Unwind By Neal Shusterman

The book Unwind by Neal Shusterman is about the concept of unwinding an human being. Unwinding is the concept or process in which a child or teen’s organs and other parts of the body are taken out. These organs and body parts are then used to save other people’s lives. For example if a person doesn't have an arm then they could get an arm from an unwind. If someone is missing an organ then they could get one from an unwind. Many people may say or think if you unwind a person you are killing the person. However the government of this society says that they are still alive but just in a different way. Unwinding is not a good concept for many reasons. Some reasons is that there will be less jobs. If there are only good people in the society then cops won't be needed.

Although the government is saying they are technically alive they are actually not still alive, all the parts are not in one body. Another reason on why unwinding is bad is that the person being unwound could grow up and become someone famous or important. For example if a family decides to unwind their 10 year old boy, in the future he could grow up and cure cancer for example. Another reason on why unwinding is not beneficial is that the person receiving the parts will become a whole new person. For example when Cyrus got a part of a brain he became a new person. From time to time the brain told Cyrus what to do. The part of the brain told Cyrus to steal something from a store and it told him to go to Joplin. Another reason on why unwinding should not exist is that the parents that sign the unwind order might feel regret. The parents could feel regret because they had their own son
