Part One Triplicate
1.How much brainwashing do you think has happened for teenagers to make this sort of claim as they’re being led to their "death"? A lot because they think they will still be alive just living in a divided state.
2.Why, do you think, has Shusterman chosen to have three characters tell their story?
I think Shusterman chose to have three characters to show the different perspective of unwinding.
3. Lev is a tithe. This means that he is the 10% that his family will give back to the church as an offering. What are your thoughts on this? I think because Lev's family is rich they should've used money instead of Lev as a tithe.
4. Rita is a state home kid - she was unwanted at birth, and now the state have decided she is no longer useful. Do you think that the state should ever be able to determine if one life is more useful than another? No, I think the state shouldn't determine and compare if a children is useful or useful than the other, because everybody is useful in a different kind of way.
5. Connor's parents have chosen to unwind him due to his difficult behavior. They have then booked a ticket to the Bahamas. In your opinion, how do parents view their children? Why do you think this? I think Connors parents views him as a pet, a pet that is once cute and adorable but not anymore so giving that pet away is much very useful for others. His parents thought because of his difficult behavior they are not capable to take care Connor (pet) anymore so they just offered him to be unwound.
6.Pastor Dan presents as being conflicted. What reasons might he have to encourage Lev in his journey as a tithe? Why does he encourage him to run? I think Pastor Dan encouraged Lev to run because he want Lev to survive and not get offered as a tithe. Pastor Dan knew that Lev's parents is wrong and offering a child is wrong. Pastor Dan believed that any child should not be used as an offering or a sacrifice .
7.What is the story based on a nursery rhyme that circulates among the youth?
Humphrey Dunfee is a nursery rhyme that is used to scare kids from being unwound
