During the procedure, the unwind stays fully conscious but does not feel a thing. The government makes the process justifiable by giving the body parts to people who are in need of them. ]]> 2018-10-17 17:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294012263 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294012581 During the pro-life/pro-choice movement, a war broke out among the two sides of the controversy. ]]> 2018-10-17 17:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294012581 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294013313 Connor is an unwind who was always known as the "bad" kid. His parents decided to unwind him for the better because of his never-ending fights. Connor liberates to his fellow unwinds, "We have a right to our lives" (Shusterman 333). Connor argues the unwinds have as much of a right to live as anyone else does. ]]> 2018-10-17 17:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294013313 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294014190 In Unwind, the people who are pro- unwinding argue unwinding is not murder. The pro-unwinds believe the kids do not die because the body parts are being used for other living humans. But, unwinding is indeed murder which can be seen throughout the novel. ]]> 2018-10-17 17:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294014190 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294015738 2018-10-17 17:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294015738 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294032340 Everyone is born with a right to live!]]> 2018-10-17 18:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294032340 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294157784 The end result of the war is the Bill of Life! The Bill of Life states, "A pregnancy could be terminated retroactively once the child reaches the age of reason" (Shusterman 204). In the bill, the signers used the word "terminated", which means to bring to an END. If unwinding is not considered murder then why would the makers of the Bill of Life use a word that is used for death? ]]> 2018-10-18 01:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294157784 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294158250 2018-10-18 01:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294158250 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294158910 2018-10-18 01:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294158910 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159506 Unwinding, when a parent who does not want their child can donate their organs until the age of eighteen, takes away this right every person is allowed to have! ]]> 2018-10-18 01:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159506 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159631 In Unwind, right to life is a major theme seen by the characters and the events taken place. Many of the characters suffer from not having the right to life and have to fight to live to the age of eighteen to get their right back. ]]> 2018-10-18 01:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159631 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159914 2018-10-18 01:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294159914 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294160656 Unlike Connor, Risa is being unwinded by the state due to her parents putting her in the foster care system since birth. Risa could not keep up with the competitive world of a pianist; "As I said, you've reached your potential" (Shusterman 23). The state decided Risa's personality traits and skills would not be useful in the world. As the book goes on, Risa proves the state wrong by not only using the skills of a piano player but also by being a medic while staying at the Graveyard.  ]]> 2018-10-18 01:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294160656 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163015 2018-10-18 02:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163015 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163045 Lev, rather than being unwound is being tithed meaning, he knew from the time he was born he would be killed for others because of his religion. Lev is kidnapped and saved by Connor and Risa on his way to be tithed. Out of Lev's hatred towards his parents, he becomes a clapper, which in return saves the lives of Risa and Connor. ]]> 2018-10-18 02:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163045 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163100 While trying to find food, Lev runs into a teen boy named CyFy. CyFy is not a unwind, but instead, he is someone who has parts of a unwind in him. CyFy got in a serious accident leaving him with a new temporal lobe from an unwind. ]]> 2018-10-18 02:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294163100 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294426238 CyFy does not only have his own thoughts but has the thoughts of the unwind too. The person is trapped in CyFy's head making the person not understand what is going on. Just because the brain of the person is trapped inside CyFy's head does not mean he is still alive. Since the person is not in their own body they are technically dead. At one point in the book, CyFy goes into a shop and says, "I'm looking for a nutcracker for my mom" (Shusterman 132). CyFy never knew his mother but the unwind in his brain did. Although he says the thoughts of the unwind the unwind is still not capable of doing anything because he is trapped in someone else's body. ]]> 2018-10-18 15:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294426238 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294427399 Every single living human has a soul no matter how dark someone thinks a soul can be. The line that defines a living person and a dead person is a soul. When a person's heart and brain are either not working or not in the same body then the soul is not there. An unwind questions the Connor, "if every part of you is alive but inside someone else...are you alive or are you dead" (Shusterman 167). The answer to this question is the person is dead. When a person's soul is taken away their life is stripped from them making them dead inside. ]]> 2018-10-18 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294427399 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294653343 When Roland is unwinded the doctors remove a part of his brain while Roland can barely form words; "I...Hypothalamus. I...Hippocampus. ...Medulla. ......" (Shusterman 294). The "..." signifies Roland's heartbeat fading into darkness, which is a sign of death. The government argues unwinding does not kill a person and they will live their life throughout another person's body part. When the doctors are taking out Roland's brain they are separating the pieces of his brain making him unconscious. Scientifically doctors say when a person's brain is unconscious that is the point where someone is declared dead. ]]> 2018-10-19 00:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294653343 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294654491 Roland is another troubled teen who is being unwinded because of his mischievous actions. Roland is the only teenager out of the main characters who is unwinded. Roland's character lets the reader feel the emotion of what being an unwind is like; "The fear surrounds him, threatening to take him under" (Shusterman 291). At the moment, fear is the only focus on Roland's mind as he reaches death. ]]> 2018-10-19 00:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294654491 emigrace10 https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294655731 2018-10-19 01:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emigrace10/ib8e4f309bym/wish/294655731
