Unwind Part 6 - Unwound

Connor and Risa are sent to Happy Jack Harvest Camp. Describe what it is like, and explain why it is like this. P265-266
It was full of bright colours and the staff wore bright colours too. It also has a nice scenic view. I think it was to distract the unwinds from why they're there and so they don't fight the system of the harvest camp.

What is the exact percentage of the Unwind that you have to keep alive? Why is it not 100%, as Risa believes? P269

It's 99.44% which has to be unwound. It's not 100% because the appendix often isn't needed.

What do the unwinds call the place where unwinding occurs? P271

The Chop Shop.

Lev too is at Happy Jack but as a tithe. Why is this?

Because tithes are treated with caution because they're viewed as more healthy and superior so nothing would happen to him until it was his time to clap.
On p278 Connor and Roland finally, have the fight that's been brewing between them. What does each character realize during this?

That they'd rather be killed than unwound.
P284 - What group has Lev joined, who recruited him, and when will they follow out their plan?

He becomes a clapper with Mai and Blaine. They were recruited back to the graveyard by cleaver before he was killed.

Roland is called for unwinding on p286. Why is this?

He has a rare and expensive blood type.

Chapter 61 is arguably the most confronting chapter in the book. Here we have Roland's first-person narrative of being unwound. Do you think this chapter is necessary? Why do you think Shusterman chose to have Roland's experience detailed? Do his memories alter how you view him?

I think it was necessary because it shows how they're treated and what they're thinking about while it happens. It gives us an idea of what actually happens so we can decide how we view unwinding. I went from not really liking him to feeling bad for him because his memories showed that he was really scared and sad about being unwound.

Why does Lev decide not to clap? P310

Because he finds out Connor's there and he sees Connor go into the chop shop. He'd rather help Connor than explode.
