Unwind - Destinations


  1. This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing? It tells us that Lev is no longer as innocent as he used to be
  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 think it would be better to die then be unwound. I think this because there would be a lot less pain and process would probably be a lot quicker. Being unwound would be a lot harder to deal with instead of dying as your whole body would be cut off and handed out to everyone and I personally do not think that my body should be cut up and handed out without my expressed permission
  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?" They also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out, and if the soul remains intact. What do you think? Read Thomas Hobbes' Ship of Theseus puzzle to help you make a decision. Be sure to reference it in your answer!http://metaphysicist.com/puzzles/ship_theseus/ . I am not sure if consciousness can exist if spread out but I am leaning more towards no.
  4. This section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin. As they get closer, Cy-Fi's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. What are some of the things he does, or things he likes, that are not his own behaviours or memories? He acts like he knows the place, Twiching, Struggling to walk,
  5. What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194 A stash of shinny things
  6. The section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination. What do you think of his parents' behaviour? What does Lev's support show you about his character? Tylers parents look scared
