UNWIND, Y U GOTTA END?

Unwind by Neal Shustermen gives a hint to rebellion and what is happening to the power of the child now. The author is trying to say that kids are the future so they need to find the will to fight for their right and that is what Conner, Risa and Lev is. The character symbolizes rebellion and the will to fight. They did everything they could throughout the book so they are able to survive and do what is best for them. In the end, Conner is running the Graveyard, where all the run away unwinds go and build up to start a rebellion to fight for their rights back.

All the character in the book have grown from where they were in the beginning. Conner is now able to control is temper. He is always being able to use his power to become a leader and the voice for all the unwinds, also he found someone to love. Risa had no one in the world and now she has everyone on her side, she always found what she is good at and what she is meant to be. In addition, she found her love and almost have everything she needs, mentally she has not changed a lot because she was always smart but now she learned how to trust others. Finally Lev have evolve the most. He is not as naive as he was in the beginning he knows what is going on in the world and what unwinding does to children. Instead of being scared, he faced all his trouble and became a hero and a leader all around the country for all unwinds.

In the book, Happy Jack Camp is where unwinds go to get unwound, it is not something everyone expect it to be. The place is full of bright colors and all the staff are happy. When Conner enters the place, for his punishment the staff told him nothing. Conner did not care as much but when Conner came, he was known as a legend. The staff did not like that because it is kinda of a threat and what Conner did might influence the others. At all times the kids are being watched and they are unable to argue or say anything or they will get unwind. That is somewhere no where wants to go.

Conner is like the leader of the rebellion. Risa is the brains, she thinks logically and keeps everyone calm. Lev is like someone he is the leader on the background who is learning and trying to fit in. They are all leaders.

This book is AMAZING.
