Novel Study - Unwind - Part 7, Consciousness

How is it that Connor was not unwound? p318
- Connor wasn't unwound because he had another I.D of a security guard that was 19. He looked quite similar to the man and was given that identity to hide him from being unwound.

Whose arm does he now have? P319
- Connor has a tiger shark tattoo which belonged to Roland, who was unwound in part 6. He has Roland's arm, as his arm was blown up and amputated.

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?
- I think it was an ethical choice because even though she could've walked again she chose not to because it was from an unwound. I think the advantage of not being unwound was something she found out or realised and thought it was a good cover for her story. As someone who saw people going to their "deaths", she must've been a little scared by this incident even more than before, so she didn't want the spine, knowing that that could've been Connor or her. 

Since the explosions at Happy Jack, what have people been doing? What has Cy-Fi's role been in this? P325
- Since the clapping incident at Happy Jack people have been protesting at Washington and realising that unwinding isn't a good thing. Cy-Fi's role in this has been testifying before congress. Because of all of this the government is starting to think about changing the legal age from 18 years old to 17 years old.

Lev's parents disown him. Who is trying to become his guardian? P328.
- Because Lev's parents disowned him, his brother Marcus is trying to get custody of him instead of him being sent to a state home. His brother was also disowned by his parents.

Why has Pastor Dan resigned? P329
- Pastor Dan resigned because he didn't believe in a God who tithed. He didn't lose his faith, he just lost his convictions in believing in that part of God.

P331-332 explain what has happened to Harlan Dunfee. What do you think about the Admiral and his wife's plan? Was it what you expected?
- Harlan Dunfee wasn't put together in the way everyone thought. Instead of killing the people who had his parts, they instead, held a party for his 26th birthday. They invited everyone who had his body parts to celebrate this all together as they all had a part of him.

- I think their plan was a pretty surprising plan as to when we are introduced to Harlan's story we learn that his parents went Insane. Instead, they just wanted to see their son again because they were forced to unwind him due to the society that they lived in. It wasn't what I expected because as I said before, his parents were explained to be "insane" when in reality they were just regretful. 

Who takes over the graveyard? P331

- At the end of the book, we find out that Risa, Connor, and Hayden stayed at the Graveyard to help the other unwinds that have escaped to let them have another chance. We find out that Connor becomes the leader of the graveyard to help people fight against unwinding in a more humane way, unlike clappers.
