Theme Of Unwind
The themes in unwind consist of: the value of human life, government control, and parenthood. The themes in never let me go include: friendships, lies and deceit, identity art culture, freedom confinement, passivity and memories of the past. Both stories of some of the same qualities such as organ donors, finding their place in life, fear of death, humanity and souls. Both stories humanity is, and finding who they really are in their life are the main similarities.
“The souls have always been there an unresolved question of humanity and people have taken advantage of this fact to disguise unethical decision they made in their favor.” Neal Shutter man (unwind pg. 172). In unwind you cannot be unwound when you are the age of 18. In never let me go the students/clones find out from the beginning that they live their life to be organ donors, and have to do so

They wish to find their own meaning in life and not have to worry about what awaits them. Even though they may fear death they most likely will live but unwinds will have all of their body given. In both stories they both want to fit in with society, not confound to the fate they are given, chance of freedom, and an actually life as a human being as whole. Both unwinds and clones want to experience life to the fullest. Both are controlled by an authority, and obligated by society to do their part as given. The society is controlled by power, order, and the meaning of humanity. In unwind it is questionable if unwinds have a soul but some know they have a soul. In never let me go they have artwork do to prove that the human clones have a soul. Fearing death is a normal part of life we all go through. It lets you know that you have a soul even if you are a clone or unwound, feelings love emotions make you human. No one can ever tell you that you’re not human and that you don’t have a

    The themes both gave the message that even thought you have friends, not all of them can be trusted and may end up turning their backs on you in an instant. For the settings, both of the main characters were stuck some how and had no way of getting out of their situations. Lastly the conflicts both dealt with that the characters had to fight on their own in the end even though one of them had to option of help.

    Recently I have read the book Unwind, by Neal Shusterman. It takes place in the future, where there is an abundance of children and over population. Because of this issue, the government decided to create a law saying that you can get your child between the ages of thirteen and eighteen “unwound.” This means that a medical professional can surgically remove your body parts, while you’re still alive, but you never feel a thing. This also means that you are alive in pieces.…

    Laura Hillenbrand’s monumental Unbroken is a true story of a promising young Olympic runner from Torrance, California. This promise was soon broken because of the upcoming Second World War, a time period of ferocity and sadism.

Post-war life had many survivors on another set of problematic and unforgettable experience. Most Americans initially viewed their place in the postwar world with optimism and confidence.

    There are many circumstances in which change occurs; change can either be sought after or forced upon. In Thing Fall Apart, change is forced upon the Ibo people by the white missionaries who inhabit Umuofia. In The Life of Olaudah Equiano and The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, both Equiano and Douglass seek change by pursuing their freedom. In most cases, people tend to accept the changes they seek. However, when change is forced upon people, they may not always have the freedom to choose to accept or reject such changes. In Thing Fall Apart, change is both rejected and accepted by Okonkwo and the osu, respectively. In The Life of Olaudah Equiano, Equiano naturally rejects the involuntary changes he has to endure as a result of…

    And my conclusion is I particularly don’t have a problem with organ donation, if you aren’t using the organs why not help someone else so they can have a second chance at life. I believe in recycling so why shouldn't someone have another opportunity to live. As long as the proper consent issued there shouldn't be any problems. Also I feel as though organ donation does not disturb any ethic beliefs because it is a chance for some people to live healthily again. To answer the topic question ethics provide boundaries so we won’t go too far with our medical advancements so they should dictate to a certain…

    In the United States alone, one hundred and thirteen thousand people wait desperately for the availability of organs, while the “three thousand death row prisoners [alone make]…the answer… clear: Allow for the donation” (Perskey 18). Some argue that of the three thousand available organs, many would remain ineligible for donation due to disease, complications, and lack of consent. However, if even one third of death row inmates actually donated their organs, up to eight thousand citizens could be saved. Furthermore, while some critics hold that those waiting on transplant lists may not accept organs from prisoners, multiple polls by the American people have demonstrated the widespread support of inmate organ donation. For example, in a survey “conducted by MSNBC news organization in April of 2011, almost eighty percent of [the] eighty six thousand seven hundred and thirty six voters responded ‘yes’ to the question, ‘Should death row inmates [have the option] to donate their organs?” (Lin et al). Moreover, when asking patients in need of organs through the active organ waiting list, seventy-five percent of respondents indicated that they would graciously accept an organ donation, whether from a prisoner or otherwise (Lin et al.). Therefore, the prisoner population within the United States could save…

    In my society, the fear of being unwound is constantly hanging over our heads. We never know if the mistake we just made will be the one that sends our parents over the edge. We never know when or if our days are numbered. You’d think that would cause us all to behave like angels, right? No. You stoop to the level people expect of you and in the world I live in, people expect the worst. I know I can be more than I am but everyone around me holds me back with their unfair and asinine accusations.…

    Humans have a specific, internal tendency to desire what they cannot have and attempt to do the inevitable which may lead to a drastic turn of events in their life. The only two choices of mortality lead people to make decisions through life with results of accepting or denying death. A mortal life represents a gift to all humans that they either abuse or use wisely. Through a psychological study, the surroundings of a person by animate or inanimate objects--the nature vs. nurture effect--impacts the path a person will venture through. Whether it comes from “attitudes rubbing off”, or objects triggering emotions, a person takes upon the influence of who he/she want to become with the knowledge of mortality in the back of the mind. Because life for all people result in the acceptance or…
