In the book Unwind By Neal Shusterman It takes place in a future but not the future we think of with hover crafts and aliens. The most interesting thing is how human life is dealt with. Storking is a common practice in this society. This is when somebody puts a baby on a porch, knocks and it is someone else 's problem... unless you are caught and then you must take it back. Unwinding people is also a common practice. This is when your body is taken apart and is used for body parts for transplantation to other people. This can happen to people between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.
The premise of the book is unbelievable but it does make the reader think about life and its value, both to an individual as well as to a society. No matter

Unfortunately, it comes back and dies on their porch. Connor doesn 't want to see that happen again with another baby. Connor and his friend Risa are “unwinds”, that is, they are destined to go to a harvest camp, where they will be taken apart and used for extra body parts. They are trying to stay away from the police until they reach the age of 18, when they will no longer be eligible to be unwound. It is while they are on the run that they come across a baby and Connor grabs the child, intent on saving it. Risa feels this will place them both at risk and is not pleased with his choice. In order to keep the child safe, they come up with a cover story that they are teenage parents. They are able to keep the baby safe until they are able to hand it off to a compassionate teacher who wants to raise a child. Connor and Risa ultimately survive, and destroy a harvest camp. Unfortunately, they do not change the practice of storking or unwinding in their society, but save themselves and a baby by their heroic actions. conner ius labled as a ' 'bad kid ' ' but i think other whys, conner saves a baby from being storked because the last time he did this storking to that baby died. my second example is when conner saved lev from being ' 'unwind ' ' just sp lev doesnt get unwind he attracts the cops to him for taking lev from being unwind that right thetev shows that conner is not a …show more content…
Running away won’t solve your problems. Connor and Risa were able to survive their horrid circumstances because they were smart, and trusted each other. They were the best of friends and had each others back. I believe that if one has someone they can count on, be it friends or family, it makes you strong enough to survive anything. I also believe the book emphasized how important it is to treasure the life you have, because we do not know what may come tomorrow. Lastly, we should appreciate all of the wondrous things our bodies do for us, and enable us to do. We take for granted our abilities to talk, think, and move but these can be gone in an instance of bad luck.The premise of the book is unbelievable but it does make the reader think about life and its value, both to an individual as well as to a society. No matter who it is their life

She eventually learned their tone and mannerisms so much so that she was able to know who was there as soon as Cam “switched”. Cam and Rikki decided to move themselves and their son Kai to California to start a new life away from Cam’s family. After one of Cam’s alters cut himself, he was put into a hospital that specialize in DID. Cam continues to deny this is real and persists on believing he’s just crazy; his condition worsens. After Rikki finds a new friend to talk to and one of Cam’s alters frightens Kai, (although they tried their best to shield Kai from Cam’s condition for many years)
The novel clearly stresses the importance of understanding someone’s life before we judge their
Neal Shusterman published Unwind on the date of November 6, 2007. Unwind is a dystopian/science fiction novel based over a very controlling, gruesome society after a war - known as the Second Civil War or the Heartland War - somewhere in the near future. The society turned out this way because there was to be no more abortions or giving up children. Now that there is no more of this, people found ways around the rules, such as “storking” (leaving baby on someone’s doorstep). If caught “storking” a baby, the parent must keep the baby.
The text is heartfelt, raw and compelling; a must read for people young AND old. Lee explores a variety
The journey I was taken on while reading the novel had a beneficial effect on myself, expressed significance to the world about a common topic and showed how the main character gradually changed throughout the story. I felt
He also grows to love a baby, Gabe who his father takes home from the place where all the new children stay until they mature. Grabe isn’t growing up well, therefore he will get killed if Jonah doesn’t stop
The society in this book is basically the epitome of a dystopia. It has a totalitarian government and everything about the world the people live in is a frightening nightmare. The government has completely dehumanized the way people live their lives. People in this dystopia aren’t even actually human any more. They aren’t even born the natural way through reproduction, they are created.
Then he realizes that he was not going to stay with his money when he die. At the end, he helped his employee with a monetary situation. Further, he went to his nephew’s Christmas dinner. Significantly, this novel helps people retrain the meaning of being humble and kind with others. Something that is very important about this novel is that it teaches a lesson of helping others, because you are not going to stay with your money when you die.
A deceiving student, Macca, dominates both Ruth and fellow victim, Philip. No one attempts to control this, not even Mrs Canmore who only warns the bullies. One student, Ruth, comes from a tough background; she is a soldier against the Macca War. Despite the consequences, Ruth becomes a quiet hero; this inspires the audience. Throughout the story, the author portrays Ruth as a shred of hope for the other characters.
This earns her Irene’s compassion, empathy and closure. Irene portrays her as an emotionless and catlike creature who has a difficult emotion to understand. Perhaps her father’s death has altered her psychology, hence making her more prone to danger. Clare searches for thrill by chasing after danger and freedom to make her life more exciting and fill the void created by her race and the death of her father. Her daringness gives her courage to pass, which she considers a way to tackle the obstacles her race exposes her to.
When someone is alive people do not see the value of life and how precious it is, they do not realize it until it is too late. Many people would not notice such a small moment like this in their lives and would take it for granted. However, the characters seen in the novel treasure every moment similar to how they treasure life. They are able to see the value of life and how each person 's struggles has helped them heal. People are able to see that the obstacles an individual faces, which leads them to survival.
I also agree with the opinion that suffering might never end, like the novel indicates through imagery at the very end. The author manages to combine happy moments with sad ones even though the sad ones takes the larger share. In addition, he accomplished his aim of having an audience that is glued to the book all along sine it is both engaging and informative. The author has a perception that the world is composed of more bad things than the good ones. This novel will be important to me as I explore the themes of post-apocalyptic fears and human struggles.
It taught me that strength and perseverance can make a significant impact in life. I also learned that forgiveness and the ability to forgive is much more powerful than I ever realized. This novel sucked me into the story and its characters and took me on an emotional ride of highs and lows. Finally, it forced me to reevaluate my previous judgement of the homeless.
It sets up a reader for thier future and what is to come: grief. The story shows how our relationships to others vary from person to person. People are caring and selfish, sympathetic and indifferent, hopeful and completely discouraged. Like any story, the readers gain their own lessons, but still explore the universal themes of loneliness, companionship, love, loss, and death. It shows us that grief can overtake us, as well as looking for an unapproachable
