So far I have liked that they all went to a harvest camp. I think that this is an interesting new setting because this is a place where we didn't really expect them to end up and now
ReplyDeleteI think that there is going to be a big climax that results in Connor, Risa and Lev escaping from the harvest camp."Before we begin our session, i feel it's important to remind you that although you've developed a friendship with the so-called Akron AWOL, it's in your best interest to dissociate yourself from him." I think that this quote is important because it shows that the people at the harvest camp view Connor as a threat. they seem to want to isolate him from people that he knows so that he cannot overpower the harvest camp workers in any way.
So far I've really liked the book. I liked the part about the mob and about the graveyard falling apart. It was interesting how everyone was quick to jump on a rumour and how they destroyed their safe place. I'm really interested to learn what will happen at the harvest camp. I think they'll definitely get away but i'm not sure how. The quote I've chosen is, "Who says they don't see it? It's just that unwinding makes slavery look good. It's always the lesser of two evils." This quote really stuck out. It points out how unwinds are willing to do pretty much anything to avoid being unwound. Unwinding will always be the greater evil to them.

I like that when you look back to the start of the book you can see the character development of Connor and Lev. Risa has almost stayed the same, but Connor and Lev have almost switched. Connor has become more caring almost, it is like he wants to help everyone instead of fight them all. Lev has gone from and innocent tithe to someone who is on edge and ready for a fight. After being on the streets he developed a street sense and that is what has helped him survive. My question is, How did Cleaver and the other two get five goldens in a box? When I read this I was confused as to how it was a three on five. Did they knock them out? Drug them? The quote I chose was "It's not Connor's imagination." This is the part where Connor thinks he sees Lev at the camp. This is foreshadowing a big event. What happened to Lev after he left the graveyard? How did he get to this point?

I like how even though there in the harvest camp, Lev who was really timid and wanted to get unwound is making plans to not get unwound and he still is trying to do something about it even though all the odd are not on is side. my question would be will the part of the world still find the idea of unwinding kids and good idea when they are rebilling against.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how the characters changed and developed over time rather than staying the same. At the beginning of the book Lev was an innocent tithe who would do no wrong. Now, at the end of the book, he is more of a rule breaker with a more confident attitude. As for Connor, he became the opposite of what Lev became. Connor became more soft and showed more emotions. After reading the book, my question is what will happen to the rest of the kids at the harvest camp? will they be saved? A quote I liked from the book was "By law, we're required to keep you conscious through the entire procedure." This is said during Roland's unwinding and it helps me understand the process of unwinding better.
