Unwind Part 5 - Graveyard

Which job in the graveyard does Risa get assigned to? How does this come about? P201
Medic because she hels a kid with a nose bleed.

Why doesn't Connor volunteer for "work"? P205
Because he believes that the kids aren't actually doing work but that they're being used.

How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207
He offers Connor a deal of taking the admiral down together.

P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
His arrive was sudden and unexpected because Connor thought that Lev would've gone to be tithed.

P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?
He shares his backstory on his son Harlan Dunfree and that he got dentures made to look like his teeth.

What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212
Getting into fights.

What happens to the Goldens?p217
They suffocated in a crate that originally killed 4 people.

How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout the section)
He takes them on rides in the helicopter and slowly inserts ideas of the admiral into their minds so that they are suspicious of him.

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.  
During the heartland war, someone joked about terminating a pregnancy when a child was of age but once they found out that someone had actually perfected neurografting, the American military proposed that all the unwanted could be unwound which is said as living in a divided state, so both sides of the war liked the idea since no one would actually be killed. I think it was unfair and that it wasn't needed because of the neurografting technology originally being made to heal people.

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 so yeah because then we would have a better understanding of how people were affected when unwinding first became a thing.

What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236
Working on a pipeline in Alaska until he was 18.

Which part of Harlan Dunfree does Emby have? P240
His asthmatic lung.

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 it's so that we get to find out about how Roland thinks and the way he connects everything together.

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 because the unwinds believe that he works with the admiral.

What does the Admiral refuse on p255? What is the doctor's reaction to this?
A heart transplant from an unwind and the doctor just tells him that his chances of surviving are lowered.

Why does Roland have the Juvey-Cops called? P259 Why doesn't his plan happen? P260-1
He calls them so that Risa and Connor get unwound and since he would be giving them information on the graveyard, that they'd stop him from being unwound too. They just explain that they already knew about the graveyard and they could turn a blind eye on it but that they cant with unwinds right in front of them, which results in Roland being sent to a harvest camp with Connor and Risa.
