If I was to discover that I were to be unwound based on a decision my parents had made, I will feel both betrayed and heartbroken. In this position, I would try to escape and to live a new life in a far place. Though if I could not either escape or go along with it, I would gather other unwinds and protest against the present laws of the Bill of Life, to make others understand that unwinding is awful.

2. If I discovered I was in an accident or had a rare disease, and the only cure is by taking an unwinds organs to replace my damaged ones, I would feel uncomfortable. Although, I would also be very thankful, considering how, though with force, they gave their organs to save others.

There are similarities and differences from Lev’s journey with Cyrus to Joplin Missouri, in Unwind to Huck’s journey with Jim down the Mississippi River in novel Huckleberry Finn.

Such examples are that of the cutting down trees for our many purposes which destroys animals homes and our environment. Also by powering factories to make products, releases toxic fumes into our atmosphere.
