Part Seven-Consciousness
How is it that Connor was not unwound? p318
He adopted a new persona, a nineteen-year-old guard named E. Robert Mullard that prevented him from getting unwind after getting into an accident with the clappers.
Whose arm does he now have? P319
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?
Since the explosions at Happy Jack, what have people been doing? What has Cy-Fi's role been in this? P325
P331-332 explain what has happened to Harlan Dunfee. What do you think about the Admiral and his wife's plan? The Admiral and his wife threw a party gathering everyone who had Harlan Dunfee's part together in memory of Harlan. They had nametags, not for their names but for the part they got from Harlan. I think this is a genius way of reuniting with an unwound children in a non-violent way.
Was it what you expected?
I expected them to gather all the people and harvest back Harlan Dunfee's parts to bring him back to life, like the story.
Who takes over the graveyard? P331
Whose arm does he now have? P319
He inherited the arm of Roland.
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 think she chose not to because she knows what it feels like to be an unwind but at the same time, she chose not to so she doesn't get unwind herself.
Since the explosions at Happy Jack, what have people been doing? What has Cy-Fi's role been in this? P325
Cy-Fi started to speak up, to give the unwinds a voice, educating people that unwinding is a wrong thing. People also are waking up and protesting against unwinding, resulting to lowering the age to seventeen.
Lev's parents disown him. Who is trying to become his guardian? Lev's brother Marcus is trying to get Lev's parenting consent.
Why has Pastor Dan resigned? P329
Pastor Dan visited Lev in a way to apologise for tricking Lev into tithing hence why he resigned to not lead any other children into tithing. He decided to believe in another God that doesn't allow tithing.

Who takes over the graveyard? P331
Since the general's health is declining and couldn't take to lead the graveyard anymore, Connor stepped up and took over.
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?
I think Connor is going to continue to help at the graveyard to save more unwinds and Risa helping there as a medic. I also predict that Cy-fi and Lev are going to reunite and speak up for the unwinds until they abolish the unwinding law.

Part Six-Unwound
Part Six-Unwound
For your ease of mind, there are a variety of harvest camps to choose from.
Each facility is privately owned, state licensed, and federally funded by your tax dollars. Regardless of the site you choose, you can feel confident that your Unwind will receive the finest possible care from our board-certified staff as they make their transition to a divided state.
-From The Parents' Unwinding Handbook
CONNECTIONS:
While at Harvest Camp, cameras film what the unwinds do at all times. This is an Orwellian concept, and happens in 1984. It is also increasingly popular in our world to have 24hr CCTV coverage of most places.
Rehabilitation Centres and Prisons: The group counselling, daily physical activities and strict diet are similar to many rehab centres for people recovering from substance abuse, or a mental health issue. They are also quite similar to many modern prisons.
The Happy Jack Harvest Camp looked like a hotel in Hawaii, sunny, filled with palm trees and surrounded with a beautiful view, the interior filled with bright pastel colours and staff clothed in summer Hawaiian clothing.
What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269
The exact amount of body parts to be kept alive is 99.44% this due to the appendix having no purpose in the body.
What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs? P271
They call it the "Chop shop", this is because of the place where chopping the body parts occur.
Lev too is at Happy Jack, but as a tithe. Why is this?
When Lev volunteered for the pipeline job he was caught but it has been decided to keep him as a tithe since they blamed Connor for his escape.
On p278 Connor and Roland finally, have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this?
That fighting doesn't solve anything and has no point in doing since their both getting unwind anyway.
P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?
Lev got recruited by a group called the "clappers", suicide bombers that have explosive blood that can be detonated by clapping. Lev had no control of the plan only Blaine had the say.
Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this?
He thought it was the reason for hitting one of the staff with a volleyball but it was because his blood type AB was really rare.
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?
I think this is necessary for the story to educate the audience on what it's like to be unwound.
Why do you think Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed? So the readers gain information on what's going to happen to the soul during the procedure and know what it feels like during that time. He also could've done this to show more of Roland's past so readers can change their mind towards him or towards unwinding.
Do his memories alter how you view him?
After reading the chapter my hate towards Roland decreased although it didn't make me stop hating him. No matter what happens his attitude and behaviour towards other people in the past still makes me despise him.
Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310
The stronger side of Lev wasn't allowing him to detonate the bomb because he knows what he's doing is wrong. Connor also is part of the reason since he and Lev had history and Lev wanted to save him like he had saved Lev.

Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking involves people being exploited, sold, abused and kidnapped. Human Trafficking occurs around the world but one of the worst countries involved are Belarus, China, and North Korea. Human Trafficking is driven by money, people abuse and kidnap other individuals to make more income not empathizing with others and treating them like slaves, defiling their Human Rights, “No To Slavery”. Pimp and smugglers often abduct young girls withdrawing them from there family causing them trauma and exploiting them for sexual purposes making them prostitutes. There are many young girls still to this day getting exploited and getting sexually abused.

Child Soldier
This map shows the worst countries that have child soldiers.
Child Soldier:
My Definition:
Child soldiers are children age 18 or younger recruited by an armed force either forcefully or voluntarily. Child Soldiers aren't all recruited for fighting some job involve as messengers, human shields, cooks, spies, suicide bomber or sex slaves.
Google Definition:
Google Definition:
Child soldiers are children (individuals under the age of 18) who are used for any military purpose. Some are in their late teens, while others may be as young as four. They are not only boys – many are girls.
Some child soldiers are used for fighting – to kill and commit other acts of violence. Others are used as cooks, porters, messengers, informants or spies, or in any other way their commanders want. Child soldiers are also used for sexual purposes.
SEEL paragraph:
Child soldiers are used and manipulated into war violating both their human rights and freedom. Most child soldiers are recruited in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, some children join voluntarily to escape poverty to gain protection or to have someone that resembles family this why troubled areas are often targeted due to children from that area are more prone to violence and have fewer chances of having school or work opportunity, however, most are kidnapped and forced into joining through threatening and frightening the children into it. Being forced into holding a gun and teaching children to kill isn’t the only business child soldiers do, jobs can include as being messengers, cooks, human shields, spies, suicide bombers, or sex slaves, many of these jobs dishonours the Human Rights Law, like the Right To Life, if a child is forced into being a human shield or a human weapon there Right to Life is violated and taken away from them or their Right to Education, all there time and energy are wasted on serving instead of having access to an education. Children are targeted because they are easier to manipulate and force into fighting and having their Human Right and Freedom taken away from them and seeing unpleasant things can cause trauma for the children.
