Unwind follows this side of the argument.]]> 2018-03-14 16:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241976801 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241983960 The Pro choice and Pro life argument led to the Bill of Life. This bill made abortions illegal but allowed people to be "unwound" if they are between the ages of thirteen to eighteen.]]> 2018-03-14 16:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241983960 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241986568 Tithes are children who were born to be unwound, but tithes are not given the option to save themselves. These children are meant to be unwound so that their organs can be donated to someone who needs them more. Although the effect of being unwound means saving other, this idea is still immoral because it takes away the child's choice of if he or she wants to be sacrificed or not. ]]> 2018-03-14 16:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241986568 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241990149 Lev is a tithe, and Marcus, Lev's brother, realizes that Lev only has a set time to live even though he is an outstanding student and a perfect child. Marcus stands up to their dad saying, "Gotta wrap up all those life events, all those parties, into one... Very efficient right?" (Shusterman 29). Because Marcus is denied the right to life, tithing is immoral.]]> 2018-03-14 16:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241990149 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241995399 Tithes are told their whole life that they are the special ones in society because God wants "not first fruits, but best fruits." (Shusterman 33). The life of a tithe is devoted to serving and sacrificing themselves to God. These people do not know any different; therefore, no one in society understands how immoral tithing is. ]]> 2018-03-14 16:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/241995399 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242809237 Unwinding is illegal in this society, but tithing is basically the same thing. How can one be legal, and the other is not? Murder is involved in both because the parents of these children are choosing to kill or sign away their child's life. ]]> 2018-03-16 13:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242809237 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242962922 Parents in this society that is described in the book believe that tithing is natural. Parents think this way because society is telling adults that their children are meant to serve God. Some children just have a calling in life to become a tithe and sacrifice themselves to please God. ]]> 2018-03-16 18:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242962922 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242966159 One character in the book that realizes that tithing is not moral is Connor Lassiter. He is known for always getting caught in the wrong crowd. Throughout the book, he makes many mistakes during his journey in finding a way out of his inevitable death. One admirable thing about Connor is that he brings awareness to the situation even though a failure could mean an early demise. ]]> 2018-03-16 18:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242966159 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242969496 Unwind is set in the city of Akron, Ohio some time in the future. The only detail given by the author is when the protagonist, Connor, states that there are old products from his grandfather's time like iPods and flat screens (Shusterman 91). Every thing in this world is more advanced; therefore, different topics have caused a shift in this society, and Unwind describes one specific action taken in regards to abortion. ]]> 2018-03-16 18:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/242969496 victoria_cano https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/243835405 Throughout the book, the readers can conclude that the people of this society only care about the positive outcomes of being unwound. Connor realizes that not only is this action immoral since the freedom of choosing death is taken away from the kid, but also this action is selfish. Connor says that he would rather die than take a piece from an unwound person (Shusterman 128). A reasonable person would realize that he or she is receiving parts from a human that was 100% healthy and could still be alive if it were not for being unwound.]]> 2018-03-20 04:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cano/qpgu83lr3o3k/wish/243835405
