Unwind. Part TWO.

In the second part of Unwind by Neal Shusterman, shows a place where run away unwinds go to called the Graveyard. The place is ruled by a man called the Admiral. The unwinds are there to work until they are eighteen.

The Graveyard is kinda like the North during 1860 and the other part of the United States is like the South. Even though unwinding is not like slavery, it has some similarities because the kids are losing the control to do what they want with their bodies and having everything taken away. But the kids run away and hide underground, and in the story, the runaway unwinds were hid in underground tunnels, and it reminds me of slavery because slaves had to hid and run to freedom as well.

Roland who is a manipulative and power hunger young man searching to take control and have popularity in any way possible and everywhere he goes. He is threaten by Conner and hates the Admiral. The reason is he knows they have power and he wants it but the power is not easy for him to get. Roland has brainwashed all the unwinds in the graveyard to believe that the Admiral have killed Emby and is using the unwinds for his own good.  He is wrong, but none of them now that, and believes what Roland says because he is in charge. When the unwinds go into the desert and find the body of 5 dead unwinds who are the Goldens they all believe the Admiral killed them because of all the brainwashing Roland have done so the unwind started a riot. Even though Roland was not there to find the dead bodies or was there for the riot, he mentally started the riot because of all the negative words Roland have been saying about the Admiral.

Conner have grown a lot from the first part of the story, he is realizing his ability. Also, he stays to himself but he does have power, he is known to everyone and starts to control is temper. Also, he learns more about the Admiral, and he finally grows a heart because he learns to take care of people who he cares about and kinda understand why some people should be unwind. In addition, Conner have learn to be patient and remember Risa voice in his head, he has found something to live from and to keep him calm. He has grown into a man over the last few sections of the story.
