Unwind II English II Graveyard

Part Five-Graveyard


Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201
Risa was first given the job as a Dishwasher as she at the time could care less about a job and still kinda doesn't, but after she got her "Job" as Dishwasher a boy caked in blood thanks to Connor comes over and Risa goes over to him and gives him "Medical instructions to stop his bleeding nose which instantly transports her from Dishwasher Duty to Medical Duty.

Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work" P205
Connor feels that the Admiral's using the kids/them as slaves to do his dirty work because slavery is seen as the lesser evil now because of Unwinding.
Also to the fact that in P207 Connor thinks that the Admiral is sizing them up to find something on a child which would fit him, and when work calls up he thinks that instead of them actually going to work there just being sent off to get unwound, because of the fact that lots of kids disappear on work calls.

How does Roland unsettle Connor P206-207
Roland unsettles Connor in a way because he tells Connor certain things different about the Admiral that may get people thinking and to the fact that he has perfect teeth which Connor notices that, that shouldn't be the case for a war veteran which just sinks deeper into his bad gut feelings and the fact that Roland was the one that told him this.
This also adds to the fact that Connor hates Roland's guts and has no point in trusting Roland, and sometimes when people that you don't like or trust say certain things it gets you thinking if it's true or not.

P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connors reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
Lev's arrival happens on the fourth week that Connor and Risa are at the Graveyard, his arrival is due to a new load of kids coming in. When Connor sees Lev in that line of kids, he can't help but feel angry due to the fact that this was the kid that swore he would never forgive him for "Kidnapping" him, but at the same, the thought of Lev being unwound would have been too much for Connor to bear, at the time going up to Lev his Thrilled and furious but manages to keep his calm as he goes over to Lev to see him again, the two get in a few words before Connor punches Lev in the eye saying "That's for what you did to us" and then instantly pulls him into a hug saying how he's glad that Lev's alive.

P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?
Admiral gains Connors trust by pulling out his so-called Unwinded teeth in front of Connor which were actually dentures and just look like an unwinds because they used that bots dental records to make the dentures, this also gives Connor relief to the fact that Roland wasn't right about the whole Teeth problem with the Admiral, he also gains Connor trust by telling him that the boy that he supposedly got his teeth from was actually his son, going back to the fact a few lines above when I saw that the dentist used a dental record to make the teeth which are why they look so similar to the boy's teeth in the photo and why they're so nice and perfect.
He also learns that the money that the Admiral gains, is to get the kids transported to the graveyard, to also feed the kids who remain, and also to pay off the warehouses and for bribery for people to look the other way so no one will tell the Juvey-Cops about the children, and lastly a bit of money is given to the kids who turn eighteen so they can get a start on their free life in a cruel filled world that they live in.

What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the graveyard P212
Connor is supposedly famous at the Graveyard for getting into fights and at the same time resolving and fixing the problem even if he losses the fight.

What happens to the goldens? P217
Connor opens a crate to find five dead children in the crate. Supposedly five Seventeen-year-olds which all of the goldens were.

How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (You'll need to look throughout the section)
Roland asserts his power by manipulating kids into thinking he's more powerful than everyone else. by trying to gain power Roland puts things into the kid's drinks so it looks like the Admiral is trying to poison the kids. He also messed with the air conditioning so he can blame the Admiral on the poor conditioning that he's putting them through.

P222-226 gives 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.
The Heartland War as said was said to have two sides when really there were three. The life army, the choice army and the remains of the American military. and also when it came to the bill of life, the bill that became a law that stated that if you had a child you could not kill it off (Unwind it) until it was a certain age (13) but the truth was that was only viewed as a joke at first. The same year though a Nobel Prize went to a scientist who perfected neurografting - the technique that allows every part of a donor to be used in transplant. and with the war getting worse, the remains of the American army brokered peace by bringing both sides to the table. which was then when the American army proposed the idea of unwinding.
I think it may be plausible because as stated the American army gave out the idea, the other side wouldn't even bother of thinking of such a thing when they were neck to neck with each other on their own belief and the only way they thought of likely stopping the war and getting their way was by fighting.

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?
Honestly no, because things change in the future meaning another war could have happened by rebelling newly eighteen-year-olds and up who likely had known someone that got unwound and was rather upset or was an AWOL themself just so they could stop the Bill of life and stop children from getting unwound or killed at such a young age.
So no I don't think there should be a gap between when the Bill was signed and when the story starts, because the story gives us a good impact on the life of an AWOL and what they go through just to survive till the age of eighteen. And we also get a view on how the war went by someone who was in the war themselves.

What job does Lev volunteer to do P236
Lev volunteers to work at an oil pipeline.

Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240
Emby has Dunfree's lungs when it was said that he had Asthma and the Admiral's sun Dunfree also had Asthma as well.

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 is so we can get to know the things that Roland is doing and also to see how he views the Graveyard in his point of view and how he interacts with items and people around the place or just in general what he does around the Graveyard.
With this short chapter, we learned that Roland had been vandalising things to get people to change their view on the Admiral and as well as stealing from the infirmary.

By the end of this section, things at he Graveyard have deteriorated, with the unwinds turning on the Admiral, and tearing the place apart. Which character is beaten to death on P250?
Cleaver is the person who gets beaten to death.

What does the Admiral refuse on P255 What is the doctor's reaction to this?
He refuses to have the heart of an unwinded child.
The doctor's reaction to this gives off that they're a bit sceptical by trying to change the Admiral and the kid's minds by saying that if he doesn't get a new heart then his chance of surviving is drastically low.

Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259 Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1
He called the Juvery-Cops so he could get money for turning in a bunch of AWOLS at the Graveyard. This doesn't go according to plan because the Cops had already known about the Graveyard but hadn't bothered to go and get the kids because the only thing they cared about was that the kids were off the streets and out of sight. So basically the Admiral was doing them a favour by getting the runaway kids out of their hair.
