Unwind - Storked

"You can't change laws without first changing human nature." - Nurse Greta
"You can't change human nature without first changing the law." -Nurse Young


  1. Risa overhears two nurses debating law and human nature. Which argument do you think is the stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. I agree with the first statement about changing human nature first. I think this is more stronger because how are you supposed to change the laws without first making a realization that you need to change human nature? If you change the laws it wouldn't necessarily change human nature either.
  2. This section opens with a mother abandoning her newborn infant on the doorstep of a house in a good neighbourhood. As she leaves, she thinks "How wonderful it is that she can get a second chance. How wonderful it is that she can dismiss her responsibility so easily."  In your opinion, by allowing new mothers to give up their children so readily, does it take away from the value of a child?  I think by giving up your child so readily it does take away the value of a child and they could just be seen as an object passed around.
  3. What is the role of a mother? Do you think the title of mother is something that should be earned, or a natural right of the woman who gave birth? A role of a mother is for someone to look after you and raise you as well as they can. Although the title of a mother is a natural right I think that the mother should earn the title
  4. What skills or attributes do Connor and Risa have that work well together?   Risa thinks smart while Connor thinks fast

5. Connor and Lev have very different experiences with storking. How has this helped shape each of their attitudes toward the society they live in? It has help shaped their attitudes because they have both had experiences that make them realize the danger and the affects of storking

6. Connor is concerned the baby won't be loved, and ultimately will die, so he takes it. What does this show us about him as a person?   That connor is empathetic

7. What makes Lev realise he doesn't want to be unwound? P79  Because pastor dan doesn't think he should be unwound and he realizes he has a life ahead of him
8. Each of the other characters on the run has a tragic background story. Why were Hayden, Roland and Mai set to be unwound? Which, do you think, is the most tragic? Explain your response. Haydens paerents were fighting over custody and couldnt decied so they sent him to be unwound. Mais parents wanted a boy and not a girl. Roland beat up his stepfather for beating his mum but his mum took her husbands side. I don't think i could chose what one is most tragic a they are all as bad as each other

9. What tattoo does Roland have? A shark tattoo on his arm
