Unwind Response Part 2

Upon reaching part two in reading and annotating the book “Unwind” by Neal Shusterman, a lot of surprises have popped out in the process. Lev, one of the main characters who almost led to an early unwinding for Risa and Connor, has reunited with them once again. They are now located in a unique warehouse that is used for airplane parts and unwanted airplanes. Another surprise is the person who is in charge of organizing all of this: a former admiral of the United States Army who instead of turning these runaway unwinds in, he has instead devoted his life to saving them until the age of eighteen, where they are free from unwinding.

Wherever there is good occurring, there is always some bad as well. The bad that is occurring in these thankful acts of by the admiral in this case is a character named Ronald. Ronald, a selfish enemy to almost everyone to the warehouse, has been able to convince so many kids of any idea he wants them to think. This sort of reminded me of the movie Inception, where the whole point of the title “inception” is to implant an idea within another person’s mind.

If I were to make a prediction on what is going to occur in the final part of this book, I predict that Ronald will do something unthinkable and try and take control of the warehouse. I have this idea in mind because throughout the time Connor and Risa are at the warehouse, they have been noticing that he is trying to “incept” other refugees there that the admiral is not really there to help them and that he is actually using them, much like a slave trader. This would be a good suspicion except Connor eventually has a meeting with the admiral and gains his trust and knows for sure the admiral has no such plans of using these fellow unwinds. I also predict that, like Connor’s suspicions, Ronald was the one who take those five casualties who played as the admiral’s ears and mouths, keeping a lookout of the warehouse and keeping everything in order. Now that Connor has secretly become one of these lookouts for the admiral, he has to be careful because Ronald is looking for more casualties.
