Connor's mother does not want to be the one to tell her son that she is going to "stork" her child by trying to give him to another family because she doesn't want her son to be unwound. This shows the theme of betrayal because the mother does tell her son that they are trying to get rid of him and Connor feels betrayed by his own family. The idea of Connor being left by his own family makes him think about the betrayal he feels and how he may have to go to another family.]]> 2020-04-14 02:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505529342 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505530436 This theme is portrayed throughout this quote in that they are showing how the sacrifice for one's self is the most ultimate blessing. Someone else is sacrificing themselves for someone. In the novel, the unwinds usually make sacrifices for themselves, so when someone sacrifices for someone else with not wanting anything in return, it is the ultimate blessing. In this quote, Lev realizes that there is no point in trying to explain herself to the crazy kid and that she knows the true idea of sacrifice followed by the other unwinds doing "selfless" acts for themselves. To Lev, that is not a real sacrifice.]]> 2020-04-14 02:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505530436 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505532216 This quote relates to the theme of religion in that religion is used in the novel to put a sense of belonging on some. Even though religion is put in the novel to be a comfort for some characters, Lev, is a tithe which means she will be sacrificed for religious beliefs. Lev's parents had always told him that he was special and that he was meant to serve God and mankind but never mentioned that he would be tithe until later. He was special in that Lev was going to be the child they sacrificed on his 13th birthday. This was all part of their religion and how it played a major role in their lives.]]> 2020-04-14 02:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505532216 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505543686 Since Connor was the one that brought this up, it involves religion in two ways: showing how Connor does not have a strong religion like Lev and how Lev does not have an answer. By Connor not having a strong sense of religion, he does not have a spiritual way of thinking about why the baby would be put on the Earth regardless of how much love it has. Although, at the same time, Lev does not have an answer but is probably spiritually thinking about the question posed by Connor. The theme of religion is shown through them both in that religion is up for interpretation. Not one person thinks the same within their religion. Everyone may be the same religion, but individually have their own mindset towards that specific religion.]]> 2020-04-14 02:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505543686 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505547736 This relates to the theme of religion in that Lev and her parents believe that in God's eyes, everyone is equal. Whether that be morally or being sacrificed. Everyone is equal. This quote differs from the other religious themed quotes in that this one sheds a positive light on religion in the novel instead of a negative one. This one states that in his religion, God sees everyone equally and not that one is better than the other or worse, everyone is equal. This shows that not in every case does religion work against the person. The theme of religion is show throughout this quote because of how it shows a bright light on religion and religious beliefs and how they are not always dark.]]> 2020-04-14 02:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505547736 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505553897 This also portrays the idea of sacrifice because of how Lev just wants to be caught that he takes it upon himself to sacrifice Risa and Connor's freedom. This involves the theme and the quote stated before because of how Lev knows the true definition of sacrifice yet is sacrificing something of someone else's for his sake. He is going against what he said, but this act still portrays the true idea of sacrifice throughout the novel. This act shows how Lev is incorporating a major theme in the novel by taking it upon her to decide what is good for the three of them. ]]> 2020-04-14 03:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505553897 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505554886 This quote involves the theme of religion not only by bringing Moses and the bible into the quote but by tying it into the Bill of Life in the novel. He quotes that Moses's mom gave him up so he could be safe when in reality, he was safe until he was found out. The Bill of Life was to appease the Pro-life and Pro-choice parties but in this quote it talks about someone who gave up their baby still ended up putting it in danger. Lev was saying that even though Moses mom gave birth to him, she tried to "stork" him by giving him to another family to save him when he was put in more danger either way.]]> 2020-04-14 03:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505554886 Margeaux_m https://padlet.com/Margeaux_m/1y0u7lmwk5ms/wish/505593990 Hello!
