Unwind second lit-discussion post

      This literary discussion was better than the first. We talked about the important events, clarified parts that were confusing, and gave our opinions on the events that happened. 

      Our group talked a lot about the events that are leading up to the climax. We talked about how tension between Connor and Roland are growing. There was a part in the story when Connor locked Roland in a crate and threatened him with a gun to get Roland to tell the truth. I think that Roland might try to kill Connor later on in the story because Roland is always planning his next move to be more powerful. Roland said, "Your're the Akron AWOL?!" The Arkon AWOL was a rumor that unwind were passing around about a boy who escaped from ten cops while rescuing two other unwinds (Risa, and Lev). When we were talking about this, I said that since Connor now seems more powerful than Roland, he will be Roland's next target. 

      There were some parts of the story that were a bit confusing, so we all reread it and worked it out. Ebone wanted to clarify a part where a kid named Ci-Fy had a temporal lobe transplanted into his brain. Ci-Fy had two personalities one was Cyrus and one was Tyler. When Ci-Fy got home the parents of Tyler and the parents of Cyrus were there. Ebone asked, "Did the parents live next door?" We all reread that part and came up with the idea that since Tyler was in control, Cyrus thought that Tyler's dad was also his dad. We were all confused, but when we went back and reread it, it made more sense.

      There were a lot of opinions that were expressed during this lit-discussion. Some people in the group thought the Admiral was bad and that he was secretly manipulation the unwinds there. I thought that the Admiral was a really great person from the start. There are probably some people in the graveyard that don't like the Admiral, so they start spreading rumor. The Admiral in charge of about 400 unwinds, and also declares himself dictator. He's bound to have some enemies, so all the bad things are probably just rumors. We also talked about Risa. Everyone thought that she was the reason that Connor hasn't been unwound yet. Risa always gets Connor out of trouble and is a great influence. Risa has gotten Connor to control his temper and be a better person. 

      Overall, this lit-discussion was far better than the second. I learned a lot more, and also got some insight on how my group mates felt about that characters. I hope the next discussion will be better.
