Unwind - Part 5

Part 5

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

She was originally assigned to dishwasher duty but then a boy came along with a bloody nose and she quickly helps him.

2. Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205 

He think that the admiral is using them for slavery.

3. How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207 

He agrees with Conner about how the admiral is using them. Roland thinks that the admiral sends the people to harvest camps. 

4. P208-209 details Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters. 

Conner has mixed feelings towards seeing Lev because he snitched on them but is happy to see him not unwound. From what Conner and Risa remembered Lev by has changed when they saw each other. Lev was wearing torn jeans, messy hair and a dirty red shirt.

5. P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?  The admiral gained Conners trust by telling him about his dentures thinking that it was from an unwounds teeth.

6. What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212 He became more famous because he got into lots of fights even if he loses or wins the problem is resolved. 

7. What happens to the Goldens?p217 The goldens were all found dead inside the crate from suffocation. 
8. 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. 

9. 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. There was an argument between the Life army and the brigade and the American military was there to try and stop them from killing each other. One side was killing abortion doctors and the other side 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.  

10. 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 think there should be a few more generations to show what unwinding had been to what is becoming.

11. What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236 

Lev volunteered to work on an oil pipeline.

12. Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240 

His lungs

13. 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? 

This shows how Roland would do anything to not get unwound.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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 living in 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 - Part 4

 Part 4

1. This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing? Lev starts to change and become more violent because he’s now fighting for his life and doing what he needs to do in order to not get caught. 

2. 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 would rather be unwound even though you have a chance to die you also have a chance to live and try escape. If you escape you have a chance to live a better life. Even when they use your body parts and give it to someone else it can be a good thing because it can be put to good use. 

3. Another question the kids in the book discuss is, "If every part of you is still alive but inside someone else, are you alive or are you dead?" They also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out, and if the soul remains intact. What do you think? Read Thomas Hobbes' Ship of Theseus puzzle to help you make a decision. Be sure to reference it in your answer!
4. I think that your body parts are alive but mentally you're dead.

6. 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? Cy-Fi knows that Tyler's favourite ice cream flavour is pumpkin but Cy-Fi doesn’t. Also when they’re walking through the streets Cy-Fi acts like he knows the place and where his house is. 

7. What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194 

He had a briefcase full of jewelry inside.

8. 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? 

Lev shows support by sticking up for Cy-Ty by becoming more violent. His parents were confused and scared because they thought that Cyrus/ Tyler would hurt them.

Business

Who is in your group for a business:
For business I am planning to work with Trisha and Johanna. We work well together because we always get our work done on time.


Building activity:
I think Trisha and I worked really well together because of how we communicated and listened to each others ideas. Some of our ideas didn't work out but in the end we put paper inside and it all worked well.

Social Studies - Matariki

 We all picked our chosen holiday to change for Matariki, so I chose the Queen's since it's basically has no other meaning behind it. After some research I made this poster as the result!
