Unwind - Graveyard

1. Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201 Medic - because she helped a boy with a bleeding nose
2. Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205 Because he believes that the admiral is using people
3. How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207 The thought that he and Roland could work together and that they bot think something is wrong with the admiral
4. P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
5. P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust? That his the admirals teeth was actually a replica of his son and not an unwinds and the admiral also explains about how the money he earns goes back into the graveyard
6. What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212 Because he is constantly getting in fights
7. What happens to the Goldens?p217 The Goldens are all found dead in the crate that killed the first 4 people
8. How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout the section) Roland uses the fact he has a helicopter to "reward" kids in the graveyard and the he makes comments about the admiral
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. Because of the Heartand war people were dying and getting injured. Someone proposed the idea that pregnancy could be terminated radioactively when someone comes of age. At first it was a joke but turns out someone perfected neurografting (every part of the donor can be used in transplant). The American military proposed that idea to both sides of the war explaining it could get rid of unwanted without actually killing them and both side liked that idea. The bill of life came around meaning unwinding was legal. I personally think this idea was not necessary and should not of happened.
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? I think that there should be more generations before unwinding became a thing as it would make it seem like it wasn't a modern problem and actually a generational problem adding more depth into the book.
11. What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236 Lev volunteers to go to Prudhoe Bag in Alaska to work on the pipeline until he is 18 years old.
12. Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240 One of his asthmatic lungs
13. Chapter 39 is from Roland's point of view. Why do you think Shusterman changes the narrative here? What do we learn in this short chapter? I think Shusterman changes it to Rolands point of view so we could understand more what he is like in different situations. In this chapter we learn that he can connect lines to figure things out.
14. By the end of this section, things at the Graveyard have deteriorated, with the unwinds turning on the Admiral, and tearing the place apart. Which character is beaten to death on p250? Cleaver is beaten to death because the unwinds believe he works with the admiral
15. What does the Admiral refuse on p255? What is the doctor's reaction to this? The admiral refuses a transplant as it would come from an unwind. The doctor just sighs and points out the fact that his chances of surviving would be lowered
16. Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259 Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1 Roland calls the Juvey-Cops called so he can tell them about the graveyard and he could get out of getting unwounded. This plan doesn't happen as the cops already knew about this and they explained that they could turn a blind eye on the graveyard but the couldn't let someone in front of them get away. This means that Roland is getting sent with Risa and Connor to a Harvest camp to get unwound.
