Dying is a little bit more than ‘change'." (Shusterman 23)

"Changing" an aspect of life is meaning to be able to experience a difference in life and to be able to understand the difference. One is supposed to be conscious of what is happening and be able to adapt to the change. Experiencing death would only be change for the loved ones of the one who has passed. Death is an end of a person's life and an end for that person to experience any changes in life. In the book, people see death as a change because they believe they are still living on in different human bodies. Death is defiantly more than just a change.]]> 2019-03-27 03:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532042 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532124 "So, what's it like," Connor asks, "knowing all your life you're going to be sacrificed?"
"It's better than going through life without knowing your purpose." (Shusterman 44)

Knowing how you are going to die can be a sense of calming for people who like to know how their life will play out. The tithes are the type of people who are glad to have that purpose and know that they are dying for what they believe is a good reason. Most would rather be aware of their death than not know if they have a purpose in life. They are open to giving their life for the sense of belonging. This can be argued to be ethical because the tithes are agreeing to give their life as a donation. Death, for the tithes, is seen an honor.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532124 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532137 "Better to be broken up on the outside instead. That way their divided spirits could rest, knowing that their living flesh was spread around the world, saving lives, making other people whole. Just as his own spirit would soon rest." (Shusterman 68)

One reason for a person to be unwound is to end the lives of the teenagers who are not any help in society and only cause problems. They are seen as the failures of the family and are seen as to be better off as different parts in different bodies who people who are better living in the society. There are seen as better off "saving lives" then having the chance to redeem themselves throughout their life as an adult. This is unethical because one should not be judged on the way one lives their life before their brain as fully developed. Children and teenagers make mistakes and some could be seen as trouble makers, but that should not reflect how that person will live their life as an adult.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532137 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532155 "Because if their own parents didn't care enough about them to keep them, who would want them in Heaven?" (Shusterman 167)

Humans do not see the same as God does. Therefore, God wants everyone to be in Heaven with Him no matter how you choose to live your life. God made everyone in his image and likeness; Heaven is for everyone. For the people in this society to think something like this is disturbing. To be unwanted by your own parents who should be the ones to love you the most is a very hard thing to deal with. Parents are always seen as the ones to love every flaw that one may have. Because of parents getting the decision to unwind their own child, people get the idea that if they are not loved by their own parent then they must not belong anywhere, even to Heaven.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532155 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532182 “So, then,” says Hayden, “if every part of you is alive but inside someone else…are you alive or are you dead?” (Shusterman 167)

For someone to have to think about whether a person is alive or dead is mind blowing. One should not have to be worried about whether one is still alive or is in Heaven for not reason, but only because they do not belong. Because every part of a person's body is used when unwound, it does not mean that they are still living. That person's soul is sent to Heaven because the unwound person is not their full self. They are not how God has created them to be. They are considered dead, which is unethical. A human is not alive without their soul.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532182 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532218 "Wherever his journey now takes him, it doesn’t matter, because he has already arrived there in his heart." (Shusterman 193)

The following quote addresses the part in the novel when Cy went to the jewelry box with the stolen jewelry, which was stolen by the unwound brain he received. I feel for Cy and for the family that had received the stolen jewelry back because two people are "living," but not who they truly are. Cy will never be the same as he was before we got the brain transplant. He will never make the same decisions and choices that he did, but will make the decisions and choices of the man of his new brain. Cy will not live the life that he may have wanted to live because of this major change. This should be another reason that unwinding is unethical. One should not be killed only to be "alive" in another person's body because the unwound and the person recieving the transplant both will not be what God made them to be. Either way, no one is living the life they chose to live.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532218 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532253 "What does it take to unwind the unwanted? It takes twelve surgeons, inteams of two, rotating in and out as their medical speciality is needed." (Shusterman 288)

"To unwind the unwanted" means to take the life of person who does not belong in the society and is to be used for body parts of different people. In this quote, there is no emotion toward the killing of the unwanted and only addresses the fact that it takes surgeons and a facility to get the job done. This shows how people were "immune" to the fact that innocent citizens were being killed just because their parents did not want them anymore. It is as if the surgeons performing the speciality is a normal doctor from the way that the citizens talk about them. This quote shows that the people believe that it is ethical and that there is just a job to get done.]]> 2019-03-27 03:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345532253 sierra_tumminello https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345533780 One major theme that I will explore throughout the book, supporting with quotes, is the belief on whether legal death is ethical or not. Many times throughout Unwind by Neal Shusterman one can see how people questioned the law, but did not at the same time. Most people are brainwashed and believe that is it ethical, but do not want it to happen to them. ]]> 2019-03-27 03:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sierra_tumminello/vepyw4teyp5r/wish/345533780
