Neal Shusterman's Unwind

Nothing is a worth a human life, Neal Shusterman tests this theory throughout “Unwind”. Connor Lassiter, a teen who lives in a world where unwinding, or full body organ donating is not a choice. His first reaction is to run away, or go AWOL. He meets other AWOLS, some are welcoming, others not so much. Although Connor has gotten into numerous fights and has made mistakes, he comes back with compassion and redemption. Lev Calder, grew up in a family that built his destiny around unwinding. Both are equal people, but both have been brought up to think and act differently. Through their experiences, equality, and mistakes, readers understand that Shusterman’s expresses the idea of nothing is worth a human life. Situations have influenced
