- What is the story based on a nursery rhyme that circulates among the youth? Humphrey Dumfee (Humpty Dumpty)
- Risa overhears two nurses debating law and human nature. Which argument do you think is the stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. I think that you can not change human nature with out first changing the law. I think this because it would be annoying if you were about to do something and then you find out that there is now a law that you cant do it which is not fair because they have not told anyone.
- This section opens with a mother abandoning her newborn infant on the doorstep of a house in a good neighbourhood. As she leaves, she thinks "How wonderful it is that she can get a second chance. How wonderful it is that she can dismiss her responsibility so easily." I think that this is not write because she will grow up not knowing who her mother or father is and if those people don't want the baby then it might just get passed from step to step so it is not a second chance at all.
- In your opinion, by allowing new mothers to give up their children so readily, does it take away from the value of a child? I think it does because that child will grow up and not know who there mother or fathers is which could then effect there learning because they might always be distracted and then if they get bad grades they will get unwound.
- What is the role of a mother? Do you think the title of mother is something that should be earned, or a natural right of the woman who gave birth? I think that it is something that should be earned because as we see in the book there are lots of mothers that are not ready and they just sit the babies on peoples doorsteps for others to take care of.
- What skills or attributes do Connor and Risa have that work well together? Risa was good with babies because she had to take care of some sometimes and Conner is good because he is pretty smart and he is also athletic.
- Connor and Lev have very different experiences with storking. How has this helped shape each of their attitudes toward the society they live in? Conner thinks that it is not right to stork babies which is why he went up to the baby on the step but then lev thinks it is ok.
- Connor is concerned the baby won't be loved, and ultimately will die, so he takes it. What does this show us about him as a person? He is very caring and he does not want the baby to just get passed around like the baby that was stroked on his street.
- What makes Lev realise he doesn't want to be unwound? When he calls pastor Dan he tells him that he was not telling him to run from Conner he was saying to run from them and thats when he realised that he did not wanted to be unwound.
- Each of the other characters on the run has a tragic background story. Why were Hayden, Roland and Mai set to be unwound? Which, do you think, is the most tragic? Explain your response. (Mai was getting unwound because her parents wanted a boy but they kept getting females so when they finally got a male they got rid of a lot of the females that they had.) (Hayden was sent to be unwound because his mother and father got divorced and they kept going to court over who had custody but it never got settled so they just divided to send him off.) (Roland got unwound because his stepfather abused his mum so one day he beat up his step father but then his mother took her husbands side and sent him off to be unwound.) I think that the most tragic one is Roland because he was trying to stick up for his mum but then she sent him off and the husband might still be treating her like that and there is no body to stick up for her.
- What tattoo does Roland have? He has a tattoo of a tiger shark on his wrist.
