Unwind II English II Unwound

Part Six-Unwound


Connor and Risa are sent to Happy Jack Harvest Camp. Describe what it is like, and explain why it is like this. P265-266
The Harvest camp seems to go along with its name in colours Happy Jack because it's so colourful. They probably made the camp look so happy and safe to fit the name and to distract the kids for a good amount of time so they can get down all their results before the child's unwinding.
Because I feel that colours also bring a part in how you feel like dark colours may give off a bad feeling and happy bright colours may give off a happy and safe feeling.

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 percentage is 99.44 percentage because this also takes into account like the appendix.

What do the unwinds call the place where the unwinding occurs? P271
They call it the chop shop, because it's where you get cut up into tiny piece bit by bit.

Lev too is at Happy Jack but as a tithe. Why is this?
Because he has been registered to the system as a Tithe, because the day Connor rescued him was also the day he was on his way to the Harvest camp. Meaning he was already named a tithe in the system before he went AWOL.

On P278 Connor and Roland finally have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this?
Both had realised, Roland himself included that he was to afraid to really kill someone, even if his words were threatening. Roland had released this as he had almost killed Connor.

P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?
He had been recruited by Mai and Blaine into a clapper group when they were recruited for the Alaskan pipeline. Blaine says that they'll carry out their plan on the day after the coming day.

Roland is called for unwinding on P286. Why is this?
He was called in first to get unwound before Connor because of his blood type which was in high demand.

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?
I think this chapter was necessary. Because it gives us an insight on how the unwinding process goes and what every kid that gets unwound experiences and what their likely thinking and going through at the time.
It only changes my opinion on him a bit after finding out about why he was unwound to begin with, but I also still dislike him as he thinks that he's above everyone and everyone else should be below him as well as the fact that he was stupid enough to give himself away by saying that he knew where lots of unwounds were, where he himself was also one because he would've of been registered as one. Meaning he had just given himself a one-way ticket to the harvest camp anyway just because if you bring in a lot of AWOLS you'd get a lot of money for it.

Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310Because Lev knows that if he claps he's gonna die, so he restrains himself because he himself still wants to live.
