Topic / Title - Stracey’s 100 word challenge

Stracey always wondered why no one ever went into Room 12, Now she knew.  It’s because the room is dangerous and scary so no one wants to go in there. Then last time someone went in there, they didn’t come back out, no one knows why. But Stracey went to figure out why it’s so dangerous. She slowly walked up to the door, when she opened the door she turned on her flashlight and slowly walked in and there she figured it out, there was a really deep hold that someone dug and everyone who walked into fell into it.

Part One - Triplicate

 Unwind

1 - How much brainwashing do you think has happened for teenagers to make this sort of claim they’re being led to “death”?

There must have had to be a lot of brainwashing, to make people of people feel like it has to be done and make then feel like their useless. The government from a young age could have shown tv commercials.

2 - Why do you think, has Shusterman chosen to have three characters tell their story?

So the reads can have three different points of view about being unwound, and if there was only one main character there would only be one point of view. To see the different ways and different reasons for being unwound.

3 - Lev is a tithe. This means that he is 10% that his family will give back to the church as an offering. What are your thoughts on this?

I think tithing and giving your kids up to be unwound is bad.

4 - Risa is a state home kid - she was unwanted at birth, and now the state has decided she is no longer useful. Do you think that the state should ever be able to determine if one like is more useful than another?

They should be able to find her a new home, instead of unwinding her just because she did something wrong.

5 - Conner’s parents have been chosen to unwind him due to his difficult behaviour. They have then booked a ticket to the Bahamas. In your opinion, how do parent view their children? Why do you think about this?

6 - Pastor Dan presents as being conflicted. What reasons might have to be encouraged? Lev in his journey as a tithe? Why does he encourage him to run?
