Part 5 - Graveyard

1. Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201

In the graveyard, Risa gets assigned to become a medic. She was assigned to become a medic because of how she treated the boy with a broken nose, telling him what to do, showing him how to pinch his nose to stop the bleeding.
2. Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205

Connor doesn't volunteer for work because he thinks that the Admiral is using them. It is written in the book, "The Admiral's using us" Connor says to the kids around him.
3. How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207

Roland had Connor thinking about the Admiral if he really has a different agenda. Roland also made a comment about how the Admiral's teeth are too perfect for his old body and how the Admiral took them from an unwind.
4. P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
Just like what happened to Connor and Risa, Lev came to the graveyard in a crate inside a plane. After Lev and the others arrived they were later addressed to the supply jet.

Connor had mixed emotions when he noticed Lev coming out of the plane. Connor felt furious, thrilled, and relieved at the same time.5. P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?

The Admiral gained Connor's trust by telling him about his teeth, that it's just dentures made from Thailand and that it's not from an unwind. The Admiral also told Connor about why the Admiral puts Connor and the others into service positions.
6. What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212
According to the Admiral, Connor is becoming famous in the Graveyard by repairing things and from fighting.7. What happens to the Goldens?p217
The Golden was dead inside a crate inside a plane which the Admiral shows to Connor. The Admiral thinks that the Goldens are targeted by people who are jealous of their power and that they want to rise up in the rankings.8. How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout the section)

Roland begins to assert his power in the Graveyard by spreading rumours about the Admiral, how he has perfect teeth and how he was looking for a good body part from everybody in the Graveyard. Roland spread negative rumours about the Admiral so Roland can get everyone in the Graveyard to be on his side.
9. P222-226 give us an insight into how the Unwinding Bill was passed into law. Summarise what happened, then explain whether or not you think it is plausible.
In the Heartland war, most people think it was just two sides fighting, the pro-life and the pro-choice. During the Heartland war, there is also another group involved, a group that is trying to prevent both sides from fighting. After some time the middle group managed to gather the pro-life and the pro-choice in one room, thinking about what to do to stop the war. During the meeting, the Bill of Life started as a joke until when a scientist won a Nobel prize for perfecting neurografting. Neurografting is a technique that allows every part of the donor to be used in transplants. That is when both sides agreed to do the unwinding and the Bill of Life was signed.
 
10. The Admiral was there when the Bill of Life was signed - do you think this detracts from the believability of the commonplace nature of Unwinding? In your opinion, do you think the book should have a few more generations between those who signed the Bill, and the present state in the novel?
Yes, the book should have a few more generations between those who signed the Bill and the present state in the novel so there is more different point of views about unwinding.

11. What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236
Lev volunteered to work on an oil pipeline with Mai and Blaine until they are eighteen.

12. Which part of Harlan Dunfee does Emby have? P240
Emby has Harlan Dunfee's lungs giving Emby asthma.

13. Chapter 39 is from Roland's point of view. Why do you think Shusterman changes the narrative here? What do we learn in this short chapter?
I think Neal Shusterman changes the narrative here to show a different side of Roland. We learn that Roland isn't the type of guy that would kill people.

14. By the end of this section, things at the Graveyard have deteriorated, with the unwinds turning on the Admiral, and tearing the place apart. Which character is beaten to death on p250?
The character that was beaten to death on page 250 was Cleaver. He was beaten to death by a cluster of furious teenagers.

15. What does the Admiral refuse on p255? What is the doctor's reaction to this?
The Admiral refused the nurse to give him a heart transplant. The doctor's reaction to this was surprised that the Admiral refused to have a heart transplant. The doctor then agreed to perform a different surgery to try and save the Admiral.

16. Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259 Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1

Roland asked the doctor to call the Juvey-Cops so he can turn Connor and Risa to them and convince the Juvey-Cops to free him by giving them the location of where the other unwind teenagers are hiding. Rolands plan didn't happen because the Juvey-Cops already knew about the Graveyard.
