Unwind Blog #5 (Neal Shusterman) Pages 265-335

This book was amazing! I really didn't expect it to end like this! The whole time there were twists and turns and you thought how re they going to wrap this up in the end but I think they did a great job of it. The most significant thing that they talked about in this part of the book was the actual act of being Unwound. When you are actually Unwound it is a very secretive and very scary experience! They describe it as going under like to have a surgery but you are actually awake. When the bill of human laws was passed, it said that when you are Unwound you have the right to know what is happening to you. The thought of this is very strange, I personally would not want to know what was happening to me just because I feel like it would be very nerve racking and scary if you were awake. Like you can even talk to the people once you are put down. It is a very strange experience that is hard to describe. You are probably thinking, you can feel all of this right? But no you cant! They inject this weird stuff into your blood stream that acts as blood! The whole thing is very hard to describe, the narrator says at one point, "It felt as if my legs began to tingle, then I realized they were removing my legs" (Shusterman 294). That is so weird! I cant imagine a world where stuff like this can happen. This book really was an incredible read! I really enjoyed this book and would defiantly recommend.
