Unwind Part Six Unwound

Unwind 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
Happy Jack Harvest Camp, is in Arizona with a beautiful view, through the forest to the breathtaking red mountains of Sedona to the west.
Their were staffs that had uniforms that has comfortable shorts, and beautiful Hawaiian shirts.
The boys' dormitory is painted light blue, with green accents
and the girls' is lavender, with pink.
The reason why its like this was because the Unwinds are humbled for all to see before being set loose into the general population.

What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269
Well Risa did believe that the Law says you have to keep 100 percent of an Unwind alive.
But the Counselor says "its actually 99.44 percent, which takes into account things like the appendix."

What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs? P271
The Unwinds call it the Chop Shop.

Lev too, is at Happy Jack, but as a tithe. Why is this?
He was wearing his tithing whites, but for his last time, maybe because he needs to show who he is. before he has an appointment for unwinding in about thirteen days.

On p278 Connor and Roland finally have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this?
Well what Conner was thinking about while trying to fight Roland, was Would you rather die, or be Unwound? and that was the moment when Conner knew his answer, and maybe that's what Conner wanted.
Roland on the other hand was thinking about Conner really calling him the Killer, when Roland says he didn't do anything to kill anyone, and says Conner is the only Criminal here between them two.

P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?
Well he joined the group with Cleaver, and Cleaver was their recruiter.
Well what Lev knows is that he is being used but doesn't care, but all he knows is that someday soon the world will suffer, and by that they will notice it when the moment they raise their hand and applause.

Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this?
Roland's blood type is AB negative which is really rare in high demands, and he is worth more than anyone in his unit.
And so they will be unwinding him as soon as they can, before his eighteenth birthday that will be soon.

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 feel like it is necessary to have Roland's part of getting unwound in the book, because his part shows some of the information about getting unwound, and to let us know what it feels like and what it may look like.
I also believe that Shusterman have chose to have Roland's experience of this, maybe because he could be a good and strong type of person to be getting unwound.
He also isn't really a big deal in a book, but he is a good character to be Conner's type of enemy.


Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310
He couldn't clap because the stronger part of him refuses Lev to not clap at all, even though he wants to and needs to he cannot clap.
And once he saw Conner he decided not to clap at all.
