Unwind Graveyard:
Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201
Well the job she got assigned to was doing the dishes, so she was a dishwasher.
She really didn't mind because she wanted to get it over and done with.
But then later on in the book she helped a random person with a bleeding nose, and she did everything right just to make it stop, and so she became a dishwasher to a medic.
So she is assigned as a medic.
Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205
Well what I may know is that, the reason why he didn't put his hand up for work even though its something he may like, was because he heard people around him saying that the Admiral is using them, "this place is not a refuge, its a Slave market. Why doesn't anyone see that".
How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207
Well I believe that the way he is trying to unsettle Conner is the way he is talking to him, and telling stuff about what the Admiral is trying to do, some ways the Admiral is trying to use things from the unwinds for him to have and want.
P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
Conner's reaction to seeing Lev was in my thoughts mixed emotions, and what I mean by that is that he is quite happy to see him but at the same time angry at Lev for betraying him and Risa and the first place.
When Lev spotted Conner he just gave him a small grin, and Lev had never been pleased by Conner's presence.
The first thing Lev just said was "How are things?"
But later on Conner had to do something that was right and what he had to do to make things right between the two of them.
So he hauls off and punches Lev in the eye.
P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?
Well Conner did have a good argument to tell the Admiral, but the thing was, was that the Admiral did tell the truth to him, which was something I wasn't expecting, he took out his dentures and told where he got it, and telling Conner about his life.
But I feel like the Admiral, is telling Conner all these because he knows he might be the Admiral's helper or something.
What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212
Well he was a good fixer and would be good at fixing things, and the Admiral knows that.
And also the Admiral told Conner if he could fix his coffeemaker, to see Conner's improvement and just how smart and good Conner is with fixing stuff.
What happens to the Goldens?p217
They were killed from someone, locking them up in a crate suffocating with no air holes to breathe, Conner thinks it was Roland the whole time, but it really wasn't him.
How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout the section)
Well I believe that he is trying his best, telling everyone things about the admiral and trying to make them feel in a type of way to escape I guess.
Roland may be telling everyone that the admiral is trying to look for good body parts or other stuff so he can look good I guess, he wants every unwind in one spot so he can do his next move on them.
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.
Well as known in the book, there was not only two wars there were three.
There was the life army, choice brigade, and the remains of the American Military, whose job was to keep both wars from fighting each other.
Later on in the book, the Bill of life joined in, at first it was a joke and no one took it seriously.
But that same year the Nobel Prize went to a scientist who perfected neurografting, its a technique that allows every part of a donor to be used in transplant.
But then with the war getting worse, they decided to bring both sides to the table.
Then they proposed an idea of unwinding, which would terminate unwanted's without ending their lives.
Both sides were thinking about it, and saw that nothing was wrong with it, and so the Bill of Life was signed, the Unwind Accord went into effect, and the war was officially over.
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 mean they could have shown more information about who signed the Bill of Life,
because he would have given more knowledge to Conner to see what he would try and do if their were anyone his age that could have signed the Bill.
But then on the other hand I don't think it will matter if he had told more about who signed the Bill of life because Conner wouldn't have known anything about it.
What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236
The Job that Lev Volunteered to do, which his hand was the third to go up.
He chose to do the pipeline Job.
Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240
Emby has the lungs from Harlen Dunfree, and I guess that's where she got given the last name is Dunfree
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?
Well this short chapter talks about Roland and Conner, I feel like this short chapter could show that Conner has an enemy heading his way to make the story a bit more hard for them to save themselves from being unwound.
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?
At the end of the section Cleaver was the character who was getting beaten up by a crowd of people, or you could say a crowd of Unwinds.
What does the Admiral refuse on p255? What is the doctor's reaction to this?
Well the Admiral refuses to have an heart transplant, and the doctor's reaction wasn't as happy that he sighs in some type of way that the Doctor isn't happy.
Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259
Well from what I saw in the book he had the Juvey-Cops called, because they told Roland that there is a price up for grabs if you caught Unwinds and to bring them to the Juvey-Cops.
And also Roland was talking about Conner and Risa but not only them, but the rest of the Unwinds.
Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1
Roland's plan didn't work because all along the cops knew about the Admiral and the Graveyard for more then a year.
What happens to the Goldens?p217
They were killed from someone, locking them up in a crate suffocating with no air holes to breathe, Conner thinks it was Roland the whole time, but it really wasn't him.
