Part 6 - Unwound
1. Connor and Risa are sent to Happy Jack Harvest Camp. Describe what it is like, and explain why it is like this. P265-266
The Happy Jack Harvest camp is based in Arizona, it has big windows that show a beautiful scenic view of the nature around them. It also has bright colourful pastel inferior and the staff has Hawaiian style clothes.
2. What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269
You have 99.44% of the Unwind you have to keep alive. It is not 100% because some parts of the unwind aren't always useful like the appendix.
3. What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs? P271
The unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs the 'chop shop'
4. Lev too is at Happy Jack but as a tithe. Why is this?
I think Lev is at Happy Jack harvest camp as a tithe because he got caught after he volunteered at a job in an oil pipeline and that they blamed Connor for abducting him.
5. On p278 Connor and Roland finally have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this?
Both Roland and Connor realised that fighting each other is meaningless because they'll get unwind anyway.
6. P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?
Lev joined a group of clappers. Lev was recruited by Cleaver when they were still in the Graveyard. Blaine was the one Mai and Lev are following, following when they will detonate themselves.
7. Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this?
At first, Roland thought he was being unwound for hitting the staff with a volleyball but the staff later told him that he is being unwound for his blood and not for hitting a staff with a ball. He was unwound because his blood is AB negative, a rare type of blood that is in high demand by customers.
8. Chapter 61 is arguably the most confronting chapter in the book. Here we have Roland's first person narrative of being unwound. Do you think this chapter is necessary? Why do you think Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed? Do his memories alter how you view him?
I think this chapter is necessary because it let the readers know what is happening when a person is being unwound; the process of them being unwound and how they feel being unwound. Neal Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed because I think he wants the readers to know what is happening when a person is being unwound. His memories alter how I view him only a little by what happened to him about his mother. I still don't like him for what he did to Risa in the bathroom.
9. Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310
Lev decided not to clap because his 'stronger' side didn't let him clap and that what he is doing is wrong. I think he didn't clap because he also wants to help Connor after Connor helped him in the past.
