"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 stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. I think the stronger argument is "You can't change laws without first changing human nature." It's true that you can't change laws without changing the people first. People won't change if you change the law so you have to change people first. Some people don't follow the law the mother also said that the law doesn't know her and she won't follow it. Since the law isn't something every human follows and this is why we should change human nature first. The law won't have an effect if people don't follow it and it doesn't have a purpose if it doesn't mean anything to humans.
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?  The value of the child isn't taken away everyone has the right to life and every life should be valued.
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? I think that it is a title that should be earned you need to prove that you can take care of your child. You need to show that you care for your child and that you are willing to be with the child until the child is grown up to gain the title of a mother.
4. What skills or attributes do Connor and Risa have that work well together? They are both skilled at caring for themselves and being confident with themselves and this helps them move on and helps them on their journeys.
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? This helped shape each of their attitudes toward the society they live in since Connor learned that he shouldn't be unwound and he knows that the society isn't fair. Lev accepted that he is going to be unwound and he thinks that storking is something he should celebrate he thinks that society is okay and he is supposed to be unwound.
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?  It shows that Connor wants the best for everybody he doesn't want them to end up like him being raised by his parents but getting abandoned in the end.
7. What makes Lev realise he doesn't want to be unwound? When he found out that the 'Holy Mission' was a lie he started to feel confused and lost when Pastor Dan called Lev still believes that he is supposed to be tithed but when pastor Dan said "Don't you see Lev? You can save yourself. You can be anyone you want to be now." Lev started to think that he doesn't want to die.
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. I think the most tragic background story is Hayden's story. I think that it's sad that his parents divorced and that they wanted he to be unwound just because they don't want the other to take custody of him.
9. What tattoo does Roland have? He has a shark tattoo on his forearm.
