Unwind - Part 4 - Destinations

Part 4 - Destinations

1. This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing?
Lev is now being smart and strategic of what he needs to do to survive. He also became courageous by trying to bribe the pawnbroker for money to survive.
2. While being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "Would it be better to die or be unwound?" If given the choice, which would you choose? Why? This response requires more than one or two sentences! Put forward at least three reasons why you think what you do.
I think it would be better to be unwound because that way I can at least give my organs to save people who need an organ donor. It would be better for me to be unwound because I could also 'live in a divided state' by my body parts being given to recipients.

3. Another question the kids in the book discuss is, "If every part of you is still alive but inside someone else, are you alive or are you dead?" They also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out and if the soul remains intact. What do you think? Read Thomas Hobbes' Ship of Theseus puzzle to help you make a decision.

I think you would still be alive but inside different people and I think you can also control a different part of the recipient. Just like Tyler in Cy-Fi's body, one part of Ci-Fy's brain was replaced with Tyler's brain. Tyler can still control Cy-Fi's brain telling him where to go and what to do without Cy-Fi knowing.

4. This section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin. As they get closer, Cy-Fi's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. What are some of the things he does, or things he likes, that are not his own behaviours or memories?
Cy-Fi twitches more when he arrived at Joplin. Which seems like Tyler was trying to take over him. Cy-Fi also had Tyler's urge to steal shiny things.

5. What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194
Cy-Ty was hiding a variety of expensive and shiny things buried in his backyard.

6. The section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination. What do you think of his parents' behaviour? What does Lev's support show you about his character?
I think Cy-Ty's parents are scared of him because of how Tyler came back to them in someone else's body to tell them to not unwind him. Lev's support shows me that Lev is a caring person.
