Connor believes that the admiral is using the kids to gain money by sending them out to do physical labor for them and then giving them the reward of "18 year old identities"
How does Roland unsettle Connor? P206-207
I think Roland unsettles Connor by all of the knowledge he has about the place already even though they haven't been there that long. I think Connor starts believing what Roland says because so many of the things line up.
P208-209 detail Lev's arrival, and Connor's reaction. Make sure you fill in your character profiles for both characters.
When Connor sees Lev he has the mixture of happy and mad, because of all of the things he has done to Connor like bite him and rat him out. Lev seemed happy to see Connor and smiled as soon as he spotted him and went to walk to him. Connor them proceeded to punch him in the face with anger then hug Lev tightly.
P214-215 Connor learns the truth about the Admiral here. How does the Admiral gain Connor's trust?
While Connor and the Admiral were having a conversation one time, Connor bursts and speaks everything he has seen in attempt to catch the Admiral off guard and admit it. Connor said the he new the Admiral pick and chose who got unwound to get the body parts he wanted like his teeth for example, but the Admiral proves Connor wrong by taking out his dentures and explains that the kid in the photo is the Admirals son.
What, according to the Admiral, is it that Connor is becoming famous for in the Graveyard?p212

What happens to the Goldens?p217
The golden's were stuffed into the same crate that the original five kids suffocated in on the trip to the graveyard. The Golden's also suffocated.
How does Roland begin to assert his power in the Graveyard? (you'll need to look throughout the section)
Roland asserts his power by telling everyone that he was chosen specifically by the Admiral to be the Co-Pilot of the helicopter. They become impressed by him because of his age but he also offers out free rides which gets everyone to favor him over others.
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.
In the heartland war, there were three sides, the Life Army, the Choice brigade and the remains of the American military, the Admiral was on the military's side. The whole heartland war began because of an argument which had then turned into a war. One side was Going againsed abortion and murdering abortion doctors to get their point across and the other side was getting pregnant and selling fetal tissue. The military proposed the idea of "Unwinding" and both sides agreed.
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 it kind of works having it as a single generation before hand because it helps tie in the fact that not many people know what happens inside of a harvest camp and they only signed it because it sounded right and it would also stop the fights.
What job does Lev volunteer to do? P236
He volunteers to help work on the oil pipelines.

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 he has done this so then we can see the story from a P.O.V of someone that isn't really a main character. By doing this we get more information about the story of things that Roland has dome without us knowing. All of the things he has done was to help get everyone in the Graveyard onto his side just in case something went wrong and he need people to back him up and make him look more powerful .
