithes are a different caste and have a higher calling. 

On p278 Connor and Roland finally have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this? Roland was accused by Connor of being behind the goldens death. Out of anger, Roland was going to kill connor but because he just couldn't - it proves that he wasn't behind the goldens death

P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?  Cleaver recruited them to join the clappers group 

Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this? He was a troubled guy and he is a distraction to the other unwinds.

Chapter 61 is arguably the most confronting chapter in the book. Here we have Roland's first person narrative of being unwound. Do you think this chapter is necessary? Why do you think Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed? Do his memories alter how you view him?  It adds emotion  from the reader's point of view 

Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310 As much as he wanted to he just couldn't bring himself up to do so

Unwind #6 part 5

Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201 

She was assigned to work at the medical bay but before because she helped a guy who had a bloody
nose but before that she was originally assigned to dishwasher duty.

Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205 He believes that the admiral is using him for slavery.

How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207 He also believes about the conspiracy of the admiral
using them for slavery but he also thinks that the admiral send them to the harvest camp.

P208-209 details Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles
for both characters. Lev seems to be a little bit different than the last time Conner and risa saw him; he
wore ripped jeans and a nasty red shirt with messy hair. Connor isn't too excited to see Lev considering
that he snitched on both Connor and Risa but although he snitched but at the same time he cant face the
fact that Lev could get unwind. 

P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's
trust? Over time connor started to trust the admiral by telling him about his dentures as he thought it was
from an unwounds teeth.

What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212
Connor got into a lot of fights and weather or not he loses, the problem is always resolved

What happens to the Goldens?p217 Found dead in the crates caused by suffocation

How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout
the section) He thinks he has power because he makes people believe that he is good by poisoning
foods to make people think the admiral did it. 

P222-226 give us an insight into how the Unwinding Bill was passed into law. Summarise what
happened, then explain whether or not you think it is plausible. There was a war with three sides
called the Life army, the choice brigade and American military. An argument happened between the Life
army and the brigade and the American military was interfering to stop them from killing each other.
One side was killing abortion doctors and the other were people getting pregants just to sell their fetal
tissue. They came up with an idea that all started unwinding which was a joke but was intended to be
serious. A scientist who perfected neurografting which is a technique that allowed every part of a donor
to be used in transplant. They proposed the idea of unwinding and both sides agreed to terminate
unwanted without actually killing them. They signed the bill of life and the war was over but the winding
went into effect.

The Admiral was there when the Bill of Life was signed - do you think this detracts from the
believability of the commonplace nature of Unwinding? In your opinion, do you think the book
should have a few more generations between those who signed the Bill, and the present state in
the novel? I personally think that there should be a couple more generations to show what unwinding had
been to and what it is becoming.

What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236 He volunteered to work on an oil pipeline.

Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240 Lungs

Chapter 39 is from Roland's point of view. Why do you think Shusterman changes the narrative
here? What do we learn in this short chapter? Shusterman did it so that the readers would be able to
see rolands point of view because he would risk anything to not get unwound. He is resilient. 

By the end of this section, things at the Graveyard have deteriorated, with the unwinds turning
on the Admiral, and tearing the place apart. Which character is beaten to death on p250? The
person who was beaten to death was Cleaver.

What does the Admiral refuse on p255? What is the doctor's reaction to this? The doctors were all
shocked and said that it’s against the religion but they agreed and did it even though the chance of
surviving is low.

Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259 Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1 His plans didn't work because the juvey cops already knew about the unwounds and the graveyard and that the admiral was in charge but was okay because none of them got in the way of things until the admiral had to go to the hospital.

Unwind #5 Part 4

This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is
changing? Lev’s behaviour became much more violent, because he is in a state where he needs to be
more aware and careful with his choices so that he won’t get caught.

While being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "Would it be
better to die or be unwound?" If given the choice, which would you choose? Why?
This response requires more than one or two sentences! Put forward at least three reasons why
you think what you do. I personally would rather be unwound because there is a 50/50 chance that I
could escape. Yes, it is a big risk but no matter what choice I'd choose I would be a goner. But, if I don't
end up being an escapee my organs would most likely go to someone who needs it most. 

This section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin. As they get closer, Cy-Fi's
behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. What are some of the things he does, or things he likes,
that are not his own behaviours or memories? Because he is an unwind he acts as an unwind. He
reminisced about his dark past remembering about the unwinds favourite flavor of ice cream.

What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194  Stolen jewellery in small dug out holes next to his
pets grave.

The section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination. What do you think of his parents' behaviour? What does Lev's support show you about his character? Like all, Lev has a decent side of him, a side that is kind and considerate.
