Unwind 4/5

This blog is based off of pages 211-286 in the book "unwind" written by Neal Shusterman. Connor, Risa and Lev are all still in the graveyard. However, they never see each other. Connor is a mechanic, Lev is a message deliverer and Risa is a medic. The admiral's assistant named cleaver has a gang of kids who just cause mayhem. Lev is offered to join and he accepts. His joining this group shows that he desperately wants to be accepted even if it means joining a gang full of bad influences. Connor gets called to see the admiral. Roland tells him that the admiral looks for parts of an AWOL unwind and turns them in just to get their body parts and Connor believes him. This is showing that Connor is allowing Roland to get in his head and influence his actions. Connor does not trust the admiral and acts mean to him but the admiral just takes it and defends himself with facts. Connor finds out that Roland was lying and resents Roland even more then before. "For Connor, it's more then proof that Roland killed the Goldens- that he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants." (Shusterman 242). Roland and Connor are off fighting and Roland's lies have spread throughout the graveyard and a mob attacks the admiral's plane. The admiral is so shocked that he has a heart attack. The admiral would be dead but Connor came in and stopped the mob. This action shows that connor is growing to be more of a leader and is gaining more respect. Connor, Risa, Roland, and the admiral take a helicopter to the hospital where they are taken by the juvey cops. When Roland is told he will be taken to a harvest camp he rats out everybody at the graveyard. This shows that he can not be trusted with anything and he will do anything to save his own skin. Then Risa, Connor and Roland are finally captured and taken to a harvest camp called "Jack Happy Harvest Camp" where they will await their appointments to be unwound.

  4. Good job on this post! So it's hard for me to imagine what running away from being unwound would be like. I can only imagine how sleeping in a junkyard would be terrible. How would you feel if you were in Connors position?

  5. This post really goes into depth about the action that takes place in the reading. My question is who is in this mob that attacked the admiral?
