In Unwind, parents chose to have their child "unwound", meaning that their bodies are surgically taken apart. Both processes require the deliberate taking apart of a person. Both must take place in evil, disgusting places such as abortion clinics and chop houses. Just as abortion is murder, unwinding is murder as well.]]> 2018-03-06 16:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238718373 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238723732 Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, parents can chose to have their child unwound. This means that the child is surgically taken apart. Parents may chose to unwind their children if they are misbehaved or they are the last child in the family. Their body parts are then used when others need specific parts. The process starts when children are sent the Harvest Camps. Harvest Camps house children that are being unwound. The procedure is also done at Harvest Camps. Within the Harvest Camps are the chop houses. Chop houses are surgical rooms where teenagers are taken apart.]]> 2018-03-06 16:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238723732 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238730105 The picture on the left shows a person fully together. The picture on the right shows a person broken up into pieces. Notice how the heart is missing on the right. This supports that unwinding is murder. Without your heart, you cannot live. However on the left, a person has his or her's heart and is thriving as a full being. ]]> 2018-03-06 16:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238730105 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238737710 The book views the process of unwinding as a good thing. A person is not necessarily dying but living through another person through their body parts. Therefore, the book does not believe that unwinding is considered murder. Rather, the book views unwinding as living and thriving through someone else.]]> 2018-03-06 17:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238737710 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238750093 This trailer emphasizes the affect of the Second Civil War over reproductive rights. Instead of abortion, unwinding comes into the picture. This shows that unwinding a person is not much better than abortion because parents are still deliberately deciding to get rid of their children.]]> 2018-03-06 17:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/238750093 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240164706 A death sentence is when one is being put to death by a capital crime. Giving someone the death sentence means they "deserve" it for something he or she did. Being unwound can be compared to the death sentence because when one is unwound, the act is as a result of his or her poor behavior. ]]> 2018-03-09 14:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240164706 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240199544 The truck driver helping Connor in the beginning of the novel explains how he gets in a big accident. He ended up losing an arm and a kidney. However, he eventually gets a new arm and kidney from an unwound: "These fingers here knew things the rest of me didn't. Muscle Memory they call it. And there's not a day that goes by that I don't wonder what other incredible things that kid who owned this arm knew, before he was unwound.. whoever he was" (Shusterman 14). The people who receive body parts from unwinds tend to think about who the unwind was, how they were, etc. By the way that people who received the body parts speak upon the unwound children, the reader can infer that they feel horrible about the process. Yet, people are thankful for unwinds to be able to survive for themselves.]]> 2018-03-09 15:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240199544 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240256438 This quote is said when the children, Conner, Risa, and Lev, realize that their faces are not in the news after they ran from being unwound. They wonder if their parents actually care if they are gone. They wonder this because they thought that their parents wanted them unwound. If their parents wanted them unwound so bad, then why are they not being looked for? This is when the children begin to realize, especially Lev, that being unwound is synonymous to murder.]]> 2018-03-09 16:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240256438 alexisflach1 https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240292375 Unwind was one of the best books I read. The book opens the reader's eyes to society and its' issues concerning deliberate deaths. These deaths are abortions, murder, death sentences, etc. Although the author does not directly state that unwinding is considered murder, it is inferred by the reader that the author believes unwinding is murder. Just as abortions or death sentences may not seem as direct as murder, it is understood by many that abortions and death sentences are murderous acts.]]> 2018-03-09 18:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alexisflach1/pr6m2bwdfcbp/wish/240292375
