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?

(This map shows the worst countries that uses Child Soldiers. This map also tells the ranking and category of the countries.) 



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.

2. While being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "Would it be better to die or be unwound?" If given the choice, which would you choose? Why? This response requires more than one or two sentences! Put forward at least three reasons why you think what you do.

I would rather donate my organs who will need it.

3. Another question the kids in the book discuss is, "If every part of you is still alive but inside someone else, are you alive or are you dead?"

PVA - Exercise #1

FROM THE VALUES YOU CHOSE, WRITE ABOUT THE TWO THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU	WHY IS THIS VALUE IMPORTANT TO YOU?	RECALL A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU REALLY ‘LIVED’ THIS VALUE.	IF THIS VALUE IS NOT BEING RESPECTED BY OTHERS, HOW MIGHT YOU FEEL OR REACT?
Trust	Trust is very important for me and for others. Trust is hard to give to somebody. Trust is just the same word as believing, if you have faith and believing on somebody they can use your trust and build up their confidence. If you trust on a people you believe they can do it. So that is why its important to me by trusting me and trusting my friends they build up my confidence and believe that I can do it.	In our Volleyball team I am about so serve people are shouting that I can do it and I can make the ball go over, at that moment I felt the trust of people on my back and my shoulders. After I served the ball I can believe we won everybody is shouting and yelling. At that moment I felt hype and relieved that I made it over.	I might get sad because without trust that person can't get enough confidence and that people might think of failure.
Friendship	Friendship is really really important for me because friendship can make memories happy memories. Friendship make people help each other. Friendship makes a bond so strong you can never broke it.	I felt friendship everyday I always feel the bond that we and I make. Everyday friendship run through me because I have the best friends that I could have.	Without friendship and it being disrespected I will get mad because friendship needs to be respected
