Unwound In The Book Unwind

Unwind The novel Unwind tells a very intricate story about a society that is currently under war and needs to develop a solution that will complete the needs of everyone. What is the solution to this war? Unwinding, or the dismembering of body parts to be reused to save the lives of others. Although Unwinding is an unbelievable act, the believed “Utopian” government says unwinding is useful because body parts can be used to save the lives of others. Connor believes the act of Unwinding is unnecessary and destroys the flow of the universe. Although the body parts are used to save the lives of others, the act of unwinding can be compared to death because the body of someone being unwound is no longer together and operating as one.

Unwinding is the main conflict in the novel. On one hand, it is a plus for society. It allows for parts to be reused to save lives of others that usually wouldn’t make it, but it risks the lives of others to be unwound.

This was, in a way, a gain for him because he gained a talent he was never capable of doing before. On the other hand, CyFi, Cyrus Finch, was a victim to the idea of unwinding. He received a right temporal lobe from an unwind after being in a hiking accident. Although he received a replacement, it had its downside. The right temporal lobe still had the control and memory of the previous owner. During the novel, this replacement part leads him on a journey across the nation to the house of the previous owner. The previous owner makes him commit actions that CyFi would normally not perform. Ultimately, the previous owner tries to take over without understanding he is unwound. Another conflict in the novel is the action of storking. Storking, in the novel Unwind, is identified as a process of giving up or “ditching” your child to another person’s doorstep. Once this person realizes that a baby is on their doorstep it becomes their child instantly. Once again this creates a solution to unwanted children that are infant and are not wanted by their mothers. Although this is great in some scenarios, it also has its impacts. Once again, Neal Shusterman, in Connor’s perspective, narrates a story about a family with “already two natural kids” and how when the “baby shows up at the door, the parents started freaking out” (21.3%). The baby is passed around from doorstep to doorstep in hope of finding a family that will take it in, but the Lassiter’s are the last ones to have it. When the baby ends at their doorstep, it has diseases and malnutrition from being
