Part Six - Unwound || Unwind 🤔

Connor and Risa are sent to Happy Jack Harvest Camp. Describe what it is like, and explain why it is like this.

Happy Jack Harvest Camp is described as a tropical resort. It is filled with bright colours and the "staff" are wearing happy floral and bright colours. It's basically trying to trick you into thinking it's okay to be unwound.

What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes?

It is 99.44% of an unwind that you have to keep alive. It's not 100% or you may as well leave the person living just as they are since they have all of their organs and their original parts.

What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs?

They call the place the "Chop Shop" which is quite funny.

Lev too is at Happy Jack, but as a tithe. Why is this?  

I think it's because he was born a tithe so he will stay one. I'm pretty sure it's down on his file or something and since he got "kidnapped" he is still classed as one.

Connor and Roland finally have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realise during this? 

Connor realises that he is the same height as Roland and that Roland doesn't tower over him as he thought and Roland knows he isn't a killer until he kills Connor - which he doesn't because he's scared.

What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?  

He joins the Clappers -which are like suicide bombers. I'm pretty sure Cleaver recruited him back at the Graveyard and they were going to carry their plan out at the harvest camp when someone (like them) got unwound or when they least expected it.

Roland is called for unwinding. Why is this?  

Roland is called for his blood type. Roland has a rare blood type that is in demand except I say they could of just let him donate blood instead!

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 it shows us Roland has feelings too and he isn't all as bad. It shows us he is a person too and he doesn't deserve it at all. Chapter 61 is a very touching chapter and I think it is necessary since it sort of redeems Rolands "bad" side and shows us his soft side. In my opinion, Shusterman put Roland's point of view in to see how he feels, and to show us how much he has been through.

Why does Lev decide not to clap?

I feel like because he isn't ready to go yet, yes he's been through so much but he is worth so much more and is way stronger. I think he realises God is wanting to keep him alive and he is better than taking his own life.
