UNWIND Analysis Task
02/05/19, Thursday
1. Abandonment
Definition: An act or fact of abandoning or being abandoned.
People can feel abandoned in all sorts of situations. Basically, if you are abandoned, it means that someone has stopped to support you or to look after you.
Connor and Risa both experienced abandonment. They both knew how abandonment feels like.
Connor felt abandonment when Ariana decided not to come with him to run away.
"So you're not coming?"
"I want to, I really, really want to... but I can't."
"So everything we talked about was just a lie."
Risa felt abandonment when she was abandoned by the headmaster by unwinding her to lessen the population.
"We have to make room for every new ward."
"You do understand, don't you?"
"I'm being unwound?"
Silence. It's more of an answer than if they had said "yes."
2. Morality
Definition: Concerning the difference between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour.
In Unwind many people questions who gets to take a person's life? Is it fine to take a person's life without their consent? A constant question that the readers often think about when reading Unwind. Is it fine to take their life by being forceful about it? what about brainwashing them to think that it is good to let someone else take your life?.
When Risa's headmaster decided to unwind Risa. Risa thought is it okay for her headmaster to take away her life without her saying so. Risa thought about the choice of her headmaster to unwind her.
"You're a good musician, but..."
"As I said, you've reached your potential."
"As far as you can go."
"Perhaps if you had chosen a less competitive course of study."
Connor encountered the situation that his parents were gonna unwind him.
He turns to his father looking at him. Not just looking, but staring. He's going to tell me now, Connor thinks. He's going to tell me they're unwinding me, then break down in tears, going on and on about how sorry sorry sorry he is about it all. If he does, Connor just might accept the apology.
Lev is forced to believe that it was good to be unwind that it's an offering to the god.
The party is all for him. It's all about him. And he's determined to have the best time of his life.
"You don't have to bring anything," Lev had told them
"There are no presents at a tithing party. Just come and have a good time. I know I will."

UNWIND The Value Of Human Life
1/05/19, Wednesday
The Value Of Human Life.
What is the Value Of Human Life? Can we sell it for a price? Can we buy it? How do we know the value of it?. I think The Value Of Human Life is constantly brought up in unwind, in this society people don't think that human life has any value.
Pg. 198
"Your life is my gift to you. Treat it like one."
Pg. 167
Pg. 167
"If you die (instead of being unwound) at least you go to heaven."
Pg. 24
"Please, Miss Ward. It's not dying, and I'm sure everyone here would be more comfortable if you didn't suggest something so blatantly inflammatory. The fact is, 100% of you will still be alive, just in a divided state."

UNWIND Legality vs Morality
30/04/19, Tuesday
The Moral Side Of Murder:
Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do? Episode 01 "THE MORAL SIDE OF MURDER"
Task: Write a paragraph that put forwards your ideas in response to this - make sure you state what the consequences of each decision would be. Like the heckler in the theatre, see if you can come up with an alternative option.
The choice to save five people over one person is common. It's common to say that you would rather save five people since you can save more lives than lose more lives. Some people choose to save one person maybe because that person is important to them. If you can choose to save five people who you don't know or choose to save one person who is important to you like a family a friend.
For example, think of yourself as a doctor you have a choice to save one person or five people but in order to save the five people you need to provide healthy organs for them to be able to survive and a person who is sick but does have healthy organs can provide them, would you take them?.
Even though saving five people can have its advantages it can also have its consequences saving five people doesn't always work out it can cause you more trouble. Saving one person isn't the first option for certain people but there are still consequences you need to accept like if that person is your family or friend then you'll have more trouble.
My opinion is I would choose neither since I don't want to sacrifice anyone to save somebody else's life. I can only sacrifice someone's life if they are willing to do it.
LEGALITY VS MORALITY
Things that are legal aren't always morally correct. It's important that as citizens,
we constantly question laws that are passed, and why they're passed.
It's also important to think about legal loopholes that allow people to behave in a
legally correct manner, but potentially ethically wrong.
One of the central ideas in Unwind is the question of legality vs. ethics. Here, teens are dismembered while conscious, in order for their body parts to be used in saving someone else's life. This is legal and encouraged. However, we have to ask - is it ethically correct? Is it morally right to do this?
