School uniforms are a waste of time and money.
Interestingly, most people think that School uniforms are not a waste of time and money. Some of the reasons why School uniforms are a waste of money and time are the financial problems some parents can afford school uniforms however many families have problems affording school uniforms, such as, jackets that cost more than they can afford. Secondly, a reason why School Uniforms are waste is the fact that you will outgrow your uniform having to buy a new one is a waste of both your time and money. This evidence shows that School Uniforms are a waste because they waste your money which you can spend on better things like groceries and food.

UNWIND Creative Writing

How would you feel if you were in an accident or had a rare disease, and you could be cured only if your damaged organs were replaced by parts taken from unwound teens? What would you choose to do? What if you were certain to die if you refused the parts? What if it wasn't you, but someone you loved (a parent, a sibling) who was in an accident? Would your answer be different?
I was in a Car Crash, Unfortunately, a piece of metal pierced my one of lungs. I quickly got rushed to the hospital, where I woke up with my family around me. I was asked if I wanted to replace my lung to a healthier one using Unwound teens. My thought process goes through different kinds of reasons and consequences if I might take or reject the given lung to me. My family asked me to make a choice since they didn't want to force me into anything. I thought about my family first how they would react to this, they wouldn't want me to die but at the same time, they wouldn't want another person's organ inside me. My thought about this would be how I needed to leave my family if I wouldn't take the organ but as time went on I wouldn't want someone else's organ since they are either forced to do it or forced to believe it was a good thing. My final decision was to not take it since I didn't feel like having another person's lung especially if it's someone who is forced into donating their organs. Even if my life is at stake I would still reject it because I would just feel uncomfortable knowing that somebody else's organ is inside me.

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."
