Unwind P.T.4 Destinations

 

This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing?  Because the early version of Lev wouldn't be trying to sell a stolen item and it is also showing that him hanging out with Ci-Ty has been affecting the way he has been acting.

While being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "Would it be better to die or be unwound?" If given the choice, which would you choose? Why? This response requires more than one or two sentences! Put forward at least three reasons why you think what you do. I would rather die.

I chose die because i personally don't like the idea of my body parts being accessible for other peoples use. Another reason is that in the story if kids were running away from being unwound, it hints that it isn't a pleasant thing to happen so i would be on the same mindset. and the last reason is that it would be much more fun to run away from it and possibly die than to just go straight to the harvest camp and be unwound.

Another question the kids in the book discuss is, "If every part of you is still alive but inside someone else, are you alive or are you dead?" They also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out, and if the soul remains intact. What do you think? Read Thomas Hobbes' Ship of Theseus puzzle to help you make a decision.

This section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin. As they get closer, Cy-Fi's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. What are some of the things he does, or things he likes, that are not his own behaviours or memories? He has memories of the place when he arrives even though he has never been there, he has a big urge to steal things, He started going slightly insane which these things wouldn't be his normal reactions to the things that are happening as he explains in the story.

What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194 

He was hiding a big box of jewlery.

The section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination. What do you think of his parents' behaviour? What does Lev's support show you about his character? 

His parents act kinda weird towards him being there but Lev is fully supportive which shows he still isn't fully changed and that he still cares about his close friends.
