Unwind book post #2

            In this second lit circle group discussion on the novel Unwind by Neal Shusterman, we talked about what would happen and how the characters in the book might end up. We also wondered about some of their reactions to things. One of these questions and discussions was about Conner and how sometimes he couldn't control his anger at certain points. He would just turn around and get in a fight with someone for no apparent reason. I had a theory for why this was. A few chapters before this happened, a kid named Cyrus Finch (CyFi) was introduced in the story. He was kind and was always in good humor, but later on, he stole gold necklaces, Christmas ornaments, and other valuable items. Later on, we find out that CyFi had been given a part of someone else's brain when they got in an accident. That someone stole valuable items, so at certain points, CyFi would be controlled by that piece of mind and start to steal things and talk differently. This could have been what happened to Conner. Maybe he had been given part of someone else's brain, and that person got in a lot of fights or had mental problems where they couldn't be around crowds. This could have been why Conner would have sudden impulses to punch someone because they were being too loud.
            Something else that I wondered about why Lev all of a sudden hated his parents. They obviously showed that they didn't want Lev to be unwound, but when he realized that it was wrong, he said that he hated his parents and was surprised he meant it. My lit circle group said that Lev suddenly hated his parents because their religion was more important than Lev. They also said that he hated them for not being able to see that unwinding was wrong whether it was a religious matter or not. I think that these answers kind of answer my question on Lev and his parents, but it still makes me wonder why Lev was surprised to hear himself say that as well.
