Whose arm does he now have? P319 Connor recieved an arm from Roland

On p321 Risa tells Connor how she won't be unwound. Do you think her decision to not accept the spine of an Unwind was purely ethical, or was she also playing the system in order to stay alive?

Part Six Unwound

Part Six 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 harvest camp is nestled in Happy Jack Arizona in a pine covered ridge, the sedating forest give way the red mountains of Sedona a very scenic place for a purpose, it is also built like a hotel filled with bright pastel colors with minimal red colour because red is phsycologically associated with anger, aggression and blood. The Boys dormitory is painted light blue with a hint of green and the girls dormitory is painted lavender, with pink. The staff is wearing a Hawaiian shirts except for surgeons their scrubs are sunshine yellow.

2. What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269 The exact percentage of body parts that should be kept alive is 99.44% because of the appendix having no purpose in the body.

7. Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this? Roland is called for unwinding because of his blood type being an AB negative. Due to his blood type being rare they are unwinding him as soon as possible.

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? Yes it's necessary because Shusterman want to show what it's like to be unwound.
Why do you think Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed? Shusterman did this so that the readers have an information of what's gonna happen, what would unwinding look like in they're own point of view. Shusterman may also did this to show Roland's past so that the readers may change their opinion about unwinding Roland.

Do his memories alter how you view him?  
Roland's memories made me think what it's like to be him. I also got pity for Roland because of his past, because of the reason why he's getting unwound.

9. Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310
Lev did'nt clap because he knows what they are doing is wrong and he also wanna save connor like connor save him.

Medical Science

  The Major Components of Human Blood

Plasma: When plasma is centrifuged. The blood plasma is a light yellow liquid, similar to the color of straw. Along with water, plasma carries salts and enzymes. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it.

Platelets: Platelets are tiny fragments of cell. They are the cells that are responsible for creating a blood clot when you get a cut on your skin. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. They also send out chemical signals to attract more platelets to pile onto the clot in a process called aggregation.



White Blood Cells: White blood cell are the cells that are responsible for fighting infection and disease. The number of white blood cells increases when a person is fighting an infection or a disease and decreases when a person is healthy.


Red Blood Cells: Red blood cells are  contain a chemical called hemoglobin that carries oxygen around your body. Red blood cells are made inside your bone, the Bone marrow.

The Mechanics of Breathing 

When breathing in the diaphragm contracts to expand the chest cavity. The Diaphragm then flattens and moves downwards. The air then moves through your windpipe which is called the Trachea. The Trachea which then divides into two passage ways, the Bronchi. The air which then moves into a more narrow and tighter space that is called the Bronchioles. At the end of the Bronchioles there is a group of tiny air sacs. These air sacs have bulges called Alveoli, to increase their surface area and speed up the absorption of oxygen. In the alveoli the Carbon Dioxide that comes from the body switches up with the Oxygen that came from your Trachea, after the switching process we breathe out thus making our diaphragm relaxes and returns to its original position pushing the Carbon Dioxide out from the body.

Child Trafficking

Child Trafficking 

Child Trafficking is the action of illegally kidnapping or relocating children for the purpose of sexual exploitation or child labour. Child Trafficking occurs because of poverty, war, natural disasters, and a search for a better life. Human Trafficking occurs around the world but the countries that are the worst for Child trafficking are Belarus, (CAR) Central African Republic, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Sudan, Syria, and Venezuela. Child trafficking is unacceptable and children are getting exploited sexually and being forced into prostitution. Because of forced prostitution children are getting treated badly, brain illnesses like Trauma are common amongst  victims of human trafficking. Still to this day many children are getting used for sex slavery or prostitution

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.  
At first the people thought there we're only 2 sides of the war the pro-life and the pro-choice but there is a third side, the side who wants to prevent both sides to fight each other using the military . The bill of life started as a joke but after that a scientist won a Nobel Piece Prize for his study of Neurografting. Neurografting is when all body organs of the donor is used for a transplant. Until the side in the middle suggested "Unwinding" getting rid of unwanted children and donating their organs for people who need it. The both sides was happy about the idea and eventually signed a law about unwinding.

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?

SEEL PARAGRAPH

Recruiting a children and using it for military purposes is harmful for the community and the children themselves. It affects the community and the children because of what can the damaged can be done to the society and the families . A lot families will grief for there children, because most of the children are in risk of dying. Approximately 10 000 children die because of getting involved in a war. Child Soldiers are also known to get treated violently. Child soldiers are suffering to sexual harassment, bullying, unlawful treatment, and psychological illnesses for example Trauma. Most children who witnessed death in front of their eyes will likely to suffer from that illness Trauma. One of my research say's they joined the military group known as the Anti-Balaka because they want to avenge their family members. Because of their anger burning to their heart they end up joining the group voluntarily .This takes away they're Human Rights by not having a life of a child, the freedom they want, the freedom for them to play and to make they're own decision, it also takes away their right to be educated. Like the children in Central Africa. Children are used because they are easier to manipulate and they are also compliant or obedient. Children are recruited in Middle East, Africa and Asia. Children are not used for war and violence, children are supposed to be free and living the life of a child. A child that has the right to play freely and to be educated, but because of these cruel behavior of ours we are putting our future to a great danger. Don't wait.. Act now.
